Ditch the resolutions that don’t stick. This year, build habits that last.
The Story You’ve Been Living Doesn’t Have to Be the One You Keep Telling.
Every day, you write the story of your life—sometimes without realizing it. Maybe your current chapter feels stuck, weighed down by patterns like procrastination or self-doubt, or habits you just can’t seem to break. Perhaps you’re juggling endless responsibilities, struggling with imposter syndrome, or wondering why a life that looks fine from the outside feels so unfulfilling on the inside.
Does this sound familiar?
Here’s the truth: the story you’ve been living doesn’t have to define how it ends.
Why Stories Have Always Guided Us
For centuries, storytelling has been humanity’s way of exploring life’s challenges and finding meaning. From Shakespeare’s Hamlet wrestling with indecision and identity to modern films like The Pursuit of Happiness, where resilience triumphs over hardship, we’re captivated by characters who mirror our struggles and show us what’s possible.
Stories give us the chance to step outside of ourselves, even for a moment. They let us see our lives from a fresh perspective, offering insights, hope, and the emotional space to breathe. In their escape, we often find clarity.
Science reinforces what we instinctively feel: storytelling engages both our rational and emotional minds, making lessons stick and inspiring action. Stories resonate deeply because they reflect universal truths about perseverance, transformation, and the pursuit of balance and happiness.
Rewriting Your Story Through Narrative Coaching
Imagine seeing your life as a story—complete with challenges, turning points, and moments of triumph. What if you could step into the role of author, reshaping the narrative to reflect your deepest values and desires? Narrative coaching uses the power of storytelling to help you break free from limiting beliefs, create healthy habits, and align your life with what truly matters to you.
Take The Lion King, for example. Simba’s journey isn’t just about reclaiming his place as king—it’s about breaking free from guilt and self-doubt, finding courage, and embracing his true identity. Like Simba, you can transform your own story by uncovering the themes that shape your choices and using them to create the life you want.
Through narrative coaching, you’ll discover:
Your story matters, and you have the power to change it. Through reflection, guidance, and intentional action, you can write a story where you live with purpose, balance, and joy.
This Is Your Invitation
Every great story has a turning point. This could be yours. Are you ready to rewrite your narrative, break bad habits, and embrace your full potential? The timeless art of storytelling has guided us for centuries—now, it’s your turn to step into a new chapter.

Hey there, I'm Kelli Nelson
Life has a way of teaching us through its ups and downs, doesn’t it?
Over the years, I’ve learned a lot—sometimes the hard way—and discovered that even the biggest challenges can lead to incredible growth.
As a coach, author, and lifelong learner, I’m passionate about helping others turn their struggles into stepping stones. Whether it’s breaking old habits, finding clarity, or creating a life that feels aligned with your deepest values, I’m here to guide you through the journey.
Because no matter where you’ve been, the best chapters of your story are still ahead.
Kelli was so helpful to me in forming a small business! She helped me lay the groundwork that I hadn’t thought of, like why am I doing this? What is your Mission Statement? Who is your target market? All the groundwork helped me greatly. When I actually started designing and creating my business it came together smoothly because of Kelli helping me beforehand. She is positive and encouraging and that is helpful also when your taking on a small business adventure. Kelli is excellent and I highly recommend her!

I have been very happy with my coaching sessions with Kelli. She has helped me to identify the real issues that have been preventing me from achieving my goals. She is working with me in practical ways to help me learn necessary skills and take the steps to transform myself so that I may have the life I desire.

I am so excited to be working with Kelli!! We started our coaching sessions at a time when I desperately needed it. She is so easy to talk to and has helped me uncover so many issues that I have tried to keep buried inside myself for so long. I cannot wait to see where our future sessions will lead!!

In the short 2 years I've known Kelli our friendship has grown and blossomed into way more then I could have hoped for. To know her is to know kindness; an interested heart, not only just in my business growth but in my personal growth as well. She pushes me to leave my comfort zone, to ask the hard questions about where my life is going and what do I want that to look like and mostly how do I achieve that in small workable steps.
Thanks to Kelli I'm interested in learning new things, engaging with my social media, dealing with my debt, and growing my two businesses as much as I can right now (doing the behind the scenes kind of stuff).
Talking with Kelli is easy, she makes me feel comfortable no matter what the topic or struggle we may be discussing to overcome or dive head dip into. I always feel as if I can conquer (said topic) when I leave the conversation and I'm growing in my confidence during our zoom calls.
