Hi. I’m Chelsey

Coach. Consultant. Community-builder.

I help entrepreneurs build businesses that actually work—for their energy, their values, and their life.

I founded Your Initiative Co. to support values-driven entrepreneurs and the organizations that serve them. Whether I’m coaching a solo business owner or consulting on a government-funded program, my approach is rooted in clarity, sustainability, and care.

How I Work

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all strategies. My work is personalized, values-aligned, and built around real people navigating real life.

Here’s what you can expect:

Personalized Support – Coaching is shaped around your energy, goals, and season—not a formula.
Collaborative Consulting – I work alongside teams, not above them, helping you clarify direction and streamline systems.
Program Delivery with Intention – I build and teach entrepreneurship content that’s trauma-informed, inclusive, and grounded in lived experience.

Whether we’re meeting one-on-one, designing programming together, or supporting your clients—I show up with strategy, honesty, and care.
