For women with big goals, high standards, and the self-awareness to know something is getting in their way.
You are not here because you are stuck in a rut and fine with it. You are here because you have real ambitions, you take your health and wellbeing seriously, and you have enough self-awareness to know that whatever is blocking you right now goes deeper than a strategy problem. You’ve tried fixing it from the outside and it hasn’t stuck.
That is exactly the kind of person I work with. Women who are leaders and business owners who carry real financial and professional weight, and are not willing to keep doing it at the expense of themselves. Women who will look at their own blindspots even when it is uncomfortable, because they know that is where the real work is.
There are two ways we can work together:
1:1 Coaching For the woman who wants to work directly with me on her specific situation. We go wherever the work takes us — no formula, no fluff, just honest conversations that get underneath what is actually going on and help you move.
Ascend A 9-month experience for female business owners and leaders, anchored by two in-person retreats and a small group of women who get it.
Identify where change is possible
Generally, as a skeptic, I did not anticipate growth or development through our work. I was wrong. Full stop - WRONG.
Through Kelly Travis' no nonsense approach and determination, I was able to take an honest look at who I was and what I wanted. The work was hard and harrowing. Through the process though, I was able to identify where change was possible and necessary.
More importantly, I was able to establish metrics for that change. Kelly was amazing at both hand-holding and ass-kicking.

What makes this different
Most coaching gives you a new framework and sends you on your way. Which is fine, until you are right back where you started six months later wondering what happened. My background in mental health means I can see what most coaches miss — the belief quietly running your decisions, the pattern you keep bumping into and calling bad timing, the thing underneath the thing that has not been touched yet. That is where I work. And that is why the changes that come out of this actually stick.
Aspire for more
“Kelly inspired me to look deeper and aspire for more, both personally and professionally. If you've ever really wanted to take a good, hard look at yourself and make improvements that you've been struggling to do or afraid to try, Kelly is the perfect person to enlist in your journey of self-discovery.”

Greatest a-ha’s
“Through our work together one of the greatest a-ha’s I experienced was that asking for help or support isn’t a weakness. It’s a gift to myself and those around me! As I worked towards my goals, I adapted healthier habits with fitness and movement, took some bold leaps in my business to move toward a life of greater freedom, and learned how to shift my mindset and negative self-talk (which is an ongoing journey!). ”
— Stacey Wedding, Founder and CEO of Professionals in Philanthropy
This is not for everyone
If you are comfortable with the status quo, not interested in looking at your own patterns, or not willing to do the work that real growth requires — this is not the right fit. I work with women who run toward hard things, not away from them. If that is you, let's talk.
