This week on Thirty, Flirty, and Panicking, Kelsey sits down with Being° Coach Sarita Walsh for a grounding conversation about slowing down, interrupting intrusive thoughts, and reconnecting with who you really are beneath the noise of comparison, pressure, and expectation. In a world that constantly asks us to rush, perform, and figure everything out, Sarita helps us explore what happens when we pause long enough to notice our inner world, and make choices from a place of clarity, not fear.

Sarita’s approach is thoughtful and introspective, yet the tools she shares are remarkably practical and immediately usable. Together, she and Kelsey explore what it means to challenge long-held beliefs, build a values-led life, regulate your nervous system, and create a future that feels aligned, not recycled from the past. If you’re reinventing yourself, rebuilding after loss, or simply craving more presence and self-understanding, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

This conversation was recorded back in May and intentionally saved for a post-launch episode... and we can't wait to share it!

WHAT YOU’LL TAKE AWAY:

• How to question intrusive thoughts so they stop running the show• A simple daily practice to make each day feel more grounded and intentional

• Why identifying your core values helps every decision feel clearer

• How to create a future from possibility — not fear or old patterns

• Tools for navigating transitions, uncertainty, and identity shifts

• How to separate who you actually are from who you learned to be

• What it means to choose presence over performance

• How slowing down creates more clarity (and less overwhelm)
