    What legacy will you leave behind as a parent? Entrepreneur Kelsey Smith was jolted into rediscovering her purpose after an emergency surgery. What would she leave behind? Kelsey shares her experiences about pursing dreams, getting creative about obstacles, and surrounding yourself with support.  Hear how Kelsey created the "Momma Has Goals" app and community to help busy moms take  steps of personal growth.

    About Kelsey:
         
    After the complicated delivery of her first son, Kelsey realized that while she had accomplished many "goals", they weren't goals that brought her fulfillment.
    As she woke up from surgery she wondered if she hadn't woken up, what story would she leave behind?
         Would her children know what brought her joy? What she stood for? This experience led Kelsey to her own journey of fulfillment and self-discovery where she had the massive realization that this feeling was far too common for mothers all over the world. Kelsey knew she needed to normalize moms having big dreams + making their own fulfillment a priority, so she created a space that helped women and mothers do just that.
         Through her community, the Momma Has Goals phone app, events, and programs Kelsey leads women to live the life of their dreams for themselves and their families with the mission to help all current and aspiring mommas find their highest selves in and outside of motherhood.
