Kelsey Bratcher's Rollercoaster: Divorce, Foreclosure, and Finding Hope
You're operating and you know either where you're not growing, you're stretching yourself or you're stressing yourself, and ideally, you're living in like a situation where you're stretching yourself a little bit to keep growing right. The other piece of my big takeaway from there is when you do get anxiety to just do the thing that you're feeling anxious about.
Imagine facing a divorce, foreclosure, and a house fire all within a short span. That's exactly what Kelsey Bratcher, host of the 'Get Automated' podcast, experienced. In this episode of 'Nowhere To Go But Up', Kelsey opens up about his struggles with anxiety and depression following his divorce. He talks candidly about the 13 months he spent grappling with these issues, only to face another blow when his parents' house, where he was staying, burned down.
Despite these overwhelming challenges, Kelsey is now traveling across the country with his ex-wife and their 12-year-old daughter in a travel trailer. His story is one of resilience and determination to rebuild his life. Kelsey shares his belief in the importance of pushing yourself to grow rather than succumbing to stress. He advises that facing your anxieties head-on can be a powerful way to build resilience.
This episode is a raw and honest look at the power of vulnerability and the benefits of therapy and self-help resources. Kelsey's journey serves as a beacon of hope for anyone facing similar struggles, showing that it's possible to overcome even the toughest of times.
