Kelsey is a writer and founder of The Essential You [http://theessentialyoublog.com]. Originally a small-town American girl, she decided to follow her dreams of adventure and self-discovery, leaving everything behind and moving to São Paulo, Brazil with only $600 to her name and zero knowledge of Portuguese. She is now sharing her passion for helping people grow and unlock their inner potential through her writing, and occasionally rescuing abandoned kittens along the way.
