HER STORY ⟡ Kelsey Adams
Today, we're meeting Kelsey Adams with Homes with Kelsey.
Tell us about you and your background!
A little bit about me, well where do I start!? My name is Kelsey and I live here in Batavia, on the East side of Cincinnati, OH. Actually a native to KY and I never thought I would cross the river to live, but man does love make you do the craziest of things, ha! I am avid nature enthusiasts and do more “outside living” than inside. You can find me in my garden, hiking, camping, playing with my dogs, enjoying a motorcycle on backroads, teaching or practicing yoga, and working when I am not spending time with loves ones. I am simple girl who wears her heart on her sleeve. I am worked in a variety of career fields, with an Education background and spend a majority of my adult life in Social Work. Through social work I would my passion of yoga and became a certified Yoga Instructor in 2019 and have been teaching all over NKY, Cincinnati since. It is my greatest passion and has led me to connect with so many special individuals. I am a licensed REALTOR in KY and OH and could not imagine a better career for myself. I am blessed to do what I do and work with so many great families, helping them find their next home! I believe my passions through yoga, social work, and as being a real estate advisor has given me an incredible foundation to serve our communities here in Cincinnati.
Tell us about your business and why you started it!
Homes with Kelsey started when I began my real estate career. “Happy, Healthy, Home”, became much much more. I am a licensed Realtor in Cincinnati and Kentucky. I love to connect with people and have always worked in a service field industry. With my passion for teaching yoga, understanding of holistic wellness, and practice of daily affirmations and preaching manifestation… “Happy Healthy Home” became my branding slogan, but truly they are words I live by.
When you come to my yoga class I want you to be mindful and intentional of creating a happy, loving, and self serving “home” for yourself, whether on the mat or off. It is the same philosophy I greet my real estate career with and each individual or family I have the privilege of representing. Home is not just a physical space, it's about creating a sense of connection, belongingness, and inspiration for yourself and/or your family. “Happy Healthy Home, Homes with Kelsey” is about believing in yourself, reaching for your best self, and having your greatest support along the way.
Over the next year I would like to grow as a business owner by educating my followers through what it physically means to be “Happy and Healthy at Home”. I will be pushing content on my social media platforms about holistic wellness, ways to make your home sustainable and “green” in easy, practical ways, and providing recipes for homeowners of natural products to use in your home that are sustainable, chemical free, and natural. Education is power! Stay tuned!
What do you love about being a business owner?
Flexibility and accountability. I start my day on my terms and end my day on my terms. Yes, there are days where the phone calls don’t stop and the “to do” lists pile up but that's where practicing balance and gratitude can serve you the most. If you aren't hustling, you aren't getting paid and as a business owner, you are responsible for you.. And sometimes many others. You have to demand the best from yourself, each day so you can continue to deliver the best you for your clients. It has also been incredibly educating as a business owner to understand the benefits of the tax code. You have the opportunity to make more money and keep more of your hard earned money, which allows you to invest more back into your business.
What advice would you give yourself from 5 years ago OR your past self just starting your business?
“Get out of your own way”. Growth comes in moments of being uncomfortable. You don’t get anywhere by standing still.
Find a mentor and study what they do. You’ll develop your own practice on things but don't be afraid to ask questions!
Create a vision board, set your daily intentions, meditate, and learn about the power of manifestation. If you believe yourself to fail, you will. If you intentionally believe you will succeed, opportunities will be created for you. Take them.
What does BEAUTY mean to you?
Beauty is about becoming. It is clearing away the ideas and societal standards we place on ourselves or certain situations. Beauty is creating space and appreciation for what is and doing so with grace and acceptance. Beauty is meeting moments with kindness and understanding and extending gratitude for all.
Who or what inspires you?
Many things in life inspire me. My finance for his endless ambition, my father for his kindness and generosity, my yogi’s in class for their dedication and journey or self acceptance, my clients and their trust in me, nature for its continual lessons, and myself for my heart and patience. The understanding and appreciation of how gratitude can continually manifest abundance in your life, truly inspires me.
