Episode 379: The Power of Legacy with Chelsea Stevenson

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What do henna, legacy, and living unapologetically all have in common? They are just some of the facets that make up Chelsea Stevenson’s work. Chelsea joins me this week for a conversation about the power in legacy. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chelsea is a professional henna artist, business strategist, and homeschooling mother of three. During our time together, we discussed a variety of topics including her motivation for</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">building</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">a table rather than</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">taking a seat</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">at an existing one, and honoring your values. She offered poignant takeaways, including this one, “The decisions we make, the actions we take, and the words we say are powerful. And, we have to own how they impact the world around us.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode you’ll hear:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">A brief history of henna and its use as a medium to create art.
