CHELSEA MCKINNEY

Chelsea McKinney is a seasoned ultra-athlete, attorney, mental performance coach and identity mentor for high-performing executives and mothers.

Chelsea has become the expert of choice for high performers grappling with the ebbs and flows of life that lead to loss of identity. She transformed her own experience of identity loss, which intensified after childbirth, into a catalyst for achieving audacious goals. Enduring and ultimately overcoming severe postpartum depression, she tested various approaches before formulating her "Audacious Identity" method. In this method, Chelsea teaches that through the pursuit of hard goals, meaningful rituals, and thoughtful reflection, anyone can channel the transformation of their identity into a force for personal growth, opportunity, and self-embodiment.

An alumna of USC and Southwestern Law School, Chelsea excelled academically, completing her studies in just three and two years, respectively. After graduating, Chelsea entered the start-up world as a force, quickly becoming a cornerstone in operational management, fundraising, and legal strategy. Chelsea's ascent culminated in her dream role as VP of Operations for a quick growing AgTech company, where she worked directly with the CEO and Board of Directors. Paralleling her business success, over the last several years Chelsea trained for and completed the Born To Run 100 Miler in 2021 with her three year old in tow, a self-supported 50-miler during COVID, among other endurance feats.

With a unique blend of vulnerability and strength, she empowers audiences to embrace change and turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Chelsea has a proven track record of connecting with high-achieving audiences, leaving a lasting impact, and inspiring positive change. She is a passionate advocate for self-reliance, resourcefulness, and embracing our ever-evolving sense of identity.
