After a two-and-a-half-month hiatus, Kelsey returns to announce the podcast rebrand from "Visionary Life" to "Rain or Shine." This deeply personal episode explores the philosophy behind the new name, why consistency matters even when life gets hard, and how planting seeds during difficult seasons leads to future growth. Kelsey shares vulnerable insights about business ownership, seasonal transitions, motherhood, and the courage it takes to make changes when something feels stagnant.

• Making November the best month ever with intentional planning

• Your marketing plan isn't static—when something stops feeling good, it's okay to pause and reassess
• The "rain or shine" mentality means showing up consistently regardless of circumstances, knowing that sunny seasons follow rainy ones
• If you're unhappy with your current results, look back 90 days and take accountability for what you did (or didn't do)
• Planting seeds during difficult seasons changes your relationship with those challenges
• Slowing down in winter months isn't weakness—it's an opportunity for strategic thinking and planning
• Changing direction doesn't mean you're making a mistake; sometimes it's the exact risk you need to take
