Chelsey March

You have proof of what is possible for you. You get closer to it every single day. Remember where you were a year ago. Now think back a decade. Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in living life that we forget to see how far we’ve come. There is no such thing as an overnight transformation. But when you give yourself credit and take a moment to recognize your progress, you will see that you have proof. You’ve done this before. Go do it again.

There have been two times in my life I’ve been afraid of dying. The first time, I was getting ready to have a spinal fusion. The second time, I was flying through the air after being hit by an SUV, praying please let me live- I didn’t clean my kitchen! Spoiler- I survived both times. And my mother didn’t judge my dirty kitchen when I finally got to go home. The cool thing about knowing your life is in the balance, is that nothing else seems quite so terrifying. Yes. I was scared when I left my stable but miserable day job to go all in on myself. Yes. I was practically shitting myself as I drove across the country to start over in a new city. Yes. Big risks are fucking scary. But they won’t kill you. And most of the time they pay off. And even if they don’t pay off, you still come out on the other side- stronger, braver, and smarter. So I want to know. Did you take risks this year? Were they scary?

Spooky nail season.

Yes this is a funfetti cake in a mug. Yes I put extra sprinkles on top. . Excellent choice, 10/10 would recommend

This is my office today. A year ago I was working in a filthy tiny room with no windows, freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer. I was sick more often than not, due to the physical environment combined with the stress of working for a person who didn’t respect me. . I decided I deserved better. . I knew I had big dreams that would never come to be if I stayed where I was. . So what did I do? . I made a plan. . I started driving for ride share, and when I trusted that I could support myself while I figured out my next move, I quit the job that was making me sick and miserable. . And with a little bravery and perseverance, everything started to come together. . Freelance gigs fell into my lap. . Coaching opportunities came out of nowhere. . I signed an exclusive contract with a SAG-AFTRA agency and auditions started happening. . I had the ability to move to my dream city. . The life I wanted came together because I decided I deserved better and took the necessary steps to make it happen. . I didn’t do anything crazy to get to where I am. I made plans and decisions based on desired outcomes. Anyone can do that, so long as you are brave enough to follow through.

Update. The cat thinks it’s a dog. . I keep trying to switch it up but my favorite things really are animals, my fiancé, and my career. #sorrynotsorry🤷

Currently taking care of 16 animals. (9 of them are fish but hey!) This one has decided I’m her favorite. I’m here for it, tbh. . . . . . . . #adventuresindogsitting #notalapdog #crazydogladystatus #loonyluna #cutedogalert #thegirlsnottoobadeither #thisisajoke #🤷🏽‍♀️

I see a pink wall I want to take a picture of. A dog comes up and starts peeing mid photo. Seth sees a wall he wants a picture of? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

2 months in LA, finally getting it together. Headshots edited ✅ Post Cards designed ✅ Picking one to send out? 👹👹👹 Help!

You know you have it in you. . You know it. . Even if you’ve only let yourself see that spark of possibility. . Because most people dismiss their sparks before they can even see them. . But you can see it. You’ve seen a spark of a “crazy” dream and you know it’s all possible. . And as you read this post, you see it. You know the one thing you would do. If anything were possible. . Because it is. If it’s within you, it is possible. ✨⚡️💥

A moment for reflection, if you will. . A year ago at this time, I was finishing up a conservatory program back in Chicago. I was working a job where I felt so incredibly stuck, and I knew I couldn’t keep doing what I was doing. I said to a friend, I’m going to be gone from my job by November 30th. Sure enough, the universe has a funny way of pushing you in the right direction. . I didn’t know for sure if it would all work, but I knew I had to try. A year later, I’ve done everything I said I would and more. . I live where I want to. . I get to be an actor. . I get to work with some of the best clients I’ve ever had. . And yet, I want more. . I want to be more polished. More successful. More grounded. . But the most amazing thing is, I already am more than I was a year ago. I already am. . But in the moment we forget to see how far we’ve come because we see where we want to be. . So take a moment to remember where you’ve been so you can appreciate where you are now. . Drop an emoji if this speaks to you 🖤❤️🖤

Here is the unfiltered truth- You are already enough. . As you are. . Of course we all have work to do, and yes there is always room for improvement. . But you -as you are right now- are powerful. You are already a person who gets shit done. Who kicks ass and follows their dreams. . You have already come so far on your way to becoming the person you want to be, and where you are is light years ahead of where you were. . You are a process. Don’t ever forget to enjoy it.

Hi! I’m Chelsey, and if you’re new around here I’m the original inner badass. I just moved to LA from Chicago to give my acting career the chance it deserves to thrive. I have a genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which caused me to have severe scoliosis requiring a spinal fusion. I got my degree in theater and went on to complete a conservatory program before moving to LA. Between graduations I have had the opportunity to work as an actor both on stage and screen. Now I’m out in LA, doing the damn thing and teaching others how to do their own damn things. The journey has been just that- a journey. But I know this for sure: if I didn’t believe I could get here, I never would have gotten here. I am on a mission to show the world that every dream is valid and achievable and that every body is a beautiful expression of the person you were meant to be. No one but you gets to decide how your story is written, and you know how amazing that story can be. Join me on my journey as I write the rest of my story, and let me know yours! I can’t wait to meet you! ❤️🖤❤️

This little guy doesn’t really care too much for toys. Or men. Yet when I’m not looking he does like to cuddle with them. #weirddog #adoptdontshop
