She also shares an exciting family update, spending three months living abroad in Uruguay through Boundless Life, followed by extended travel beyond.With honesty and intention, Kelly explains her decision to place the podcast on pause for a few months, not as an ending, but as a conscious choice to honor time, focus, and family.
