Choosing Who You Want to Be Changes Your Story with Kelly-Anne Appleton

Today we are speaking with Mindset & Success Coach, Kelly-Anne Appleton. As a self-proclaimed “seeker” Kelly-Anne has spent the last 20 years of her life on a quest to learn to love and understand herself. After years of personal growth and healing, she finally happened on material that reinforced and solidified her belief that everything she was searching for was inside her. In 2020 she became certified in that work through the Proctor-Gallagher Institute. As an empathetic and intuitive Mindset & Success Coach, she is passionate about helping others to transform their lives through this work, break patterns, uncover their power, create a life they love, and truly know they are worthy of all good things. 

Kelly-Anne was one of 47 women who were successful in bringing their abuser to justice in the largest case of non-residential sexual abuse by a Catholic priest in North America. She has spoken at a number of events and her story was highlighted in an episode of the CBC The Fifth Estate entitled “The Good Father”.  

Kelly-Anne has been an outspoken advocate for the rights of survivors and continues to work to empower and inspire women. Her story will soon be published in the collaborative book, She Is Worthy. As a trained leader through One Circle Foundation, she currently hosts a Women’s Circle in her hometown, a space where women’s souls are fed and filled up by the love, support and energy of the women around them.

In this episode we discuss:

1)  The process, experience and power of shame and how it can be such a block that keeps us stuck in our story. Shame also showed up in the emotions of anger, resentment, and frustration and it affected every relationship in her life.  Kelly-Anne does an incredible job of speaking about shame, the power of our voices, and how our story can truly help one person and that can change everything for that person.

2) Recognizing the difference between advice and council.  Advice tends to come from people who are not doing the things that we want to do or not living the life we want to live. Council represents the people you respect individually, who they are, what they are going through and how we can learn so much from them.

3) Forgiveness is a decision that we are making, not a feeling that we have.  Embracing forgiveness is about us choosing what we get to carry, what is supporting us and how we choose to live our lives.
