In today’s episode of Start Scared, we’re chatting with Kelsey Cook—certified teacher, mama of four, and the powerhouse behind Learning with Kelsey, a subscription box service that helps parents engage their young children in hands-on, meaningful learning at home.
Kelsey shares the story of how she transitioned from the classroom to entrepreneurship, juggling the challenges of motherhood and growing a business that now serves families across all 50 states.
Kelsey opens up about the reality of starting a business with little ones in tow, how her husband joined the team full-time, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. She gets real about the messy parts of pursuing your dreams, learning to fail forward, and how she’s rediscovered herself through it all.
If you’re a mama with big dreams and you feel overwhelmed by the juggle, this episode is for you. Kelsey’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and the power of starting scared, no matter where you are in your journey.
