Published: June 18, 2018, 2:47 p.m.

Chelsea talks about one of the—if not the—most disempowering acts of all time: waiting. Whether it’s waiting to break up or to start dating a person of a certain stature or compatibility, whether it’s waiting to quit a wasteful habit or a destructive dependency, it all circles back to our fear of assuming our full potential. Chelsea gets real about her frightening dependency on Adderall and her tendency to put her “real life” on hold… for an entire decade… and why freeing herself from her own self-restraint is the bold move that quickly launched her into, not only having more but, showing up more which directly relates to being more.She talks about how no longer waiting to become more before she acts is the very act that’s placing her in the arena she’s always longed to be invited into.For starters, The Bachelor world. Last Tuesday, Chelsea was invited onto iHeart Radio’s Help! I Suck At Dating—a podcast hosted by three former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants. In today’s episode, she talks about how she made that happen, what that represents, and why she shamelessly applied to be on The Bachelor four times… spoiler… it doesn’t just have to do with love.
