Hi, I'm Kasey
I'm a mother, first and foremost, in status and archetype. Motherhood is where I'm deeply connected to my purpose and vision. As a coach and business woman, I'm as fierce an advocate for my clients as I am for my children. I LOVE connecting with people. I've always been genuinely curious about others. Family friends joke that I find out all the family secrets because of my ability to connect with people around me. This is useful in my coaching practice…not so useful if you are walking around the city with me–ask my kids! One thing I know is I've always had a connection to being in deep work with people.
Why I Do This
I believe that we ALL have gifts and I'm on a mission to help people discover their unique gifts and share them. I felt a calling to become a coach during a leadership workshop when I was told that I made a profound difference in the lives of other participants simply by being me and sharing my gifts. I was overjoyed to be able to support others in creating their own dreams and desires. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to pursue a career where I could be my loving and compassionate, space-holding self. Soon after, I trained as an integrative and cultural intelligence coach.
My Transformation
Living in Italy transformed my worldview and has come to inform the way I live my life, the way I seek connection, honor diversity, and remain continually open to learning—all of these values are honored and interwoven into both my personal and professional pursuits.
A prominent theme throughout my time in Italy was that of overcoming fear. French was the only foreign language I knew. I was a fish out of water. I'd never lived in the city, I was afraid of public transportation and had never lived more than a 30-minute drive away from my family home. EVERYTHING was a practice of stepping outside of my comfort zone. I eventually even gave birth to my first child in Italy, which was something I could never have imagined doing.
Just as I'd never thought I would fall in love and start a family in another country, I had never envisioned myself as an entrepreneur until my husband, Vincent, shared his dream to own a butcheria. Guided by my newly discovered entrepreneurial spirit, I dove right in and followed his lead. Throughout this journey, we kept ourselves continually open to limitless possibilities. We stayed in that mindset to nurture Vincent's vision of bringing our first business to life. While our story of bringing Corsello Butcheria to life isn't conventional, it's one of great pride and resilience, rooted in passion and vision.
Speaking at TEDx
I've always loved being on stage. I started as a dancer, was part of the Christmas Pageant at church, performed in elementary school plays, sang in the choir and was a cheerleader! ADHD kept me from developing the skill to play an instrument, I loved performing but not the discipline it took to train as a musician. Public speaking is a great fit because I'm not performing as much as simply being myself to deliver a message.
Watching Brene Brown's TED Talk on vulnerability blew me away. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to do it, too: inspire, connect and move an audience—much like my dad did playing instruments on stage. I told the Universe I would deliver a TED Talk someday. And one day, TEDx actually came to my city! I knew it was the Universe answering me. It wasn't easy, I had to overcome my self-doubt, self-judgment and fear on my journey to the TED stage. I had to do it one small step at a time, cultivating the willingness to believe that I could. Delivering my TED Talk taught me that I'm capable, that sharing my truth gives others permission to tap into their own authenticity.

"I'm setting aside time to dream. It's my biggest asset. I used to be ashamed of being a dreamer but I see it differently now in part by coaching with Kasey."
