Start Scared
Start Scared is the podcast for busy mamas who love their kids but feel like they've lost themselves in the chaos of motherhood. If you're ready to rediscover the woman you are outside of “Mom,” even if you're not sure where to begin, this is the place for you.
Together, we'll tackle the lies we tell ourselves, smash through the excuses holding us back, and gain the clarity we need to start showing up for ourselves unapologetically. Because, Mama, you matter—not just as a mom, but as the incredible woman God created you to be.
It’s time to take that first step toward finding yourself again. Are you ready to Start Scared?

228. [INTERVIEW] From Teacher to Entrepreneur: Building a Nationwide Business While Raising Four Kids with Kelsey Cook
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.
