Strength Story: Kellie
The Strength of Awareness
For Kellie, Self-awareness is what keeps her steady. In the prison setting where she works as a therapist, it allows her to stay present, absorb others’ pain without carrying it, and create trust in tense environments. Beyond work, it shapes how she shows up as a mother, partner, and leader — grounded, intentional, and committed to holding space for others with care.
