Jules (00:13) Okay, Kelly Resendez, I am so excited to be able to interview you and find out about all the amazing things that you do. Thank you so much for agreeing to do this. Kelly Resendez (00:24) Absolutely, just totally blessed to be here. Jules (00:27) Okay, let’s start off by telling everybody, if you wouldn’t mind introducing yourself, telling people what you do and what your business is. Kelly Resendez (00:36) Yeah, absolutely. So I live in Northern California all the way across the world from you there in Australia. And I am the president of Minerva, which is a women’s femtech company that’s really trying to revolutionize women’s health. also am co-founder of GoBundance Women, which is a Jules (00:41) Woohoo! Yeah. Yeah? Kelly Resendez (00:59) elite mastermind community for just ambitious women here in the United States that are looking to scale without sacrifice. And then also a mom to two adult kids, which is my favorite role and writer, speaker, just wear a lot of hats in my life. But most importantly, just try to make a massive impact everywhere I go. Jules (01:22) which is of course why I love you straight away and I can’t wait to hear more about it. So let’s talk a little bit about disruption because I have called this particular series, She’s the Boss Disruptors. ⁓ I know that you are making change happen. ⁓ all over the place. want to know is there something that really is lighting you up that you’re trying to disrupt and I’m guessing it’s around FemTech but please tell me a little bit about you and what drives you. Kelly Resendez (01:48) Yeah! Absolutely. So I would say on a macro level, I really want to empower women. I believe that empowering women changes the world and makes it a better place. know, our leadership numbers are pathetic when it comes to the number of C-suite executives, founders, know, the amount of venture capital going to female founders. Jules (01:57) Yeah. Yep. Yep, I would agree. And I think you’re better in America than we are in Australia, so that’ll give you an idea. I was just speaking to someone and saying, in Australia, the Office of Gender Equality, or the Office for Women, have just come out and said we’re 26th in the world for gender equality and yet 4th in the world for tertiary education. So you’re doing better than us. Kelly Resendez (02:17) my goodness! ⁓ yeah. Yeah, well, I think that’s a big piece of it is that, you know, I don’t believe part of the disruption is in gender equality. I don’t think that there’s anything equal about men and women. I think we’re diabolically different and we’ve got to find a way to be able to navigate those differences in the workplace so that women that really want to be in a position of power or authority have that opportunity. Jules (02:44) Right. Kelly Resendez (02:58) And so one of the micro ways that I do that is through Minerva, which is really a platform that’s designed to provide telemedicine in all 50 states, hormone replacement therapy. And then also we’re developing a technology to really give women more personalized care on a daily basis so that we feel at our best. I believe part of the disruption comes from getting women Jules (02:59) Yeah. Kelly Resendez (03:26) back into their physical well-being so that their emotional and mental well-being thrives so that they want to apply for the promotion. They want to start the company. They believe that they can do it all. And I think that that’s really been taken away from women over the last 20 years. And we had a major change happen here in the United States yesterday when the FDA finally removed the black box warning. Jules (03:27) Yeah. Yes! Kelly Resendez (03:54) on estrogen, which is important. I don’t know that most of your listeners probably know, just as early as the 1900s, women were only living to age 50. I don’t think we were intended to live this long. And now that we do, we’ve got to be able to replace some of the hormones that deplete naturally over time so that we can protect our physical well-being. Jules (03:57) ⁓ gosh. Yeah. Yeah, so tell me a little bit more about Minerva then. I had thought it was maybe a product, but now it sounds like you’ve built like a platform for Health for Women. Yeah, so what is it? Talking to a GP or a specialist? Kelly Resendez (04:25) Yeah, it is. It’s telemedicine. Yeah. Yep. It’s talking to a doctor. Believe it or not, most of the people that specialize in OB-GYN care don’t actually have the education around hormone metabolism or titration and are not giving women what they need. I know I went the Western medicine route originally and was told I couldn’t have my hormones tested. you know, I believe functional medicine is really the key. Jules (04:36) Yeah. Right. Kelly Resendez (05:00) to being able to get people into the best shape of their life, which means they’re gonna be hormonally balanced. And so we provide telemedicine services in all 50 states, you know, really taking a look at, yeah, that means that they would meet with a doctor and really get online telemedicine. And then we would be testing their hormones, their thyroid, potentially their gut as well. Jules (05:06) Yeah. But what does that actually mean? That people can just book in… In person or online? Okay. Kelly Resendez (05:29) so that they can set themselves up for maximum longevity. Jules (05:29) Right. Wow, that’s amazing. why, how did that come about? Is this your baby? Are you the founder? Kelly Resendez (05:39) I am the co-founder, ⁓ my co-founder, yes. So I would tell you that I’ve always been passionate about empowering women. So through GoBundance, Jules (05:42) Okay, so how did it come about? me what the light bulb moment was. Kelly Resendez (05:53) through my platform, which is called Big Voices, that was actually the name of my last book as well, that you can check out on Amazon. I’ve always wanted to empower women. My journey and my career has taken me to heights that I would say a lot of people would think would be impossible, but I was really set up from my parents just in, my mom was a. Jules (06:17) All right, we’re going to talk about that in a minute. Kelly Resendez (06:18) investor, entrepreneur, and so I was given a lot of, you know, I would say of the tools and resources that allowed me to get where I wanted to go, but there were so many women that didn’t have that same experience as me. And so one of the things that I really did was I helped women with managing overthinking, self-sabotage, reducing emotional triggers so that they could experience joy and reduce self-suffering. Jules (06:26) the role modeling. Kelly Resendez (06:46) And what I found was you can only go so far if women don’t have energy and physical well-being. And so I met Dr. Betty Murray, who’s one of the United States leading hormone metabolism doctors through my mastermind. And we connected. And being a strategic advisor in the business world and helping companies scale, we really just had a great connection. And over time, I realized that Jules (06:46) Right. Right. Kelly Resendez (07:15) I really wanted to focus on this area so that we will be able to then take those women and empower them into greater achievements in their career and with their families. And what I know to be true is that when women are happy, conscious and thriving, our children, our partners, our businesses, the world in general becomes a better place. Jules (07:18) Right. Yep. Yeah, which is just so fantastic. ⁓ So you’ve alluded to your background and some of the other businesses that you have built. Let’s go right back if you’re up for it. Let’s start with you, maybe eight or nine. So you’ve just said your father was an entrepreneur or something. So tell me about, so dad’s an entrepreneur, what did mum do? And do you have brothers and sisters? Kelly Resendez (07:56) Yes! Yes. Yeah, my mom was a real estate investor and helped run my dad’s heating and air conditioning business. And so I always say I kind of started in business when I was about four. You know, it started in office and by the time I was probably eight, I was doing invoicing, filing, you know, all of the things in supporting, yeah, supporting my parents’ business. And so definitely blessed in that regard. And then I also Jules (08:09) ⁓ wow! Right? ⁓ lucky you. Kelly Resendez (08:32) You know, was able to experience just a level of abundance without stress. My parents really never worried about money. They never said things like, we can’t afford that or, you know, no, that’s impossible. Like it was truly a sky’s the limit household and just extremely, extremely blessed for that. Jules (08:50) Right. You are. Very lucky. And were you good at school? Did you enjoy school? Yeah? Kelly Resendez (08:57) Yeah, yeah, I was definitely, well, I was a classic overachiever. You know, I will tell you that I am a recovering perfectionist, so I wanted to be the center of attention for, you know, the first half of my life, and that served me well in school, because when you’re trying to please, you know, you tend to do better in school as well. Jules (09:02) Right! Yeah, well, I mean, I guess as a teacher, what you want is the kids who really want to learn and want to impress. OK, so then did you go on to uni after that or straight into business? Kelly Resendez (09:23) Yeah. You know, was combination of both. So I had an opportunity to start at a bank when I was only 18 and I spent the next 16 years at that bank. I got into the mortgage industry and being that overachiever, I definitely did well. By the time I was in my early 20s, I was earning close to Jules (09:38) Okay. Yeah? Kelly Resendez (09:52) you know, seven figures at that point. And so definitely did very well career wise. I was also going to college simultaneously and then stayed in the mortgage industry until, you know, 2011 when I made, you know, what was my first big career pivot. But I’ll tell you, yeah. Jules (09:54) Wow. So tell us, what prompted the pivot first? What had happened that you decided you didn’t want to keep going at the bank? Kelly Resendez (10:16) Yeah! Well, the first thing that I would say is that in 2004, I had my spiritual awakening and it came from my mom getting diagnosed with dementia at a very young age. I lost my grandmother from cancer and then I had my daughter right around that same time. And one of the things that I will tell your listeners is that when you hear that statement, when the student is ready, the teacher appears. Jules (10:26) Okay. Right. Yeah. Yes! Kelly Resendez (10:49) That has been the common thread in my life. first book, the first book that I read that just absolutely changed everything was Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle because I had never ever heard before that I was not my thoughts. And what I really realized was that I wasn’t my brain either and that there was some deeper part of me that existed. And so over the last 21 years, I’ve really been in Jules (10:52) Okay. Right. Kelly Resendez (11:17) in this consciousness space doing the work, you know, just improving my self-awareness and the impact that I make. And through that journey, you know, I stayed in mortgage for, you know, about seven years after that. And, you know, I had created a lot of worldly success, which meant I also had a lot of, you know, worldly expenses too. And so mortgage served me very well. And so I always had that tug, that soul. Jules (11:32) Right. Right. ⁓ Kelly Resendez (11:47) you know, that soul’s cry for more, like, you you need to make a bigger impact, there are things that you need to do, and so in doing that, I recognized that I wasn’t really living in my purpose, although I was making a difference, and I was speaking already, you know, I was already teaching people how to, you know, I would say… Jules (12:08) around finance, was it, around finance and property at that stage? No. Kelly Resendez (12:10) No, no, to be honest, I was teaching people, even though I was in finance, I was teaching people that who they were being was just as important as what they were doing. So I was already in kind of the energy work of like, hey, how you vibrate is gonna create the success that you attract into your life. And I taught a lot of business strategy as well. But that really got me to this place where I was an authority. Jules (12:17) Yeah. right message. Yeah. Kelly Resendez (12:40) in the industry and it opened up a door to become an executive at a company that was scaling quite considerably at that time in 2011. And so for the last four, yeah. Jules (12:45) Right. What kind of a company was that? I’m interested in the actual journey and the different things that kind of happen in life to end up where you are now. yeah. ⁓ Kelly Resendez (12:55) Yeah! Well, we had a mortgage division. so initially, I went over as an executive and helped run our mortgage division. But over time, we actually had moved into the consumer finance space. So we’re the largest solar financing company in the United States. And we do home improvement financing. Yep. Yep. For residential solar panels. And our mission was to increase sustainability. Jules (13:20) so solar panels this is ⁓ Kelly Resendez (13:29) and I’m all about world positivity. Like it better be good for the people or the planet and it needs to impact both. And so over the last 14 and a half years, you we scaled from about a hundred employees to 1500, you know, to a multi-billion dollar company. I recently just semi-retired. I’m still a strategic advisor there and, you know. Jules (13:30) Yep. Wow. Kelly Resendez (13:53) will always be, because it is like my family and being a part of growing that company and running multiple divisions has really allowed me to kind of take that expertise into other businesses simultaneously. Jules (13:57) Right. Okay, so then talk to me about GoBundance and how that came about and then we’ll move on to Minerva. But yeah, how did you, because I’ve interviewed Mandy for this podcast series as well, so people will be able to listen to her story. But tell me about how you and Mandy connected and how you ended up getting involved in that. Kelly Resendez (14:12) Yeah! Yes! Yeah, honestly, GoBundance, because we had built GoBundance before Mandy came into the picture. so, yeah, one of the big reasons why I was seeking out a mastermind initially was extreme loneliness, to be honest. Yep. And so I started to look around and I was trying to learn how to be lonely. Jules (14:36) Right. which is a classic for so many women who are running businesses, I think. Kelly Resendez (14:58) And somehow I forgot that I was the creator of my own reality. And so instead of finding something else, we built it. And so our other business partner, Kathy and I, and amongst a few others, just put together amazing women that also felt that same way, that they wanted to grow their businesses, but they didn’t want to sacrifice their health, their relationships, their finances, or anything else as a result of that. And then met Mandy through that journey and… Jules (15:00) Aww. Yeah. Kelly Resendez (15:27) talk about just divine partnerships. If there’s one thing that I would tell everybody listening is who you choose to be in business with impacts every other area of your life. So incredibly blessed to have her in my life. We actually co-host a podcast as well. Jules (15:40) No. Yes, which I’m going to be on. have to say I booked myself in for next year. I guess what I’m interested in is why, so it’s explaining to the women who are listening a little bit more about GoBundance and how it works and why you set it up because the loneliness thing, I mean, I’m exactly in your wheelhouse. That’s why I set up She’s the Boss because I think if you’re running an established business, Kelly Resendez (16:54) Yay! Yay! Yeah, absolutely. Jules (17:21) And there’s not a lot of groups out there for an established business when you’re over 45. There’s lots for business moms, there’s lots for startups, but where’s the next level? So it’s something I’m very aligned with. So tell everyone. Kelly Resendez (17:26) you Yeah, so before the mastermind, I had been involved in coaching programs. I had gone to events where like a guru type person would feed into you, but I’d never been in proximity to women that were mentoring one another. And so that’s truly what a mastermind is. It’s the collective wisdom and experience of everyone in the group. And so in GoBundance, you know, we have weekly calls about scaling your business. Jules (17:40) Yep. Right. Yeah. Kelly Resendez (18:06) We do group coaching and then we put women into pods of four to six other women that get to become one another’s board of advisors. So for myself personally, when I stay lonely, it wasn’t because I didn’t have connection. It was because I always felt like I was too much. There are plenty of women out there that fall into the feel like they’re not enough category. That was not me. Jules (18:26) Right? Kelly Resendez (18:31) I was always, I’m like, I’m gonna write another book, I’m gonna speak here, I’m gonna do this, I’m gonna do that. And the majority of people in my life were kinda like, when are you gonna slow down? And I wanted to be surrounded by other women that were more similar to me, that really wanted this next level, this fifth gear, that might be in their life, where most of us all really are. Jules (18:41) Yeah right. Kelly Resendez (18:57) magnetized to success. And we talk about neuroscience and we talk about quantum physics and we talk about, you know, who we’re being as a part of what our success is. And so again, it just really is that elite mastermind community that’s designed to meet women where they are and allow them a safe space. Yeah, a safe space to receive feedback, to celebrate. Jules (18:59) Yeah. and accelerate the scaling. Kelly Resendez (19:24) Right? Because that’s another big part of the loneliness is that you don’t have anybody to tell if you, you know, close a big deal or you get a big check or whatever, you know, whatever that might be because we don’t want to make other people feel like they’re small. And so it’s this weird paradox that we get stuck in. And I think as women, one of the one of the greatest reasons why I believe that we sabotage ourselves is that Jules (19:26) Yeah! people feel smaller. Yeah. Kelly Resendez (19:53) We’re afraid to ask for help. Part of that is, I don’t know who to ask for help. And if you’re a part of a community, then you know, like you’re surrounded with hundreds of other women that might’ve already done something like that. And you can ask them for help. And you can really be able to, you know, get the feedback that you need instead of the opinions. You know, there’s a big difference between feedback and opinions. Jules (20:03) Yeah. Yeah. Kelly Resendez (20:21) And so one thing that we really practice is curiosity. Because I know if you need my feedback, I know you already know the answer. But I am just gonna be there to ask you more questions, to maybe just create some new ideas or things like that for you to be able to determine what the next best step is. Jules (20:42) Yeah. I think that’s brilliant and I think it’s so important as you say that you get to meet peers who are on a similar level so you can celebrate and not have, I think Mandy said it perfectly when she said she’d come home and told her neighbor that she’d bought this apartment block and her neighbor said, well wouldn’t that be nice? And she was like, I need to talk to other women that I can actually, that can relate to that. Okay, ⁓ so when did you set up Go Abundance then? How long ago was that? Kelly Resendez (20:51) Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. 2017. Jules (21:16) okay. So reasonably recent as well. And then tell us now about Minerva. So you’re doing GoBundance and you’re in the mortgage world. How did you pivot out of that one? Kelly Resendez (21:19) Yes. Yeah, so being in FinTech, which I absolutely loved, it was a great experience. Again, that sole pull for you need to make a bigger impact in the world. And quite honestly, it came through getting quiet enough to really see that. So I semi-retired April 1st of 2025 and gave myself a couple months. And I literally, yeah. Jules (21:55) Kelly, sorry, I just, have to laugh and say, I mean, I’m looking at my watch, it’s still 2025, you didn’t retire for very long. But I can understand the wanting to slow down. Kelly Resendez (22:00) Yeah, I know. It was funny because I was dabbling. was like, yeah, I was in curiosity. I knew that I’m still a strategic advisor there. I have GoBundance Women. I have a couple other companies that I have helped advise. And so I definitely have plenty of things to do. I just finished my third book, which is coming out in the spring of 2026 called The Frequency of Abundance. Jules (22:27) Congratulations. Brilliant. Kelly Resendez (22:30) You know, I’ve got another mentorship program and so definitely not a shortage of opportunities, but I kind of took a couple months and went to Europe for a month and got really still. And the one thing that kept coming up for me was that the first half of my life was really about impacting people and the second half of my life needed to focus on fixing broken systems. Jules (22:52) Yeah. Kelly Resendez (22:59) And I believe our healthcare system is broken. Jules (23:05) I believe it is too in America. Just hearing the stories that I hear, forgetting even about that, just the cost involved and that you can’t, if you break your leg and you haven’t got insurance, that kind of blows my mind, know, because we get everything free. Kelly Resendez (23:20) Yeah, but I think when you really look at it, we’ve made such advancements in treatment and we’ve really stopped researching prevention and really dedicating a massive amount of time to prevention. And with my mom’s journey, I dove into neuroscience, I dove into physical wellbeing, I dove into the differences between Western cultures and cultures that… Jules (23:28) Yeah. Right. Kelly Resendez (23:47) you know, consume less animal protein or blue zones, other things. And so I’ve always been really fascinated with the longevity space and then being a patient myself in functional medicine, my paramenopause and menopause journey was a cakewalk in comparison to what other women experience. So only about 7 % of women in the United States are on hormone replacement therapy and the truth is the 100 % of women need to be. Jules (23:57) Yeah. Yeah. should be on it. ⁓ Kelly Resendez (24:17) proven now that this is a longevity, you know, like basically regimen that estrogen is your protector. And so all of the fears, all of the miseducation and research that have been shared, you know, we need to reeducate people about the benefits of really utilizing hormone replacement to optimize your overall wellbeing. And we’ve always looked at it as symptom management. Like when you hear Some of the greatest myths like it causes breast cancer. No, estrogen does not cause breast cancer. It’s how your body’s detoxifying itself of estrogen that might lead to certain things. And then, you know, other myths are just that it is for symptoms. Well, again, estrogen’s your protector. That’s like, we’ve seen a spike in osteoporosis because of the black box warnings. And so I believe wholeheartedly, like, that’s what Minerva’s here to do. Jules (24:52) Yeah. Yep. Kelly Resendez (25:13) Not only do we want to provide telemedicine, but we’ve got a technology coming out for women that’s going to really give them better personalized care on a daily basis. And then we want to become a flywheel for women’s data. And we have very little research or education in the medical industry going towards it. And we’ve got to change that. Jules (25:23) fantastic. Yeah. ⁓ fantastic. Love, love, love what you’re doing. Okay, ⁓ so, is Minerva now going to be, is that your big kind of hairy audacious goal moving forward now? Kelly Resendez (25:44) That’s my big thing. That is my life. Yes. Yes. And you know… Jules (25:48) Fantastic, where do you want to see it go? Like you’re already in 50 states, and obviously one of the things you need to do is get that 7 % to a much higher percentage. My dad was an obstetrician and gynecologist, and told me, I remember telling me about HRT 30 years ago, 20 years ago, and. Kelly Resendez (25:55) Yeah! Okay. It was great 30 years ago! Jules (26:10) And I know, and my mum being on it all the way through, and when I started getting perimenopause, saying to my mum, because you know, they say that with birth and everything else, speak to your mum, because you’ll probably mimic her, and I said, what was your menopause like? And she said, I don’t remember having any symptoms at all. I think it just passed me by. Kelly Resendez (26:26) Yeah, exactly. Yep. No, that’s amazing. No, it’s definitely going to be the main focus. And one of the things that I love about business strategy is that you can own multiple companies and not have maximum involvement in them. But this is the one that I’m going to spend the majority of my time in now. Jules (26:49) Well I absolutely love that. if somebody is listening to this and they love the sound of it, whether they’re in Australia or America, is there a way that people can get involved? Kelly Resendez (26:56) Yeah. Absolutely, know few things number one if they’re in America they can just go to get hormones now That’s our main site for women that are interested in finding out a little bit more about hormone replacement therapy And then for anyone else just Minerva project comm you know our technology will be accessible across the world when it comes out and so you know I missed answering one of your questions, which is what do you really want Minerva to do but Jules (27:07) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Kelly Resendez (27:28) We want tens Jules (27:29) what do want it to do? Kelly Resendez (27:29) of millions of women on our technology that are really utilizing the daily approach to living your best life. A lot of us don’t realize the importance of sleep, nutrition, exercise, meditation, all of the other things that really go along with physical and emotional well-being. so utilizing AI and symptom tracking and really just a lot of data that we would collect from wearables, we’re going to be able to make a lot of great recommendations for women to improve. Jules (28:05) So, you’re, are you specifically with Minerva focusing on menopause, perimenopause, that kind of age group? Or are you taking women through pregnancy as well and that kind of younger? Right. Kelly Resendez (28:12) I would say, yeah. No, I would definitely say for today, it’s that 40 plus crowd. However, one of the major initiatives that I would say is that we need to start testing women’s hormones at a younger age because if women are estrogen dominant, we could do something about that today and we might be able to make a bigger impact. Jules (28:20) Yeah. Younger. Kelly Resendez (28:40) on the long-term breast cancer numbers that are out there. So there’s a lot of pieces to this, but we’re not, you know, we’re really focused more on the paramenopause and menopause. End of life, yeah. Cause you’re pretty much post-menopausal until you leave. Jules (28:51) Yeah, well, it’s incredibly topical at the moment. Yeah, that’s right, that’s right, and boy boy, it’s so good not having periods and not having hot flushes anymore, I can’t even begin to tell you! Kelly Resendez (29:04) my gosh, yes. Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. And you know, one of the things that we didn’t talk about, you know, as far as the cost of not doing something is number one, loss in productivity is huge, you know, in the workplace. Once women do start experiencing some of the challenges. The second piece is the astronomical amount of unnecessary medical intervention. Jules (29:14) Yeah, yeah, talk to me about all of it. Yeah. Kelly Resendez (29:33) So for example, I knew that one of the symptoms of menopause when my estrogen went down could be heart palpitations. So when I got them, I just went back to my functional medicine doctor, we fine-tuned my hormones, and I was great. I have a friend that didn’t know that and ended up in the emergency room twice, then ended up in the cardiologist office over a three-month period of time. Jules (29:42) yeah right ⁓ god. Kelly Resendez (30:01) getting unnecessary testing and whatnot to only have found out that she went into early menopause. And so there are so many things, and then you add in the number of psychiatric challenges that women have in their 40s and 50s, divorces, job loss, et cetera, just all stemming from the fact that we don’t feel like ourselves. And I believe, and this is the name of, Jules (30:09) right Yeah. Kelly Resendez (30:27) ⁓ a new book that’s coming out in the next six months too, a different one that Dr. Betty and I wrote together that’s called Just Right. Like, I believe women need to feel just right. enough with the I don’t feel good enough, I don’t feel great enough, I’m too much, I’m not enough, whatever it might be. Like, how come we can’t just feel just right? And part of this is getting into balance. Jules (30:35) bright Yeah. Wow. Well, you’ve got an amazing mission, but it’s one that we’re all going to benefit from. So I do love it. I’ve got one more question for you. It is not really related. It doesn’t have to be related to business, but a journalist many years ago suggested I ask it and I’ve loved the answers I’ve got. And the question is, is there a quirky fact about you that not everybody knows that you’d be up for sharing? Kelly Resendez (30:59) Yes! Yeah! Okay. Jules (31:20) and it can be anything. I know it’s a good one, isn’t it? It really makes you think. Kelly Resendez (31:20) my goodness. A quirky fact. I’m like trying to think of a quirky one. Holy moly. Yeah. Jules (31:28) I can give you some examples of people who… ⁓ One person who’s a very senior CEO and very successful told me that she’s a ⁓ rev head, what they call a rev head here, so she’s obsessed with cars and on weekends goes off to those kind of car rally things. There was another woman who said, I don’t know if you know the Graham Norton show, but she had been the first person on the big red chair, which is quite a big thing in the UK. Another woman said she didn’t have a belly button. So it can be anything. Kelly Resendez (31:59) my those are all, yeah. You know, I would say that I am a country girl at heart. And so ⁓ I grew up in a small town in California. So hunting and fishing and you know, doing all of the things. And so honestly, like my favorite thing to do, which most people would not not know, is that I love deep sea fishing. And if I am on a boat in the middle of nowhere, Jules (32:06) Yeah, living in New York. Yeah. Kelly Resendez (32:28) I am the happiest person that you could imagine. And so I can go from boardroom to boat like that and just totally make a major transition. So I am, I have a boat myself and I’m on the water a lot and it’s Jules (32:39) Wow, that- Is deep sea fishing like marlin? Is that the kind of fish? my god, so you’re the one who stands on the back of the boat with all the things to hold it because the fish is so huge. Wow, Kelly, there you go. Kelly Resendez (32:47) Yeah, tuna, marlin. mean, there’s rooster fish like all over. Yep. All the things. Yep. And I’ve taken my kids with me since they were born as well. And so my son is definitely he’s right there in the same boat as me ⁓ is like literally. And we just absolutely love it. So part of my part of my journey is always like, how do I align my life? Jules (33:08) Wow. Ha Kelly Resendez (33:15) with some of my hobbies. So I’ll probably be getting a place here in Florida pretty soon where I can do that or Cabo or someplace like that. Jules (33:25) I reckon, but it sounds to me like they should be a trip to Australia and the barrier reef. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re going… I know. We’ll have to talk to Mandy. Maybe there’s some way we can run some retreat together or something. Wouldn’t it be fun? Anyway, okay, Kelly, you have been fabulous. Thank you so, so much for ⁓ doing the interview today and sharing some of the things that you’re going to disrupt. I love it. Kelly Resendez (33:29) I would- I’m in! I am in! ⁓ I would love it. So fun. Mm, I love it too. And I’m just grateful to be here. And I know, you your listeners out there, you can always check out my page at kellyrazendes.com as well. That’s gonna have my new book that’s coming out here in the spring. And hopefully, you know, your listeners will check it out and tap into the frequency of abundance with me, which is, you know, kind of encompasses all of the things that we talked about today. Jules (33:54) you Brilliant. Fantastic, and when the book’s out, do let me know and I’ll let everybody know. I’ll share it to my community. Kelly Resendez (34:21) I will, absolutely. And thank you, because I don’t think that we’re ever going to make any progress until we have more disruptors like yourself standing up and saying, not anymore. Jules (34:35) very true. Thanks so much, Kelly. Kelly Resendez (34:37) Thank you.
