Kelley Wolf
- Actress
Kelley Wolf is a globally-recognized certified life & personal development coach, author, public speaker and thought leader. Her unique discovery and integration of her trademarked concept of FLOW - Finding Love Over Worry(TM) has led to her highly-anticipated debut book which breaks down the framework of the self-developmental process, FLOW: Finding Love Over Worry: A Recipe for Living Joyfully.
Kelley grew up as a well-traveled archeologist's daughter in the beautiful hills of Northwest Arkansas and later went to high school in Cambridge, England. After high school, Kelley pursued a degree in Broadcast Journalism until she was presented with an opportunity to be on television. She was cast on the groundbreaking hit MTV series, The Real World: New Orleans and went on to win the Real World/ Road Rules Challenge which led her to New York City, where she met her husband, actor Scott Wolf. Kelley was lucky to find a fellow adventurer in Scott because over the course of their 17-year marriage, the couple has moved more than 20 times to multiple countries.
In 2007, after moving from Los Angeles to Park City, Utah, she followed her natural curiosity of the human condition and pursued a B.S. in Clinical Psychology from Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah. Upon graduation, she was clear her passion was in the burgeoning world of personal development coaching. Kelley believed her abilities were better as a coach than a therapist, so she signed up for Martha Beck's program, where she was certified as a life coach. In the decade that followed, Kelley became a sought-after life coach. Her client list included high profile clients such as leaders of Fortune 100 companies, C-level executives, but also small business owners, stay-at-home moms, and nonprofits, among others searching for peace in their life.
After five years of coaching experience under her belt, Kelley turned her awareness to a process commonly referred to by people as their "flow state". As Kelley began tracking the moments people referred to "being in flow", she soon discovered that a pattern emerged. If someone chose love over worry or fear, they entered their 'flow' state. Her theory seemed especially true whenever people would focus on their hobbies such as surfing, cooking or painting. The circumstances didn't matter as long as the mind made the choice to pursue love as the guide, instead of fear as a motivator.
Kelley soon began to incorporate this practice of FLOW into her own life and was amazed to find the practice offered relief to her postpartum depression and in dealing with her diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, known as EDS. She spent the next five years of her career teaching, cultivating and examining FLOW as a replicable methodology, which she used in her practice to help hundreds of individuals and companies challenge their own thoughts and change their behavior patterns.
In 2020, Kelley launched her podcast, FLOW: Finding Love Over Worry. The podcast offers strategies and interviews that examine various methods and techniques to teach the mind how to live in a state of FLOW more often. When understood and used properly, it is a technique everyone can use to lessen their suffering through life to live more joyfully. Now, with her debut book release, she hopes to continue to help others through their use of this methodology.
Over the years, together with her husband Scott, Kelley has also committed much of her time to philanthropy. In fact, a huge component of the FLOW method is mapped out in her tool called "The Circles of Service" which is built around a concept that guides you towards the power of a service-driven life. Kelley shares, "All the great teachings came to the same conclusion-when we pursue a life of growth, we must also open ourselves to the power of service." Kelley lives her practice and has visited many nations globally to provide aid and care. However, above all, Kelley has connected deeply to Africa, which inspired her to co-create The Chier Foundation in 2005. The non-profit organization's mission was to fund education for Sudanese refugees, known as the "Lost Boys of Sudan" and the Foundation successfully completed its mission in 2015. Since then, Kelley's charitable efforts have never stopped. She has visited various areas in Africa (Senegal, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and South Africa) to help with causes around HIV intervention and malaria. Additionally, Kelley has regularly worked with Feeding America, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation and Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. Kelley believes that being in service is far more impactful and simple than most people think. No matter where she is in the world, she finds a way to give back to that community, and believes that helping a senior neighbor with their groceries and taking soup to a sick friend is not only philanthropic, but a simple way for people to do what they can to give back to others.
Outside of her coaching work, Kelley is also an advocate of the importance of accessible meditation and mindfulness. As one of the core three foundations in her book: Munch, Move, Meditate, she hopes to shift the belief that meditation is costly, difficult, or needs training.
Kelley lives in Vancouver, British Columbia with her husband and three children-Jackson, Miller, and Lucy.
