71. The R Factor with Heather Verity, CEO of Focus 3 & Author of The R Factor

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Kelsey sits down with Heather Varity—CEO of Focus 3 and author of The R Factor—to explore the story behind the woman, leader, and mission. Heather shares how she rose from an unstable childhood, financial hardship, a near-death experience, and one of the darkest seasons of her life to build a life rooted in purpose, strength, and service. She reveals how a wake-up call at 3:33 a.m. led her to ask, “What if I bought Focus 3?”—and why she chose to say yes before knowing how it would happen. Together, Kelsey and Heather unpack what it means to recognize the nudges placed on your heart, create enough stillness to hear them, choose faith over fear, and take the first step before the entire staircase appears. This episode is a reminder that your past does not disqualify you, your lowest moment does not have to be your final chapter, and everything can change when you stop asking, “Why me?” and begin asking, “Why not me?” To connect with Heather: -Visit focus3.com -Follow @focus3team on social media -Purchase the R Factor on Amazon To connect with Kelsey: -Join our XYL Summer Book Club: https://xpandyourlimit.com/bookclub -Join the One Degree Newsletter: ⁠https://xpandyourlimit.com/theonedegree⁠ -Follow Kelsey on socials: @kelseylensman Visit Xpand Your Limits:- Join events and coaching at xpandyourlimit.com -Follow XYL on socials @xpandyourlimits -Follow Seek the Edge Podcast on socials @seektheedgepod
