Kellie Lunsford of Reynoldstown/Edgewood on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We recently had the chance to connect with Kellie Lunsford and have shared our conversation below.

Kellie, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: When was the last time you felt true joy?
I feel joy throughout my day.. I was told once about how people can be triggered by things that are negative but what if we focused on little micro moments that bring us joy? They are called “Glimmers”… I started focusing on Glimmers and the more glimmers I experienced the more glimmers came my way throughout my day..

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am a hairstylist that Specializes in only hair color..I’ve been doing it for over 25 years. I worked for a high end salon for 17years and took a risk and went out on my own and have been successfully running my own business for 14years..I worked with every client to find the right color that compliments their lifestyle and also works for their budget.. It’s so important to me to make every service a place to relax and feel comfortable to connect with me..

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who taught you the most about work?
My mom taught me .. My mom was trained chef in a very male dominated world and she had to prove over and over again that she deserved to be there.. Everything she did was with passion and grit.. and showed me that if you love what you do you will succeed.. My mom felt that her food was healing and I also feel that I am a healer in what I do. I heal people with being a place to talk, feel beautiful and confident when they walk out of my salon. So my mom taught me everything about drive, passion and creativity

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
You are enough .. You are bright, compassionate, and extremely intuitive.. you bring so much light into a room and not to hide in the corner.. let your light shine bright and not be scared to be seen

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What’s a belief you used to hold tightly but now think was naive or wrong?
I use to believe you had to really hustle and be constantly grinding.. and now I realize that moments of just sitting and being present and allowing more of a flow allows more abundance to come in.. You don’t have to work hard all the time to have value .. it’s about enjoying life and doing what you love .

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: When do you feel most at peace?
I feel my most at peace when I feel I have purpose and I know I have inspired someone else.. I really enjoy being with my three dogs listening to music or sitting in my backyard listening to the sounds of the birds and nature all around me.
