What They Taught Me is a beautifully engaging guide on how to learn from the wisdom of those who have traveled the path before us. In a time where many of us are longing for deeper and more meaningful connections, this book will help you realize that it s still possible. Kelsey Chapman s storytelling and applicable steps will help you realize the value and power of mentorship.
- Morgan Harper Nichols | poet and artist
Kelsey s journey with the mentors in her life shows us that eventually as we grow and expand, we all become the mentors at one point. This book is a refreshing and healing reminder of the hard and the beautiful that shapes our becoming into the people God has orchestrated us to become. Being able to walk through and with Kelsey s healing and her pain was the beautiful remembering of the connectedness we have as women that is often threatened. Kelsey s words remind us that there is healing in togetherness and allows us the graceful permission to reflect on the what they taught me lessons from our own lives and how they shaped who we are today.
- Arielle Estoria | poet, author, speaker
In What They Taught Me , Kelsey speaks with honesty and vulnerability, something we all benefit from when it comes to sitting at the feet of others who have something to teach us. Her insight and wisdom woven through each page prove to be a rich blessing for anyone ready to live a life of wholeness, purpose, and joy.
- Tiffany Bluhm | author of She Dreams and cohost of the Why Tho podcast
Kelsey is one of the most generous women I have ever met. She oozes wisdom and leadership, and her work is both accessible and worthy of investment. What They Taught Me is a powerful reflection on the village that raises us-the people who decide to love us through difficulty, who show up to lift us up, and who teach us to give to others as they have given to us. Mentorship often lacks clarity and boundaries, directives and care, but Kelsey clarifies practical steps, wisdom for relating, and the right balance of personal connection and excellence necessary to seek mentorship-and to provide it as well. I want to give a copy of this to every young woman in my life, and you will absolutely be encouraged to do the same.
- Ashley Abercrombie | author of Rise of the Truth Teller , speaker and host of the Why Tho podcast
Kelsey is a mentor for a new generation of young women craving both success and impact. What They Taught Me is a must-have resource and inspirational guide to not pursuing your dreams all by yourself. It s a must-read for entrepreneurs, grads, and anyone ready to turn their dreams into reality.
- Anne Samoilov | podcast host, business strategist, author
One of my favorite quotes ever is this: If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader (John Quincy Adams). Most people wonder if they even are capable of mentoring, but the reality is we all do in some shape, form, or fashion. Whether you are a reluctant or ecstatic mentor, within What They Taught Me , you ll see Kelsey dive deep into this thought of being a leader/mentor with intentionality and consideration for others. It s a book I personally will underline, highlight, and return to often. Love it!
- Candace Payne | author, speaker, joy evangelist

To my mom-
Thank you for being the best role model I could ask for.
And at the same time,
thank you for allowing space for other women to step in
so I could double up on wisdom.
That is the real lesson here.
To my mentors-
Thank you for so generously investing in me,
for passing along the wisdom you gained the long and hard way,
and for allowing me to shortcut the distance to a full and free life
because of your willingness to open up yourselves to me.
And to my Young Life girls-
Thank you for entrusting the most sacred places of your lives to me.
I m forever changed because of each of you.
Thank you for showing me how to love sacrificially.
To My Parents
Before I go on to honor the women who have taught me as mentors in the chapters to come, I want to begin by honoring my parents. Without their limitless belief in me, I would not be who I am today.
Mom and Dad, thank you for believing in me and continuously reminding me that it s not the sky s the limit ; it s more like there are no limits . Thank you for teaching me to believe I can do anything.
Dad, you championed me as a daughter could only hope her daddy would. You taught me how to work hard and have fun along the way. Our 4,672 nights watching 101 Dalmatians were probably not the most fun for you, especially before smartphones were invented, but your constant presence and love in my life have never gone unnoticed.
Mom, my greatest gift is that you are my mother. Because of you, I am who I am today. You taught me how to achieve my dreams, showing me what it means to be a strong, powerful woman with no dream too big. You showed me how to be a woman with a drive and passion that can be funneled into a career she loves. Thank you for showing me that I am capable. By seeing you rise to the top in your career, even amid major setbacks, you ve shown me I can too.
At the same time, thank you for never presuming to have it all figured out. Thank you for creating space for other women to step in as guides for me. Thank you for never instilling in me the belief that moms are the only women who can invest in the next generation. When I step into motherhood myself in the years to come, you will have already helped take the pressure off; I ll know other women will come alongside my daughter and help instill wisdom in her at just the right time. And I hope to parent her with the openhandedness with which you have parented me.
Thank you for never competing with my mentors because you understood what parenting with open arms looks like. You understood that other women speaking into my life didn t detract from your success as a mother but created an environment for me to learn, grow, and thrive. And while there have been seasons where we both felt that you weren t getting it right and these other women were playing a larger role than you, we were wrong; no one has played a larger role in my life than you. You were and are just the mother I needed.
Lastly, thank you for teaching me that there is always room for healing. You and I have been on a quest toward healing for the better part of our lives. We weren t dealt the easiest cards, and it s taken an incredible amount of work to get here, but you ve shown me that healing is possible.
