About Kelley J Bell
LIFE COACH - SPEAKER - AUTHOR
I am a daughter of God, wife of 17 years to my loving husband, mother of four enjoyable boys, entrepreneur, Elder, Family Consultant, Certified Life Coach, and Educator.
I listed many roles, but each role has given me the experience, wisdom, and knowledge needed so I can help others successfully navigate their journeys of marriage, motherhood, and kingdom purpose.
Here is my whole story...
Many of my friends call me "Kells," and I am a native of Cleveland, Ohio. I moved to Orlando, Florida, with my family during high school. After completing high school, I continued my love of learning by receiving a Bachelor's of Science in Music Education from Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University, a Master's of Art in Christian Studies from Luther Rice Seminary, a Master's of Art in Teaching, and Learning with a concentration in Educational Leadership from Liberty University, and a Life Coach Certification from Universal Coach Institute. I am also a Kingdom School of Ministry graduate founded by Dr. Cindy Trimm.
Why do you want to help women in the Kingdom of God?
I take much pride in being a daughter of God. As far back as I can remember, I strongly desired to be used by God. As a young girl, I would tell God, "You can use me!". Being born and raised in the church allowed me to learn about Him. Still, it was not until I learned the importance of having a personal relationship with Him and developing a Kingdom perspective that my life truly changed.
As I got older, I noticed women's challenges and how hard it was to get authentic and practical support from others. I needed help managing my daily responsibilities while walking in my Kingdom authority. So, I started on a journey with God to learn how to live life abundantly while balancing my responsibilities. As He shows me how to do it, I am committed to showing other women they can do it, too!
Why do you want to help wives?
Seven years into my marriage, I faced the harsh reality that I was not as good a wife as I thought. As I searched for guidance from other Christian women, they were either not authentic in their advice, did not give good advice, or just told me to read scriptures from the Bible or to pray. I believe in the power of prayer, but I also knew I must combine my faith with work.
Those feelings pushed me to do whatever it took to create a thriving marriage. I told God that if He showed me how to create a marriage based on His intentions, I would help other women. So, I started a journey with God that changed my life and marriage! I never imagined that learning how to be a wife that resembled God's love would draw me closer to God the way that it did. Marriage still matters to God, and I want to help you with yours!
Why do you want to help mothers?
Navigating motherhood was initially challenging for me as a mother of four boys; however, I was fortunate to have a great example of motherhood from watching my mom raise me and my siblings. Some women do not have a positive relationship with their mothers or do not like their mothers' example. Other women try their best to balance motherhood with their other responsibilities.
I learned how to meet my children's individual needs, set appropriate boundaries, create systems, create balance, and guide them (as best as I can) on their kingdom journey. Most importantly, I built amazing and unique relationships with them. Simply stated, I love being a mom! Many women love being mothers, but they want and need nonjudgmental support to guide them along the way. Being a good mom is not about being perfect but about being present.
