Having left her last job due to health issues caused by stress and lack of satisfaction, Kelly decided to expand on her activism by sharing a solution that calmed her racing mind: MindlessnessX. While dabbling in meditation and mindfulness, her ability to maintain focus was limited to about 30 seconds. There had to be a better way, a way for anyone to achieve calm without overloading cognitive skillset or abilities.

To some, people engaged in mindfulness appear to be wasting time, as if they are behaving mindlessnessly. You're not supposed to think during the sessions, right?? Becoming obsessed with crosswords and jigsaw puzzles, the realization hit her: these activities are mindless but with a goal, and require using your brain. Why not make a method of the concept and share with others?

Currently she is building a platform and putting together a nonfiction book proposal. Follow her on various social media applications for more information.
