(Jeong Family)-Kelsey is now 65 years old.<\/p>\n

Following her difficult divorce from Jin, Kelsey struggled for a while but eventually found a niche for herself by creating an online craft supplies company. The company expanded into digital products and services and became very successful. <\/p>\n

At this point, Kelsey works few hours, as she has hired people to work for her and run the day-to-day operations of the company. Kelsey remains the CEO but enjoys a lifestyle she calls \u201cevery person\u2019s dream\u201d\u2014she travels frequently and remains very active. In fact, she is training for a masters sprint triathlon, about which she is very excited. She shares that just this past weekend she learned how to surf with her \u201cnew beau.\u201d<\/p>\n

She sighs a bit at this last part, and the mood turns sullen. Kelsey shares that she has been having conflicts with her daughters recently, as they do not approve of her \u201clifestyle.\u201d The girls do not think it\u2019s \u201cproper\u201d for her mother to date much younger men or to be \u201cglobetrotting\u201d around all the time. They have told Kelsey that she pushes herself too hard and does not take proper care of her body.<\/p>\n

Kelsey denies this and tells you, \u201cYes, I know my bones are a bit brittle and my joints a bit weak, and maybe my eyesight isn\u2019t what it used to be\u2026but I am going to live life while I still have it!\u201d <\/p>\n

She is disappointed that her girls do not understand this and wishes they were more supportive. Kelsey also shares that the girls don\u2019t seem to judge their father, who at 68 is coaching his 10-year-old son\u2019s soccer team (\u201cCan you believe that?\u201d she asks rhetorically, \u201cHis grandkids are older than his son!!\u201d). <\/p>\n

Kesley also shares with you that she enjoys a very active sex life, which her daughters think is appalling (\u201cI think they are jealous!\u201d she says). Kelsey does admit that she has a few concerns in the relationship arena, including how to maintain her sex drive and how to compensate for some of the biological changes she has experienced without \u201ckilling the mood.\u201d<\/p>\n

You continue to gather information about Kelsey\u2019s present concerns and experiences and ask her what she specifically wants you to help her with. She responds, \u201cI want to figure out how to make my girls respect me, my choices, and my life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
