Kelsey Kamerman is a writer, stay-at-home mom, and Co-leader at Radiant Life Omaha, a pediatric chiropractic office in Omaha, Nebraska, helping families reach their health potential. She's the author of Dating Stupid, a faith-based book on relationships, identity, and healing from generational trauma. Formerly a cosmetologist, Kelsey shares her journey from a "party girl" to embracing God's grace, inspiring others to find redemption and wholeness. Her work encourages parents, singles, and anyone seeking to break generational cycles and discover their identity in Christ.

The patterns we inherit don't always announce themselves. Sometimes they show up quietly in the way we chase approval, settle for less than we deserve, or confuse performance with love. What if the cycles you've been repeating weren't meant to define you, and what if freedom starts with reclaiming who you are meant to be?

For Kelsey Kamerman, the answer begins with identity. She believes that breaking generational cycles requires shifting where we place our worth, moving it away from relationships, performance, or family expectations and rooting it firmly in God. She explains how growing up feeling the need to earn love shaped her dating choices, emotional boundaries, and even how she viewed God as a Father. Over time, she realized that healing didn't come from trying harder or fixing herself, but from letting God redefine who she already was.

In this episode of the Align & Abide podcast, Dr. Kim Tran is joined by Kelsey Kamerman, author of Dating Stupid, to discuss breaking generational cycles by finding your identity in God. They explore how family dynamics shape future relationships, why knowing your God-given worth changes the way you date and parent, and how healing past wounds can stop unhealthy patterns from being passed down. Kelsey also shares insight on building relationships rooted in freedom rather than performance.
