Chelsea Meece is the founder of Be YOUR Best Self (#BYBS) – Virtual Assistance for Small Businesses, a one-stop shop for fractional marketing support for startup and rural businesses. #BYBS began from a personal health journey after Chelsea lost 100 pounds and became a Certified Holistic Health Coach, focusing on self-care. She then spent years helping others create healthier, more sustainable lives.

When COVID hit, coaching quickly became a luxury for many people, and at the same time, small businesses and nonprofits were suddenly trying to figure out how to survive. After being asked to create websites, write, and design for small businesses, Chelsea shifted her focus and started helping entrepreneurs and organizations with the behind-the-scenes work they didn't have the time or resources to do themselves. What began as a pivot turned into a passion by blending both self-care and small business support.

Today, she works with small businesses and nonprofits across rural Colorado and New Mexico, helping them with their websites, social media, email marketing, and content creation. As a Google Certified Digital Marketer, Chelsea believes in making marketing simple for small businesses to be effective and visible online. Through Be YOUR Best Self, she now helps take some of the work off her clients' plates so they can spend more time doing what they love and create space for the self-care they need that often gets pushed aside.
