The strategist behind The Out Beyond
Founder of The Out Beyond
Kellyn Bechtold is not your typical business strategist, and The Out Beyond is not your typical coaching practice. She’s a career renegade, a strategic disruptor, and a guide for heart-led entrepreneurs who refuse to settle for work that drains their soul.
Her career path is anything but linear. Kellyn has worked in high-level operations for CEOs, led cross-industry strategy in private equity portfolio companies, and tested her adaptability as a contestant on Survivor: Ghost Island (CBS). She holds an MBA, MPH, and is a Certified Wayfinder Life Coach through Martha Beck.
Blending strategic precision with deep human insight, Kellyn helps clients design businesses from the inside out (instead of the outside in).
Her approach is built on self-inquiry, personal transformation work, Human Design, and years of experience solving complex business challenges. The result: a business that’s both functional and fulfilling, designed to support the life you actually want to live.
This isn’t about rigid plans or chasing endless growth for growth’s sake. It’s about building work that feels like home. Where you can thrive, make an impact, and create wealth on your own terms. At The Out Beyond, Kellyn partners with creative entrepreneurs and small business owners who want to succeed without selling their souls to hustle culture. Her clients know they can count on her to see the whole picture, cut through the noise, and chart a path that’s truly theirs.
From private equity boardrooms to remote islands, Kellyn Bechtold has navigated high-stakes strategy, personal reinvention, and the art of building a business that feels like home.
Meet Kellyn Bechtold
I believe in the both/and, not the either/or.
Finding a life you love isn't about good or bad, strong or weak.
Because we were born for a kaleidoscopic life.
Where Strategy Meets Soul, Magic Happens
Transformations that speak for themselves
Rachel replaced her former full-time income within three months while experiencing unprecedented clarity: "I've never felt more calm, confident, and clear than I have in my whole life."
"The decisions I've made within The Out Beyond have helped me grow my company with confidence. Kellyn's way of breaking down complex problems has relieved stress and built confidence."
The path that led me here
After a dozen years at corporate work, my body called the meeting my mind had been avoiding. I was supposed to be on vacation, but instead I was lying on the bathroom floor, sick and exhausted, closing out a high pressure acquisition deal in private equity. That was the moment I knew I could not continue this out of integrity lifestyle.
I walked away from the career that had consumed me and eventually trained in Martha Beck’s Wayfinder Life Coach method.
Since then, I have been blending the two worlds I know best: strategic operations from years in high stakes leadership roles, and the inner clarity that comes from a life steeped in Wayfinding, Human Design, self-inquiry, and personal transformation work.
Now, I bring both to my clients, the business blueprints and systems that create sustainable success, and the intuitive awareness to ensure that success actually feels good to live in.
Practical Changes, Magical Results
"From the moment we first met, Kellyn ‘just got me.’ I cried reading my Session One Business Plan — it was so spot on that I felt seen, heard, and valued. I’m more clear on my purpose and more confident in my decisions."
When I spent seven weeks on Survivor, I lived without food, shelter, or comfort — and yet I was happier than I’d been in years. Out there, I made myself a promise: I would never wake up seven Mondays in a row miserable. If I did, I’d leave.
That experience cemented what I know now to be true in business and in life… you don’t have to stay where you’re uncomfortable or unhappy. You can choose differently.
