About Kelly
I’m Kelly Ausiello, the creator of The Truth As I Know It—a writer, educator, former nurse, trader, creator, mother, chronic question-asker, and collector of useful lessons from real life. My work spans books, trading and cannabis education, publishing guidance, videos, creative projects, and the lessons that come from living through things before writing about them.
I write about the things I’ve lived, studied, tested, survived, laughed at, argued with, and occasionally had to learn twice. That might mean explaining what a stock chart is actually doing, helping someone use cannabis more intentionally, walking a new author through publishing a book, or sharing a beautiful place that made the world feel quieter for a while.
The Truth As I Know It is where all of those pieces meet—without pretending there is only one perfect answer.
