Who f* does she think she is? ... about me and what to expect from this blog.

Hello there friend! Dr Chelsie here! 

Oof that title eh? (P.s. I love Jesus but I do throw the occasional well placed cuss word in here for some extra oomph 🤪)  But, have you heard that phrase before? Feared it? Or even said it to yourself? Or another person...

"Who the f*** does she think she is?"  

Well friend, that was me...to be quite honest it still is sometimes as I am certainly always a work in progress and continuing to grow. But, I would constantly think to myself, "Who the heck do I think I am to ______" Insert any uncomfy thing in that blank spot. From asking for help, to taking the leap of entrepreneurship and CEO life, to diving into the health, wellness and functional medicine coaching world. I would constantly compare myself, doubt myself, tell myself that sentence and then retreat to the comfy spot I was in, always knowing God had more for me past that, but not knowing how to get there.   

I believe that we continue to grow in mind, body and soul into the person we are to become each and every day based on the intention that we give it, what we fill our minds with, our hearts with, surround ourselves with, put in our bodies, let take hold of us etc. I also believe that we can share what we learn through growth to teach, guide and help others to do that for themselves too and that is what I hope for you. So, my dearest friend, what you can expect from this blog page will be from me sharing those raw personal learning moments with you to articles on wellness tips, functional medicine, biohacking, recipes, and sprinkles of motherhood, faith and just silly fun. 

Past me, NEVER would have shown all of you this more bold but vulnerable side. Growing up, and honestly into adulthood, I often found myself sitting on the sidelines wondering why I wasn’t like everybody else. After struggling to feel like I genuinely belonged for most of my life, I decided it was time to break free from my limitations and step into the person I was always meant to be, who God was leading me to be — confident and FREE to live the life I’ve always imagined that He so intricately plans for me.

Now not only was I struggling with those feelings of not belonging, which is exhausting mentally by itself, but throwing in being a mom and entrepreneur…that was a new level unlocked I did not know was possible that felt a lot like this:

Juggling all of it, I have hit burnout more times than I really care to admit. Then 2017 happened. A year of major life events on two completely different spectrums of emotion, a marriage and a loss.  After losing my mother in 2017 to stomach cancer, which was quite fast (April 17' diagnosis, got married June 17' and heaven welcomed her Sept 17') everything began piling up both emotionally, mentally and physically however I finally started to say enough is enough. That journey, which looks a lot like this...

...has since catapulted me into the health, wellness, self care and biohacking world alongside being a chiro and functional medicine practitioner and now coaching other women to not only step into who they can be and are but also be their healthiest most energetic selves! Teaching others to take control of their own health & vitality, kick that burnout to the curb, amp up their energy, and take back their time so they can feel radiating confidence and live their most vibrant life possible!

I'll admit, post kids, burnout and trying to figure out who I was past motherhood and my body hit me like a freight train. With two young kids and a rising chiropractic business I had still completely lost myself… more than a few times.  I was struggling and alone but KNEW I was made for more and wanted the booming career life AND the rocking relationships life, and tried endlessly to get there. And my health and body were suffering for it. 

I was stuck on the wheel of constant comparison, dislike of my own body, and envy that other moms seemed to just "have it all together". Remember... "who the f**do you think you are?". Until quite a while back, when I found myself sobbing in my office from just absolute overwhelm, I again had to say thats it! (its a journey right?)

I have always believed in and was passionate about health coming from within . . . but holy moly what a slap in the face when you KNOW what you SHOULD be doing.. And aren't.  But when I figured out a plan, gave myself grace, and did what I should be doing one step at a time, I had never felt more alive and radiant! I finally had my groove back, was HAPPIER around my kids and my husband and THRIVING and now I am passionate about making it as easy and simple as possible for the women and mamas who’ve come after me to have the same success and abundance.  

"I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14

Friend, remember, the body is a unique and wonderfully COMPLEX system. God made all the delicate, inner parts of your body and His craftsmanship in forming and designing us as human beings is awe-inspiring and extraordinary and amazes me every day. . . . but that doesn’t mean you need to overcomplicate supporting it and flourishing in optimal health! 

Now, before I ramble for ages and this becomes a book… I will leave you with this to think about.

Remember even your weaknesses are fearfully and wonderfully made…and whether you always feel it or not, you can trust God and His plans for your life.

Ooof right? Even your WEAKNESSES. 

Well, I have SO much to share with you and cannot wait to get to know you, through this blog and gosh maybe even working 1:1 with you soon. But, if you're up for it already, I also have a community of women already and one way for us to start getting to know each other with no obligations whatsoever. Plus, you get community, info and fun and motivation and it all starts in my free group Rooted, Wyld and WELLthy with Dr Chelsie.

I’d love for you to join me there where I’ll share insights, let you know when new blogs are up, coffee talk and tips on how you can root yourself in some of the small real life foundations needed to flourish in health and get YOU back to your most vibrant self again!
 

Just fill out the form on at the bottom of this page or on the homepage which includes a freebie (and who doesn't love that)!!

See you on the inside! 

Blessings in Health, 

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for uniquely, fearfully and wonderfully creating each of us. Thank You for giving us worth in Your eyes. Give us the strength and courage to ask for your help and the humility to allow it to happen when we feel our way is better as we know Your path is always greater. Continue to help guide us in continuing to be who You made us each uniquely to be. Help us continue to go forth boldly and to obey you and thrive instead of only survive, helping us to live with peace and joy.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
