Welcome to Surviving with Dr. Chrissie — a space where truth meets healing and survival turns into purpose. I created this platform to give voice to the stories we’re often told to silence — the ones shaped by trauma, resilience, faith, and the long road to becoming whole again. Here, we talk about real life: the hard days, the messy healing, and the moments of grace that remind us we’re still standing. Through honest conversations, survivor stories, and a little bit of humor and hope, Surviving with Dr. Chrissie is more than a podcast or a blog — it’s a community. Because surviving isn’t the end of the story; it’s where the rebuilding begins.

The Now!

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

There is so much uncertainty today. Everyone is just trying to get by. The rat race we call it. We want more or need more to live comfortably but what I have learned is that if you aren’t ok with you, then what you have doesn’t matter. I wished and prayed to God for the life I have now. A family, a home, a career and health and healing from PTSD,anxiety. To be able to take vacations and explore the amazing earth God created. To wake up and do the simple task of making a cup of coffee without a knot in my stomach of what’s going to happen today! But lately I’ve wanted more. It has made me realize that we never actually reach the top! We need to be ok with where we are. Who we are. I am not sure if I am where I thought I’d be a year ago but I know I am not where I thought I’d be 5 years ago! It’s even better and I am learning, slowly to sit in the present and enjoy the now! Be grateful for the now!
