“It is wise to believe something wonderful

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.

Holidays

When the holidays come around as a kid it’s exciting. The house feels warmer, we see friends and family, we give and receive and we eat. As adults we’re rushed and reminded of all the things we can’t do or we can’t buy. We try to give our children a “good Christmas” but sometimes we are left feeling like it’s never enough. To be honest I think we’ve lost the meaning of Christmas all together. Shopping and buying and rushing to get the last item causes stress, discontent and aggravation. Joy! Joy and Jesus! I want to encourage you to find your joy this holiday. Whatever that looks like! A cup of hot cocos and some childhood memories maybe! Sitting in silence just enjoying the lights and ambience of the Christmas tree. But whatever it is, find that this holiday season and hold onto it.
