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.

My Heart Is Full

There’s something incredibly humbling about hearing from the very first readers of my memoir.

A few of the messages I’ve received have left me speechless:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I couldn’t stop reading. I only got 4 hours of sleep.”

“It’s so good—I couldn’t put it down.”

As an author, those words mean more than I can express.

I’m so grateful for the people who have supported me, encouraged me, and believed in this story long before it became a book. Most of all, I’m thankful to God for bringing me through the fire—not just so I could survive it, but so I could help others find hope in the middle of theirs.

My prayer is that Where the Chaos Couldn’t Follow is more than a memoir. I hope it’s a reminder that your past does not have to define your future, that healing is possible, and that the dreams God has placed on your heart are worth fighting for.

If there’s one thing I hope every reader walks away with, it’s this:

Never stop fighting for the life you were created to live.

Thank you to everyone who has read, shared, encouraged, and supported this journey. This is only the beginning. ❤️
