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.

Help This Story Reach the Person Who Needs It

Where the Chaos Couldn’t Follow is more than my memoir. It is the story of surviving childhood abuse, becoming a mother of two before the age of 16, enduring domestic violence and sexual assault, and refusing to allow trauma to write the final chapter of my life.

Statistically, I should not be where I am today. But through faith, healing, perseverance, and purpose, I went from leaving school in the eighth grade to earning my GED—and eventually my Ph.D.

I wrote this book for anyone who has ever wondered whether life can still become beautiful after chaos. I wrote it for survivors who need to know they are not alone, and for those who love them but may not fully understand what healing requires.

As I make one final push for book sales, I am asking for your support. You can help by:

  • Purchasing a copy for yourself or someone who needs encouragement
  • Sharing the book with your friends and family
  • Posting a review if you have already read it
  • Recommending it to a book club, church group, survivor organization, or helping professional

Every purchase, review, and share helps this message reach someone who may need hope today.

My past may have shaped me, but it did not get to keep me. The chaos could not follow me into the life God was preparing for me—and it does not have to follow you either.

Order your copy of Where the Chaos Couldn’t Follow today, and help me remind survivors everywhere that their stories are not over.
