Episode 5: Sanctuary in the Fire with Chelsea Brown

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down for a conversation that weaves together the tender threads of becoming a life coach, building a marriage as a queer couple with a trans partner, and parenting through one of the most heartbreaking experiences a family can face—a child’s leukemia diagnosis. This is a story of resilience. Of choosing love again and again. Of navigating trauma, illness, identity, and hope—without a roadmap. We talk about: How the path to life coaching began with personal unraveling and redefinition What it means to build a trans-affirming, spiritually grounded marriage How our family endured the long nights and quiet faith of caring for a child with cancer The power of healing work—for ourselves, and others And how grace found us not in perfection, but in presence. Whether you're navigating your own transformation, parenting through the unknown, or simply longing for a story that makes room for complexity and joy, this episode offers a space to breathe and believe again.
