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.

Trauma to Triumph

If there were a biography about you, what would the title be?

I know it’s cliché, but it’s the truth, and honestly the best way to describe my life. Although there is still so many things that I want to accomplish and so many things that I wanna do statistically, I’ve already beat the odds and have crushed barriers that were in front of me and broken, generational curses.

First broken barrier…2016 AS in Criminal Justice.

For example, I dropped out of school at the end of eighth grade was pregnant with my second child and today at 43. I am preparing to defend my dissertation for my PhD. I’m using my trauma and my experiences my assault my abuse, my endurance to inspire and help others to change the legal system to advocate for victim rights, and to show that God‘s love is always there when you need it you just need to draw near to him. Stay tuned!
