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.

Your Story Still Matters

For a long time, I thought survival meant staying quiet—keeping the hard parts tucked away so life could keep moving. But healing doesn’t grow in silence. It grows in being seen, heard, and believed.

This space exists for survivors who have stories that matter—even if they don’t yet know how to tell them. You don’t need the perfect words. You don’t need to be “fully healed.” You just need to show up as you are.

Sharing your story isn’t about reopening wounds. It’s about taking your power back. It’s about connection. It’s about realizing that what happened to you does not define you—but your courage does.

Whether you choose to share publicly, anonymously, or simply read the words of others and recognize yourself in them, you belong here. This is a community built on honesty, compassion, and hope.

You are not alone.
Your voice matters.
And your story still deserves to be told.
