Hey there, I’m Chelsie And it’s been a hot se Hey there, I’m Chelsie

And it’s been a hot second since I intentionally showed my face here and shared what the heck I try to do in the space. So hi. Here’s a little bit about me and HTC:

I’m a 14 year pediatric cancer survivor and now a 3 year infertility warrior. I’m not going to lie - it’s been a hard hand to be dealt. For years, I was convinced my body was broken and couldn’t be trusted. I didn’t give a crap about caring for it, dressing it, or loving it. That translated into zero self-confidence on every level in my life. I didn’t feel good about how I looked, how I physically felt, or what I had to offer the world. I just kind of skated by, showing up to a dead end job and then coming home and watching endless amounts of tv. 

And then, one day, after getting sucked down the beauty YouTube rabbit hole, I ordered an eyeshadow palette and started learning how to put on makeup. When I was done and looked at myself in the mirror - I couldn’t see the cancer anymore. I just saw me, and the body that worked so hard to give me a second chance life. I didn’t want to waste another minute not living it fully. 

The time I spent playing with makeup and putting together outfits healed my relationship with my body. Then, it transformed into trust. I trusted that it wouldn’t fall apart if I tried to get stronger. I trusted that it would show up for me if I went on an adventure. And then, I started trusting myself - that I could have dreams for my life and that I could achieve them. I proved to myself that I could live a vibrant life, despite my scars, despite my past, and despite what limitations others put on me. 

My goal is to show up here and help you find and express your inner vibrance, and give you the confidence to live as vibrantly as possible. Sometimes, that journey starts with a little mascara or a new outfit. Other times, it means implementing strategies to help you tune out your inner critic and pursue whatever lights your soul on fire with confidence.

Wherever you are in your journey to living a vibrant life, I’m here, cheering you on. 

Now, let me know - what do you want to see from HTC this year? Where can I help you?
Even though I really thought we would have had a b Even though I really thought we would have had a baby here by the time this holiday arrived, I’m grateful for the things I do have: a home, a job, an amazing husband, family, friends, food on the table, doggos, and my health (mostly.) I honestly couldn’t ask for more after this crazy year - and while I hope we have a baby here by Christmas 2021, I know that I’ll be okay if we have to wait longer. That is my Christmas miracle - hope and patience and peace. 
Happy Christmas 🎄All my love to you.

While doing the on boarding for @thetokenlife coac While doing the on boarding for @thetokenlife coaching program I signed up for last week, I was asked: “When do I feel like my truest self?”

I could answer it without taking even a second to think about it: When I’m in my Jeep, exploring the outdoors and conquering obstacles, surrounded by the people who I love most: my family. (There’s 6 Jeeps and counting between me and my three siblings. Whenever I’m on a trail, at least one of them is with me.) 

Not when I’m working. Not when I am focusing on my side-businesses. Not when I am consumed by my daily life. I feel like my truest self when I have left that all behind. I feel like my truest self when I am behind the steering wheel of my rig, knowing that the most important people in my life are on the trail with me. I feel like my truest self when I am having fun, when I am feeling brave, and most importantly: when I am free.

What a profound discovery that’s been for me - that the titles, accomplishments, and material items I work hard for don’t actually help me feel like my truest self. While those are nice to have, it’s been a huge weight lifted off my shoulders to know that if they were all taken away from me tomorrow, I’d be okay. I would still know how to be me.

This knowledge has been a gift. It’s lifted a weight off my shoulders I didn’t know I was carrying. And so I challenge you to really think hard and answer:

When do YOU feel like your truest self?

Last night, when I randomly decided I wanted a bur Last night, when I randomly decided I wanted a burrito for dinner, this guy not only insisted we listen to Christmas music on the way to the drive through (and even sang along to @nsync’s Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays song) he even said we could watch a Hallmark Christmas movie when we got home! He’s been so supportive of my love for Christmas and my need to feel the magic even earlier this year - especially after last month...

I’m not ready to talk about it in much detail yet, but we did start an infertility treatment in October and it did not go as planned. It actually ended up being really traumatic and devastating for us, and I have had a hard time getting through the deep and dark place it left me. 

I shared a little bit more about how our infertility journey has looked over the last year in my newest blog post (yes! Another one! Can you believe it?) if you’re remotely interested, the link is in my bio.

7 Things I wish you knew about being a childhood cancer survivor

I've sat on this post all month and here, in the last few hours of the last day of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, I'm pulling the trigger and publishing it. I don't normally have a problem talking about my experiences with pediatric cancer, but this post is from a more raw, rough, and real point of view as a childhood cancer survivor. Before jumping into it, I want to preface that I am in NO WAY looking for pity or attention. This last year has been super transformative for me (in terms of coping and coming to an understanding and certain level of peace with my trauma and experiences.) I'm mentally and physically in the best place I've ever been in my 13 . . .

10 Practical Ways to Support Someone with Cancer

At the end of September, I got brave and decided to talk more openly about my story as a pediatric cancer patient and survivor. Since September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month, I wanted to do my part in raising awareness and sharing a REAL look at treatment and life after. And yes, while I've written a lot about my experiences as a survivor here on HTC, talking about it face to face (well, with my face on Instagram Stories) was really intimidating. It's hard to relive those memories of my diagnosis, treatment, and life immediately afterward in such details and it puts me in a very vulnerable and sensitive state. But. That IS my story and even though it took me a . . .

Reflections on Being 12 Years Cancer Free (+ Giveaway!)

I nervously get into the passenger seat of our Ford Edge at 7:40 AM on a Friday morning and buckle myself in. I tell myself over and over again that I shouldn't feel so nervous, that there is no reason to worry, that this is my 12th year of going through this process, but I'm still shaking a little bit. It's hard to listen to logic, sometimes, when there's trauma telling you otherwise. Dustin drives. He talks about the plans for the next Jeep project and I try to focus on the words as much as I can.

5 Ways I’m Coping with my Survivor’s Guilt

About a year and a half I opened up about something that I rarely had talked to anyone about before: dealing with survivor's guilt and anxiety. It was a really hard post for me to write, but it was therapeutic as well. I finally felt like I was in a place in life where I could openly admit that I was dealing with those things and that there was no need to be ashamed of them. Last March, I opened up again and talked about how cancer complicates my birthday. For the last nine years, I have had a really hard time wanting to celebrate my birthday because the survivor's guilt was so heavy. I would find myself in a deep depression during the month of March and last year . . .

How Cancer Complicates Birthdays

Sorry for the heavy post today. I just had to get it out. I was one of the oldest kids on my hospital floor during the year of my chemotherapy treatment. My nurses and doctors kind of choose me to be the "welcome to cancer floor" ambassador because of my age. I didn't mind it at all; I was honored to be the roommate that they choose for new kids to talk to and hoped I could help by answering their questions about treatment and medicine and Make-a-Wish. That's how I met Maddie. They put her in my room during her first chemotherapy and asked if I would chat with her and answer any of her questions. I think she might have been a little freaked out about me at . . .

Cancer through the Eyes of my Sister

We made it to Arizona in one piece and with only a few minor setbacks on Thursday and have been unpacking and settling in since. We'll be getting internet installed tomorrow and I'm so excited to be able to get back to blogging. Today, my youngest sister, Katie, who has guest posted here before, is taking over again. A couple weeks ago, when I wrote this post about survivor's guilt, Katie and I got to talking about how my cancer had affected her (she was 10 when I was diagnosed). We had a very long and beautiful heart-to-heart and I felt like the things she had to say were so important that I asked her to share them here. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month . . .

Life After Cancer: Anxiety & Survivor’s Guilt

I've been debating sharing this post for the last week because it's super personal and it's raw and real and not entirely happy. However, it's been very therapeutic for me to write this out and after reading this post from Summer, I realized that I could be brave, too, and share what's been happening in my life lately. Two weeks ago, I went down to Boston to see my Oncology team at Dana Farber (If you're new here and need some catching up on my story, you can read about my cancer here, here, here and here). I had various tests, scans, x-rays and blood work done to check on my remission status. And I was officially declared 9 years in remission. My doctor said . . .

11 Lessons Learned from Cancer

My Timehop has been full of Facebook posts and pictures from nine years ago when I was in the middle of my fight with Osteosarcoma. It's crazy to look back at those photos and to realize how sick I truly was. Being nine years in remission now, it's easy to kind of forget the details of that time and to block out the more unpleasant parts of my illness. But, looking back at those photos of 16-year-old-me, I can't help but think about where I was and what I was going through and how much I wish I could go back in time and tell her that everything is going to work out. I've been thinking about what I would want her to know; what lessons I learned from cancer. . . .
