Just a little chop chop and color change for my 31

Just a little chop chop and color change for my 31st year. 💇‍♀️

Loosing my hair at age 16 gave me a pretty big identity crisis. Not only did cancer make me sick, but it made me feel ugly, too. Without my hair, I had to really dig deep and find things about myself that still made me feel beautiful. Without my hair, I learned that I had so much more to offer the world than just my looks. It was a hard and powerful lesson to learn and one I have to remind myself of frequently when I feel insecure about my looks.

I made a decision that I would never take my hair for granted once it grew back and that I would have FUN with it and use it to express myself! I’ve done fire engine red, black and pink, short bobs, long extensions and everything in between. It’s my way of actively surviving - every dang day. Bad anxiety day? Do my hair. Bad ptsd? Do my hair. Bad cancer scare? Change my hair.

So it felt fitting to change it up for year 31 - fun lob with extensions for thickness and taking my color back to my natural shade of brunette. Suck on that, osteosarcoma. 💪🏻

Do you change your hair up frequently? What’s a hairstyle or color you’ve wanted to try but have been afraid to?

Happy birthday to this fiercely loyal, kind, and passionate best friend of mine: @ericaligenza.

E is deeply rooted in her faith, her family, and her work. She inspires me to level up everything I do and challenges me in all the best ways. E is the kind of friend who feeds my soul (instead of eating it.) Finding true friends as an adult can be challenging - but I’m grateful to have found ones I can count on to show up at my doorstep (literally) after some of the hardest months of my life.

Plus, our birthdays are a day apart - if that doesn’t mean we were destined to be bff’s, I don’t what does.

How did I luck out to have such incredible friends

How did I luck out to have such incredible friends?! They planned a surprise visit all the way to Utah after knowing how hard the last few months have been for me. They helped me with a work project. They bought matching sweatshirts with me. They willingly and excitedly asked if they could go for a ride in @dinah.xj - like WUT?! I can’t even believe how I ended up with such amazing girlfriends (and a husband who helped coordinate everything) and I’m endlessly grateful for the love and memories and laughs we’ve shared this weekend.

Ps. - matching sweatshirts are from @target and braids are courtesy of @blondeandambitiousblog (maybe she’ll grace us with a tutorial before she leaves?)

Working for a women-owned, women-run small busines

Working for a women-owned, women-run small business that’s passionate about what they do has given me a whole new definition and outlook on what it means to be a woman.

Keeping this small business afloat during the last year has shown me how absolutely incredible women are. I am surrounded by resilient, tenacious, passionate, determined, resourceful, hard working, and dedicated women who have adapted, pivoted, and kept showing up for this business, all while balancing their families, health issues, and the general anxiety that comes with a pandemic. We have lifted each other up, cheered each other on, held space for each other during hard times, and laughed together in between. It’s been a wild ride and I am inspired by this group of gals ever dang day!

Happy International Women’s Day to this groups of amazing co-workers (and the whole @shopmscb team) who have become my teammates, cheerleaders and dear friends. ❤️

More on that to come - but right now, I just wanted to let you know that the scans are clean. That there is no sign of cancer. And that life is so, so beautiful.

I want so badly to believe good things can happen

I want so badly to believe good things can happen to me - but it’s hard when I have a history of trauma and epically bad things in my past (looking at you, pediatric cancer and infertility.) This current health crisis has really shaken me up - I’ve been afraid to even TRY to work towards good things in my life because I’m afraid that it will tempt fate to come after me.

So I’ve done nothing, except sit in my bed, numb myself with TV, panic myself with Google searches, and attempt to get my responsibilities for work done in between.
It’s no way to live.

And I want to believe I’m worthy of good things happening to me.

So I’m taking baby steps to help me try to keep a more abundant mindset! Here are a few things I’ve done:

1. I had my nails painted green - which is the color that represents health and resilience.
2. I made an appointment to finally put my extensions back in (because I deserve to have pretty hair, regardless of my health.)
3. I don’t sit in silence - I either have an audio book playing, uplifting music, a podcast, a show, or I call someone. I fill my surroundings with things to distract me, so that I can’t let my mind spiral.

Baby steps to changing a mindset that’s caused me to truly be paralyzed with inaction and fear for the last two months. It’s not a cure all - but, it’s helping.

I’d love to know if you have any little tricks you use to help you stay positive? I need all the help I can get ❤️

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 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.
