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.
