Episode 16 – Return to Stillness: Healing Through Nature

In this soul-soothing episode of Organized Chaos, Chevelle invites you to step away from the noise and back into something ancient, gentle, and healing—nature.

This episode explores the therapeutic power of walking without distraction, sitting by water, painting what you see, and simply being present outdoors. It’s a deep exhale for the overextended. A love letter to stillness. A call to remember that we are nature—not separate from it.

You'll hear reflections on:

• The nervous system reset that comes from slowing down

• Why ducks might be your new emotional support animals

• Letting go of hustle culture through seasonal living

• Reclaiming your inner child through curiosity and awe

• How sacred solitude outdoors helps you meet yourself again

This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a guided walk back to yourself. So press play, breathe deeply, and let the wind carry you home. 🌿

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Chevelle cracks open the complex question so many of us silently carry: Who am I now? After the breakdowns. After the therapy. After walking away from the job, the relationship, the routine that used to define you—what’s left?

This episode, Chevelle takes listeners on a raw and relatable journey through identity loss, emotional weight, burnout recovery, and rediscovering self-worth. Whether you've been through a major life change, are in the thick of a healing process, or are just quietly questioning who you are beneath the noise—this episode was made for you.

We talk about:

• The moment everything burned down 🔥

• Two years deep into therapy and the spirals that come with it

• Letting go of a job, a person, a lifestyle

• Redefining success and reclaiming your peace

• Grieving old versions of yourself

• The beauty (and awkwardness) of the in-between

• Rebuilding with intention, softness, and truth

This episode is a love letter to your becoming. To the version of you who is still emerging, still tender, still learning to stand in her softness and power.

So if you're asking the question, "Who am I now?"—know you're not alone. And maybe the answer is simple: You're still becoming. And that’s more than enough.

💛 Grab your journal, a warm drink or a glass of wine and let’s get into it.

As wildfire season ignites across the country, Chevelle returns to the mic with one of their most powerful episodes yet. In Let It Burn, we explore fire as more than destruction—it’s a force of transformation, healing, and rebirth.

Drawing on personal stories from the fireline, including a 27-hour wildfire battle, Chevelle opens up about PTSD, slow burns, fast collapses, and what it means to come out “in the black.” This 14-part deep dive blends raw storytelling, wildfire prevention tips, global fire facts, and therapeutic metaphors that mirror nature’s chaos and resilience.

Whether you’re in the middle of your own blaze or standing quietly in the ashes, this episode is here to remind you: fire doesn’t just take—it gives. It clears the way for something new.
Let it burn. Let it heal. Let it begin.

In a world that praises productivity and perfection, what does it actually look like to give yourself grace? In this deeply vulnerable and powerful episode, Chevelle shares what it means to live with PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder—and how grace becomes not just a practice, but a lifeline.

From the therapy sessions that feel like a chore, to the guilt of missed workouts and messy kitchens, this episode explores the reality of healing: the exhaustion, the guilt, the loneliness—and the radical softness it takes to keep going.

You’ll hear real stories about setting boundaries, grieving friendships, learning to rest without guilt, and trusting that joy is allowed to coexist with pain. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at being human, this one’s for you.

Topics Covered:

• Advocating for yourself in therapy
  

• Healing through trauma and mental illness
  

• Fitness, food, and body image redefined
  

• Friendship, boundaries, and letting go
  

• How rest, stillness, and self-love are survival—not weakness
  

This is grace in motion. And it’s enough.

As we grow, so do our friendships—or sometimes, they don’t. This week on Organized Chaos, we’re peeling back the layers of what it means to love, lose, and grow with our people. From childhood besties to season-of-life friends, to the unexpected grief of letting someone go—we’re getting real about adult friendships. How do we move on when things change? How do we say goodbye with grace? And how do we show up for the ones still standing beside us? You’re not alone in this, and today we’re going all in.

They say life begins at 30—but what they don’t say is that sometimes, it has to fall apart first. This episode is a long, soul-led conversation about what it really means to start over. Chevelle opens up about leaving behind comfort, love, and expectations to rebuild a life from scratch. With raw honesty and steady hope, this is a story of transformation, reinvention, and the quiet courage it takes to hit reset in your 30s.

Cramping Our Style: The Unfiltered Reality of Being a Woman

A deep dive into the hidden burdens of womanhood—painful periods, contraception challenges, mood swings, and the impossible expectations placed on women. Chevelle gets personal, real, and raw about their own health journey, while unpacking research from the Alberta Women’s Health Foundation to spotlight just how overlooked women’s health really is.

Episode 9: The Mental Health Journey is Not for the Faint of Heart

Mental health isn’t a broken bone. It doesn’t come with a cast, a guidebook, or a warning label. It’s invisible—until it isn’t. In this raw and unfiltered episode, we dive deep into the realities of mental health struggles, from the loneliness that comes with being unseen to the painful experience of losing people along the way.

We’ll explore the Sims analogy (because honestly, where’s our damn plumbob?), talk about the brutal fight to be heard, and even unpack how dark humor can be a life raft when the world feels too heavy.

This episode is a reminder that your journey is valid, your struggles are real, and even on your hardest days—you are not alone. Buckle up, because we’re getting into it.
