What does it really look like to move out of endless survival mode?
In this episode, I’m joined by Chelsie Jenkins, a mom of five who has weathered some of the most intense seasons life can bring: the loss of a child, cross-country moves, special needs caregiving, supporting a spouse through grad school, and more.
Chelsie shares how, despite years of feeling like she was barely keeping her head above water, she began to shift her mindset, create sustainable systems, and prepare for her next big transition – adding a new baby and starting school – without spiraling back into chaos.
As a founding member of the Surviving to Thriving Toolkit, Chelsie learned to:
- Recognize survival mode patterns
- Implement home systems in a way that worked with her capacity
- Involve her kids in meaningful ways
- Approach upcoming life changes with peace instead of panic
If you’ve ever felt like you can’t catch a break, or like you’re failing at motherhood because everything feels so hard, this episode will offer real hope and show you how the Surviving to Thriving Toolkit can help you too.
