The Deliberate Exchange - Navigating Stress, Sobriety & Self-Trust — One Deliberate Step at a Time
The Deliberate Exchange is a podcast for women ready to lead themselves through stress, sobriety, and self-trust — one deliberate step at a time.
Hosted by Chelsea — a stress and confidence coach, breathwork facilitator, and Interim Director of She Walks Canada — each episode offers mindset tools, emotional regulation practices, and real conversations that help you reclaim your power and presence.
Whether you're sober, sober-curious, or simply seeking deeper self-leadership, you'll find insights on stress relief, nervous system healing, and the mind-body connection. Expect solo episodes, some guest interviews, and practical guidance to help you stop performing and start becoming who you really are.
This is for women who want to feel calm, clear, and confident — and know their growth isn’t an accident... it’s a choice.

From Surviving to Self-Led: The Small Choices That Changed My Life
Another off-the-cuff episode, I peel back the curtain on what life looked like before I became the version of myself you see today. I share the raw, unfiltered truth of my journey — from numbing with wine (and puzzles) and silence at the dinner table, to panic attacks in downtown Toronto, to finally choosing a different path.
You’ll hear how I slowly (and imperfectly) transitioned from surviving life to leading it — one small, intentional decision at a time.
I talk about quitting drinking, healing emotional patterns, discovering breath work, and creating a self-led life rooted in presence, purpose, and peace.
If you're stuck in the cycle of doing all the “right” things but still feel disconnected and overwhelmed, this one’s for you.
You’ll learn:
- What the shift from “checking boxes” to choosing your life really looks like
- Why micro-changes matter more than dramatic overhauls
- How to move from avoidance to aligned action
- The truth about healing, growth, and becoming the person you know you’re meant to be
Stress is the doorway. Coming home to yourself is the journey.
If you’re ready to start your journey, here’s where you can begin:
- The Micro-Regulation Toolkit ($27) — 7 days of nervous system practices to help you get quick wins and feel grounded fast.
- The Personal Power Map — a personalized breakdown of your stress patterns, hidden strengths, and next power move, complete with a video report from me so you can feel my coaching style and energy.
- Rooted & Rising — my 4-week breathwork series for women ready to go deeper into healing, release, and expansion together. Starts September 25
- And if you’re craving high-touch, transformational support, I also offer 1:1 mentorship.
You don’t need more random information from instagram—you need tools, practices, and perspective that actually help you feel different.
