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.

I Lost My Sh*t While Building Our House—and I Teach Breathwork... EP33
You can meditate, journal, breathe, and still break down.
I open up about the behind-the-scenes of building our dream home—what it cost me emotionally, physically, and mentally. From screaming matches and bleeding knuckles to nervous system shutdown and shame spirals, I share how even with years of healing work under my belt, stress still pushed me to the edge.
This isn’t a story about burnout—it’s about survival. It’s about what happens when your practices aren’t enough, and why that doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
We talk stress responses, somatic discharge, trauma patterns, and the real path to regulation—not perfection. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re “still losing it” even when you “do the work”—this one’s for you.
Plus, I share how this experience became the foundation for my Rooted & Rising breathwork series, where we don’t bypass pain—we hold it, breathe through it, and rise.
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.
