Episode 22: Home Sweet Headache — The Chaos of Homeownership in Canada

Buying a house: the Canadian dream… or a financial horror story? In this episode, Chevelle gets real about the highs, lows, and total chaos of owning a home in Canada. From sky-high prices, mortgage stress tests, and endless taxes, to the freedom of tearing down a wall (or two) — it’s all on the table.

We’ll break down the cost of making a house a home, from a fresh coat of paint to a full-blown reno, and why anything that breaks is your problem to fix. Plus, we talk about glow-ups, Honey Do lists that never die, and how you might just have to trade pizza and beer for unpaid renovation help from your friends and family — including one niece who runs the job site like a tiny dictator.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the homeownership hamster wheel, this episode will make you laugh, nod, and maybe cry a little. Because, hey, it’s home sweet headache — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

This wasn’t the summer I turned pretty.
This was the summer I turned real.

In this deeply honest solo episode, I open up about my 50 lb weight loss journey over 7 months—not as a "glow-up," but as a full-body reckoning. After gaining weight from a hormone imbalance caused by birth control, I had to fight to feel like myself again. With consistent gym time, hours of walking, and more rounds of golf than I can count, I began to reclaim my body—only to be met with praise I never asked for and a pressure I wasn’t ready for.

Everyone said I looked amazing. But what they didn’t see?
The body dysmorphia. The shame. The mirror that got meaner, not kinder.
The girl who looked “better” but felt more insecure than ever.

This episode explores the emotional weight no one talks about—the kind you carry long after the pounds are gone. I also share a chaotic and heartfelt love letter to my two heeler dogs, Whiskey (blue) and Copenhagen (red), who dragged me out of depression, nightmares, and bed—literally. Every walk, every bruise, every ball thrown 78 times in a row… they were part of my healing, too.

If you’ve ever felt unseen in your “before,” overwhelmed in your “after,” or like pretty came at too high a price—this one’s for you.

Some words never leave our lips—but they still live in our bones.
This episode is a collection of 13 unsent letters… to people I’ve lost, versions of myself I’ve shed, dreams that didn’t happen, and the love I almost forgot I deserved.

It’s raw. It’s poetic. It’s vulnerable.

You’ll hear letters to my younger self, to the friend I outgrew, to the body I once hated, to the life I let go of—and maybe, just maybe, you’ll hear one that sounds like it was written for you.

These are the words I never said—but desperately needed to.
Maybe it’s time you wrote yours, too.

This summer, we’re not just healing—we’re glowing. In this lighthearted yet deeply reflective episode, I’m taking you through what I call “Hot Girl Healing”: the version of self-growth that doesn’t ask you to sit in silence, but invites you to dance, to rest, to bloom out loud. From backyard rituals to body love, iced coffee moments to emotional maturity, this is your permission slip to feel good again—even while you’re still figuring things out.

Let this episode be your summer soundtrack for reclaiming joy, redefining beauty, and stepping into your own sunshine.

Because babe… healing is hot.

In this raw and reflective episode of Organized Chaos, I open up about the many kinds of weight we carry—on our bodies, in our hearts, in our minds, and in our relationships. Since November, I’ve shed over 50 pounds—but what I’ve truly lost runs much deeper than a number on a scale. I talk about walking away from a soul-draining job, releasing friendships that no longer served me, and discovering the cost of being undervalued in spaces that demanded my silence.

We unpack hustle culture, hormonal imbalances, unspoken grief, emotional armor, and the impossible expectations women are often taught to carry. This episode isn’t about transformation—it’s about liberation. It's a love letter to anyone learning how to let go of what no longer fits and finding peace in their own skin, maybe for the first time.

This isn’t a story about weight loss. It’s a story about coming home to yourself.

In this jam-packed episode of Organized Chaos, Chevelle gets real about the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship—from late-night hustle and creative burnout to the joy of building something that’s entirely yours. Whether you're dreaming of launching a side hustle or already knee-deep in invoices and Instagram reels, this episode is your unfiltered guide to getting started (and staying sane).

Chevelle shares in-depth tips for new entrepreneurs, dives into the unique challenges of running a woman-owned business, and explores what your life could look like five years from now—if you start today. This isn’t just motivation. It’s a roadmap. It’s permission. It’s proof that the only thing standing between you and the dream is the belief that you can build it.

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.
