Thirty weeks. Thirty episodes. Thirty times of showing up, even when life was messy, heavy, or uncertain. In this milestone episode, I reflect on what it really means to hit 30 episodes of Organized Chaos — not just for the podcast, but for me personally.

I share the growth, the heartbreaks, the healing, and the transformation these past 30 weeks have held. From listeners as young as 12 to as wise as 81, from Alberta to the States and across the globe, this podcast has reached farther than I ever imagined. I talk about the messages that stopped me in my tracks, the collaborations I never saw coming, and the chaos behind the mic that makes this space so real.

This isn’t just about a number. It’s about consistency, connection, and the courage to keep showing up — messy, vulnerable, and honest. Here’s to the last 30 episodes, and to the 30 still to come.

The unhealed version of you will align with people who can’t walk beside the healed version of you.

In this raw and real episode of Organized Chaos, I open up about what it feels like to outgrow circles, lose people you thought were forever, and step into the loneliness — and freedom — of healing. I share stories from the fireline about fear, leadership, and survival, tie in the resilience of being a diehard Buffalo Bills fan, and talk about planning my own wedding while realizing not everyone claps for your joy.

This episode is about grief, growth, and the powerful shift that happens when you stop pleasing everyone else and start honoring yourself. Healing isn’t easy — it costs you people, comfort, and sometimes entire versions of yourself. But it also clears the space for the ones who will truly stay.

Your comeback season has already begun.

Everyone loves the idea of chasing a dream — but no one talks about the bill that comes due. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to go after the life you want, whether that’s starting a business, releasing music, hosting a podcast, buying a home, or building a family.

We’ll get into the late nights, the financial sacrifices, the copycats, the friends who cheer until you pass them, the family members who never support you — and the strangers who sometimes become your biggest fans. I’ll share personal stories (including one about a friend who blocked me the minute I started leveling up), lessons learned, and a reminder that the more you worry about what people think, the less you’ll actually do.

This one’s for the dreamers, the doers, and the “thinking about starting” crew — because yes, the cost is high… but the view? It’s worth every damn penny.

You’re the one who hosts the parties, checks in on everyone, remembers the birthdays, and holds it all together—so why do you feel so alone?

In this raw and reflective episode, Chevelle opens up about the emotional toll of being “the strong one,” the grief of one-sided friendships, and the therapy-fueled realization that the question isn’t “What’s wrong with me?”—it’s “Why am I staying where I’m not valued?”

From outgrowing friend groups to being labeled “too much,” this episode is a love letter to anyone who’s ever felt like they were always giving and rarely receiving. If you’ve ever carried the unseen load, this one's for you.

It’s football season—and whether you’re a diehard fan or just here for the snacks, this one’s for you. In this comeback-inspired episode, Chevelle unpacks what football taught them about healing, leadership, and resilience. From playing hurt to rewriting your playbook, this episode is for anyone rebuilding quietly, setting boundaries, and learning to lead with heart—not hustle. Whether you’re sprinting or crawling into your next season, this one’s your permission slip to try again. One yard at a time.

They say “the customer is always right” — but in the wedding and event industry? That phrase needs a serious reality check. In this episode of Organized Chaos, Chevelle dives into the emotional labor of working with difficult clients, what happens when professional advice gets ignored, and the toll of constantly having to prove your value. From boundaries to burnout, pricing flexibility to Pinterest disasters, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating life behind the scenes of big days. Plus, a love letter to the dream clients who trust, appreciate, and empower us to do our best work. Real talk, honest stories, and a whole lot of “I know you’ve been there” energy.

They don’t like you—but they copy you.
They never clap for you—but they watch everything you do.
In this bold, unfiltered episode, Chevelle dives deep into the messy world of imitation, competition, and the power of staying rooted in your authenticity—even when the drama’s loud and the energy’s off.

We talk copycats, creative boundaries, and the kind of growth that makes people uncomfortable. If you’ve ever been mimicked, misunderstood, or made to feel like your magic needs to be more palatable—this episode is your reminder: what’s real can’t be replicated.

✨ Let them watch. You’ve got bigger things to do.

Vendor Diaries: Behind the Velvet Curtain Running a wedding business looks glamorous from the outside—but what’s it really like? In this vulnerable episode, Chevelle peels back the layers of life as a wedding planner and photographer, sharing the raw, honest truth about burnout, boundaries, and building a brand from scratch. From the illusion of “booked and blessed” to the reality of being emotionally drained and physically exhausted, this is a must-listen for anyone in the events industry

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.
