Debs back and she's taking over the Chelsea Channel for Memorial Day Weekend. A lifelong Cape Cod local, self described as a dying breed, has something to say about everyone who is or will be sitting in traffic on Route 6 this weekend. She remembers about what the Cape used to be, complains about what is ruining her fav restaurants and reminds us all... that we are the problem.

1. Last spring, while everyone was panicking about their 401Ks and the price of eggs, I predicted it was going to be a local summer — and I was right. Statistically, 40% of Americans 2025 reported they didn't summer aboard. The billionaires went to Nantucket, the millionaires went to the Vineyard, the middle class went to their cousin’s cottage or piled into a rental accumulating debt, and the working class blew up a pool in the backyard. Summer 2025 is dead but she’s not done with us. I THINK... Summer 2026 is shaping up to be exactly the same, did we learn anything?

Sometimes it genuinely feels like there's a secret meeting going on...people sitting in circles praying I mess up before I get to do the thing I love. Does that resonate with anyone?

The little roadblocks can feel personal, like a cosmic joke. But what if the hurdles are the real lesson?

Doing the thing...I called it our extracurricular activities...whatever yours is AND completing that one thing... is a HUGE victory.

Honestly, I think it's about shifting our perspective. Next time you get stuck, remind yourself: these problems are actually proof that you're pushing your boundaries.

Maybe the biggest success is showing up despite the obstacles.

I couldn't record the episode I planned. So, I recorded this one instead. In one of the most raw and honest episodes of The Chelsea Channel, I take us inside the moment everything fell apart... the technical issues, the guilt, the crying on camera, the kids pulling in...and somehow, I turn it into something worth listening to. This episode is about that one thing you can't stop trying to do, even when the universe seems personally invested in stopping you. It's about problems, persistence, regret, and why people like us don't quit. I do not have it figured out yet. But I will not be stopping.

Patreon episode — subscribers only. Chelsea gets into why the alien disclosure did absolutely nothing for her, and what that reveals about collective numbness, fear overload, and the way micro threats have replaced our instinct for real danger. Plus:...

I stopped watching scary movies—and soon after, I stopped needing a night-light.......IN MY 30s!

For years, I thought facing imaginary monsters in movies was the way to conquer fear, until I found myself in my 30's, with two kids, & still afraid of the dark. Wanting to replace my interest in all things spooky I decided it was time to stand face to face with real evil at a murder house. And it was in that moment that everything changed. I don't actually think I like spooky/evil things!

I saw a poor comment about the prices at my favorite Cape Cod restaurant and saw red. I immediately thought of all the figures I know of and researched for more updated information. Like current wholesale prices, labor costs...etc. Now, I want to talk about it.

Most people complain about the price without understanding the incredible expenses behind it... from fishing to kitchen costs, rent, and labor. IT ADDS UP, just like our grocery bills.

Restaurants are barely breaking even on these dishes, yet they keep giving their all for the customers they love.

Knowing this, maybe your next seafood bite comes with a little more gratitude?

Would you pay the current prices if you understood what’s involved?

Think about it next time you get a seafood platter... it’s more than just food; it’s a labor of love and survival.

Let’s stop the unfair complaints and support the people who keep our favorite spots alive while it's still feasible for them to be open!!!!!!

Join me crashing out from just having recorded the previous episode about my health scare: from my husband's impressive music skills to the wild dream about a Robin and how it might hold deeper meaning. This episode blends humor, personal stories, and dream interpretation.

*Intro music is an early release/ sneak peek. Andrews still working on the levels. I am not going to pretend to know what he is talking about but SNEAK PEAK for my Clammies

Two weeks ago, I discovered a lump that felt different from the others. The anxiety of waiting for tests and imaging was overwhelming.

Through this experience, I learned the importance of knowing my body. I was once indifferent about health, but my son's reaction to food dyes opened my eyes. We cleaned up our diet, and the results were life-changing! No more skin issues, and our overall health improved. I thought I was doing everything RIGHT...espically about my choice in the copper iud. Nonhormonal birthcontol. Cant get any more natural then that...so I thought. After years of side effects finally coming to ahead, I decided to remove it.....Then the lump showed up.

How could this lump appear? What did I do wrong? Then the loss of sleep began. Staying up all hours of the night leading up to my diagnostic appointment, going down every rabbit hole in existence. The feeling like I had zero control over my body is something I still CLEARLY need to work on. The lump was diagnosed BENIGN. I am very relived. However, where I am going from here is still unknown territory. I was told "these are your breasts now..." "this is your baseline." Now I feel so lost in the WHY and HOW.

Remember, your health is your wealth.

Bless everyone in the whole world who is or has gone through BC. My test results are common but for some women, and men, that is not the answer they receive.

I try everything I swore I hated.
