Motherhood

about chrissy
hi!
I’m Chrissy Powers. I’m a wife, mom, therapist, podcast host, writer, and eternal optimist. I live and work in San Diego, CA. My husband and I have been in an 8 year process of working, saving, designing and building our dream home when COVID-19 hit and threw some heartache and challenges on our dreams but we have so much hope and faith for the future. We’re doing our best to raise good empathic humans: Waylon (11), Zeke (7) and Ruby (4) who keep us very busy!
I do a lot of things and figure it all out as I go. I used to think that was a negative thing but through my own personal work I realized that’s part of what makes me unique. I love helping others come into their authentic self through my course work, coaching, therapy or just reading a blog or Instagram post.
You can find the Powers fam usually at the beach, riding bikes, or traveling up the CA coast! We’re so happy you’re here.
hey there

Fashion isn’t simply the clothes you wear, it is the best form of self expression and self therapy.
