In this solo mini-episode of Quiet Confessions, Chelsea shares a raw and relatable story about parenting while navigating a chronic illness flare. With their usual support systems unavailable over a long weekend, they open up about what it took to ask a friend for help—despite shame, fear, and deeply ingrained beliefs about being a burden.
From popcorn dinners to parenting fails, Chelsea gets candid about the emotional and physical toll of solo parenting with a disability, the inner voices that make asking for help so hard, and the radical act of giving yourself grace when your best doesn’t look perfect.
Whether you’re parenting through illness, exhaustion, or just one of “those” weeks—this one’s for you.
