Chelsea (they/them) lives in Franklin County with their partner, two daughters, one cranky cat, and one rambunctious pup. As an LGBTQIA+ person, their pride lies in being an ally and raising compassionate kids who embrace acceptance and empathy. They have spent most of their life working with children and families in Special Education and volunteering at a Pediatric Oncology Camp. They are a fierce mental health advocate with a primary focus on postpartum mental health disorders. They are currently doing the stay-at-home-mom thing while also hosting a podcast called Quiet Connection: Postpartum Mental Health.
In their spare time, they love to read, listen to music, sing, go on road trips, and bake just about anything! They enjoy being at home and find happiness in canceled plans, late morning breakfasts, and cozy moments with their family on the couch.
