Special Guest: actor, storyteller + momma - Chelsey Fuller
Parenting + Chasing your Dreams -- "done is better than perfect"
Happy Tuesday everyone. The last one this month, 2025 keeps ticking.
I am thrilled to introduce you all to Chelsey Fuller this week, my longest and forever best friend. Also, because the Great Spirit in the sky loves me, she happens to be my only sibling, ride or die sisters for all of life.
Chelsey is a dream chasing, white flag waving, authentic to the bones human. An amazing dazzlingly aware friend, mate, sister and now mother to my niece, the sweetest baby in the whole wide world.
I know, biased much … yes unashamedly.
Chels is a beautiful believer, seeing the good in herself and in others.
One of those humans you cannot help being pulled towards, she discerns what really matters.
every.
single.
time.
She puts her money where her mouth is, carrying a zest for life to the fullest, loving her people with true depth and sincerity.
It’s with honor and pure privilege that she is the first special guest spotlight and shoutout here on The Alternative. She loves a good, honest story and has devoted her life, bringing them to fruition for others to enjoy and get lost in.
I got to talk with her organically about what it’s like staying the course in your own vision and dreams while also become a parent, the two intertwining in their very own dance.
(spoiler alert.. you’ll meet baby Charlie too :)
