Soul Trip with Chel
Soul Trip with Chel is a podcast for women who are ready to accept, trust, and love themselves on a deep, unshakable level. Hosted by Chel — who has spent nearly a decade doing this work herself — Soul Trip is for the woman who has spent too long shrinking, people-pleasing, and wearing masks just to feel loved. Each episode covers the real, honest work of self-trust, self-love, and becoming who you were always meant to be. Consider this your permission slip to stop performing and start remembering who you've always been. Because you were never broken — you just forgot your way home.

If you've ever felt guilty or "bad" for having so-called negative emotions, this episode is for you.
In this episode, Chel re...

Some of us spend years shrinking ourselves just to make everyone else more comfortable. But what if the thing that makes you “too much” is exactly what the world needs more of?
In this episode, Chel brings you into a defining moment from her past: one that started on a wedding dance floor and ended in a reckoning with self-worth, boundaries, and the relentless pressure to dim your own light.
Was it a run-of-the-mill relat...

Some places, rituals, and pieces of ourselves quietly get tangled up with the people we shared them with, until what was always ours starts to feel like it belongs to someone else too.
