Navigating Single Motherhood and Intensive Leukemia Treatment: Interview with Chelseah Darling on her Physical, Spiritual, and Mental Rebirth

"Transforming and Thriving," hosted by 3 best friends (Brooke, Stacie, and Neelia) is a podcast dedicated to showcasing the stories of resilient women who have persevered through pivotal transitions and/or traumas. In this episode, Chelseah Darling, a woman who represents resilience and strength, describes her sudden diagnosis with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in her mid-30s, urgent (and lengthy) hospitalizations and treatments and stem cell transplant, all while navigating being a single mama of a 6-year-old boy. Chelseah is a physician’s assistant who put her career on hold to heal. She openly shares how she survived the chemotherapy treatments, traumatic stem cell transplant, as well as the emotional toll this all took… living in fear and being so vulnerable, and how this experience led to a rebirth of herself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. She had to find trust in herself again and heal both past and current traumas to continue to create the life she wanted for herself and her son. Chelseah describes how everything she went through has inspired her to find ways in which she can utilize her experience to help inspire hope in other women dealing with challenging life situations. Here is the book she quoted in the episode that helped her on her healing journey: The 12 Stages of Healing: A Network Approach to Wholeness by Donald M.
