aboutchelsea

Hi, my name is Chelsea Vaughn.

I currently live in Austin, TX, and I am a storyteller. I’m 28 years old, and I’ve spent time in 3 countries and 7 cities. The bulk of my childhood (1999-2007) was spent in Bangkok, Thailand, with my family due to my dad’s work.

I developed an understanding of the privilege I had to cultural exposure and diversity at such a young age. It shaped me and deepened my passions. My faith is central to who I am today. The theme of my walk with God is trusting Him through the constant transition of life and self.

While my life, experiences, and career have been a compilation of unexpected transitions, the constant is writing. I love holistic health and wellness, identity and self-care, and interpersonal relationships. Most of my writing covers these topics.

When I’m not writing, I’m probably outside enjoying the sunshine or sitting on a soft couch with a wine glass and my favorite people (and puppy dachshund).
