Meet The Real Chelzzz

We were lucky to catch up with The Real Chelzzz recently and have shared our conversation below.

The Real , so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.

Getting clean and working the 12 steps has boosted my confidence and self esteem immensely. Before working the steps, I was broken and confused. I was doing well and my music had really taken off but I only was experiencing my self esteem through others that were praising and elevating me. Although that can help, it clouded my vision as to who I really am and I needed to take a step back and do some self discovery so I could feel all these positive vibes and accept them as my truth. Through working the steps, I was able to write a book and unpack my baggage I carried for so many years. By connecting with God and with myself, I developed real self esteem and self confidence that shined through even on my dark hours.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

Recently I’ve been focused on my first book Heroin Heroine. My book is my personal story reflecting heavily on my addiction and codependency. This self help memoir will help addicts of any kind find tools and tips to navigate through their own recovery journey. My book will be available on Amazon on 1/30 and I want to invite anyone reading this to join me on 1/30 at 6pm for my virtual book launch party. I’m also dropping an album the day of the book launch of a few tracks that accompany the story. This is my FREE gift to all my readers.

Follow my social medias @TheRealChelzzz or my Facebook page “Heroin Heroine” to keep up to date with the release and extra special gifts that go with the purchase of the book.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

First I needed to admit that I needed help.

Second I had to ask the God of my understanding to help me.

And third, I began the work that many others have done before me that proved to work for other addicts and alcoholics and something magical happened…it started WORKING when I was working it. I got vigorously honest, I admitted when I was wrong, I took responsibility for what was mine and let go of the rest. I began to see myself for the first time in a whole new light.

Do the work and it will work. You get what you put into your life.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

I’m actually partnered now with Ellen Hopkins, the author of the “Crank” series as well as with the authors of the 12 step journal and work book to ensure my readers have a back platform they can rely on to work through their own 12 step program in their own time.

I will be available to chat all throughout the process on my social medias @TheRealChelzzz or on my book page “Heroin Heroine”
