Start Scared
Chrysty Lockhart
Start Scared is the podcast for busy mamas who love their kids but feel like they've lost themselves in the chaos of motherhood. If you're ready to rediscover the woman you are outside of “Mom,” even if you're not sure where to begin, this is the place for you.
Together, we'll tackle the lies we tell ourselves, smash through the excuses holding us back, and gain the clarity we need to start showing up for ourselves unapologetically. Because, Mama, you matter—not just as a mom, but as the incredible woman God created you to be.
It’s time to take that first step toward finding yourself again. Are you ready to Start Scared?

Today, I am pulling back the curtain on something BIG that has been happening in our lives around here.
I am always one who likes to live inside my comfort zone, but I recently took my own advice to START SCARED.
I talk about how Angel Numbers and flashing billboards from God ultimately flipped my world upside down in a scary and exciting way!

I posted some intimate things I have been struggling with on IG and Facebook a couple of weeks ago and the response from women saying they felt so seen was overwhelming and humbling...
Most of these things that I am sharing are kept inside and are not things I share with anyone, even those close to me... Things that I haven't necessarily shared here either.
Sometimes I feel like internally I am drowning in criticism from myself when no one has a clue... When we bring our secrets into the light, they don’t seem as scary anymore...
We are in this together... 🫶🏼

90. STOP waiting and start LIVING!
Start Scared
11/09/22 • 12 min
At the time of this recording, my sweet daddy has taken a turn for the worse and instead of bringing you the golden nuggets that I learned from Amber Lilyestrom at the EmpowerHER Live event back in October, I am bringing real and raw and what is on my heart...
Girl... don't waste the time you have on this Earth...
Stop waiting and start living.
Tell the people you love that you love them.
Do the things that bring you joy.
Take that trip.
DON'T WAIT.
Because you never know when your time will be up...
Edited to add: I recorded this episode less than 5 hours before my sweet daddy went to be with Jesus. 💜 He died peacefully in his sleep with my mom, me and their two cats by his side on November 6, 2022, less than 3.5 months from onset of symptoms.
**PANCREATIC CANCER AWARENESS FUNDRAISER**
My dad, Geoff Leighton, was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in August 2022 that has spread to his liver and lungs. We are raising money for Pancreatic Cancer Action Network for earlier detection to save lives!
You can shop online all month long in November! All proceeds will be donated directly to PanCAN!

Over the last few days, my world has been rocked... My goodest boy, Perry, was rushed to the Emergency Vet and now I am charged with making life and death decisions for a fur baby who has been in my life longer than my husband... My heart is broken and I am sure you can relate...

103. I never wanted to be a Mom...
Start Scared
02/08/23 • 21 min
I never wanted to be a Mom....
It's hard to say that when I know some people want to be sooo badly... But it was never something that was on my radar... Until it was.
Today, I open up about becoming a Bonus Mom and the process we took for me to get pregnant after swearing I would never have kids.
Never say never...
