I’m extremely proud and excited to finally share this film with you guys! Not only is it Chriselle Inc.’s first ever “short film” that we have produced & directed, but it’s a film that takes you on a emotional journey from the darkest period of my life.
When we were approached by SK-ll to share with our audience of how I’ve been able to change my destiny, I couldn’t help but relive that dark moment of my miscarriage (you can watch my miscarriage video HERE). I remember feeling like a complete failure and I was so emotionally devastated. I questioned my existence, and felt like something was wrong with me and my body. I felt useless, worthless, and ashamed.
But fact of the matter is, miscarriages are actually quite common, yet most women suffer in secrecy, shame, and in silence. I was lucky that Allen and the friends that I eventually did tell were so supportive and encouraging. (Not to mention all of you guys!) It was incredibly hard but I continued to do my best every day as a career woman and as a wife. I chose to not let this loss discourage me. I eventually came to realize that my miscarriage did not define me as a woman. Through hope and a spirit that refused to be defeated, I changed my destiny.
This film was inspired by my own personal story along with thousands of women that suffered from a similar loss. It was the first time we’ve ever produced something of this caliber, and its been so incredible seeing it finally come together. From storyboarding, scripting, location scouting, styling, to filming at 4 am, we put so much love into this film. I hope you enjoy watching it just as much as we did making it. & Hopefully this is the first out of many films that we produce this year!
If you loved the video below, feel free to share/post it, as I would love to encourage women that you are always in control. Things may happen unexpectedly but it is always in our power to change our destiny! And so without further ado, here’s our first ever film, Change Destiny.

Dear Chriselle,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for being such an inspiration for all women undergoing this problem in their life.
I’ve discovered your site a week ago and got mesmerized. I am passing through a difficult period in my personal life and added to that, things in the country I am living, Greece are at the worst now.
Watching your well crafted, perfect balanced with light, music and your so calm tone of voice somehow detoured my attention from the negative and got me into that state of living the moment. I remembered how much I loved fashion and how good it feels to wear clothes that compliment your body. You got me back to my family jewelry, I start wearing gold again and I love it. I love waking up again and chose my outfit. I am wearing red lipstick again. I start learning and working to create my own business.
So I am deeply grateful for your work, inspiration. For You.
Thank you.
Oh my soul! Such a strong emotional video! I cried so much and watched it over and over .
Well done for all your achievements and hope to see more of them coming 🙂

Such an inspiring video. I suffered a miscarriage, too, before I had Little Bean, and was lucky to have so much support from my family.

This was so moving and so brave. To share, your story is so very empowering and inspiring. Especially a story that is surrounded by societal secrecy.
It is so gorgeous, just like a movie..very beautiful. And your daughter, she will be proud of u in the future
It’s beautiful, honest and and inspiring! Thank you so much!
For those who had taken the path of sorrows will only know the true depth of the ocean. I truly felt that path through the sweet recalling words narrated in the film, although my feel for the pain will never be nearly as much, but your voice has lend out such support to those who endure and suffered . . . A very beautiful story told today … In search of a great happiness tomorrow for those who have truly witnessed it. A very beautiful personal story. 🙂

Thank you for this post Chriselle! I suffered a miscarriage this past October (the day of my birthday of all days) and the emotional aftermath was something no one could have prepared me for. The feeling of inadequacy and failure as a woman was overwhelming. I am 22 weeks pregnant now and still have my moments where I’m terrified something may go wrong and my body will fail me but I am trying very hard not to let it define the way I live through this pregnancy. Thank you again for posting about this topic, I feel like it is not talked about enough and there needs to be more support out there for women to turn to. Sending lots of love you and your family’s way!
so beautiful Chriselle, so beautiful

Congrats on the film! It was simple, to the point, and beautifully done! I hope it touches those who have felt that sorrow and those who are just now experiencing it and shows them that they can change their path and achieve happiness again.
