Between patient appointments, family schedules, and the steady rhythm of caring for others, the women of Family Hearing carry more than just the essentials. Their bags are part survival kit and part storybook, filled with the small things that keep life moving and the meaningful pieces that remind them why they do what they do.
In a field centered on listening, it’s no surprise that this team is deeply in tune with both their patients and the people they love at home. The same care and attentiveness they bring to their work show up in the way they move through everyday life.
We asked them to unzip their purses and give us a glimpse inside.
Chelsea Walters, Owner
Chelsea’s bag is equal parts command center and keepsake drawer. Her MacBook is where ideas take shape and conversations never stop, while a small collection of playground rocks from her son quietly gathers alongside it, each one a reminder of home in the middle of a busy day. She’s the “prepared one,” with cords, snacks, and just about anything someone might need within reach, a mindset that carries into the experience she creates for every patient who walks through the door. A backpack by choice, her style is practical, polished, and always ready for what’s next.
Brittany Howard, Audiologist
Brittany keeps it simple, but never unprepared. Chapstick is non-negotiable in Colorado’s dry air, and her earplugs are always close by, a subtle reflection of the work she does every day and the care she takes to protect her hearing wherever she goes. A nail kit and a stash of Band-Aids round out her essentials, proof that she’s always ready for the small things, much like the attention to detail she brings to helping patients hear clearly and comfortably. While her purse is perfectly organized, life outside of it, especially mid-move, is a little less so.
Sandra Hall, Patient Care Coordinator
Sandra’s purse tells a story, layered with both practicality and heart. Her phone keeps her connected to her kids and entertained throughout the day, while a worn dog tag from a beloved pet reminds her of the loyalty she carries into everything she does, including the way she cares for patients from the moment they walk in. Somewhere between neatly packed and comfortably lived-in, her bag holds the basics plus the extras that make long days easier. “Organized in a disorderly fashion” might be the most accurate description.
Allie Knox, Audiology Technician
Allie’s bag leans into calm, care, and a touch of the unexpected. A natural, essential oil remedy reflects her love for all things holistic and soothing, an approach that carries over into the way she helps patients feel at ease. A random lock has somehow earned a permanent place inside, just waiting for its moment. With shareable essentials like lotion and sanitizer, her purse mirrors the way she shows up for others: steady, thoughtful, and quietly prepared.
Behind every appointment at Family Hearing is a team of women balancing work, family, and the countless details in between. Their purses may hold lip balm, snacks, and a few surprises, but what they truly carry into each day is compassion, attentiveness, and a genuine desire to help people stay connected to the sounds, conversations, and moments that matter most.
“Their purses may hold the everyday essentials, but what these women truly carry is care, connection, and a quiet commitment to helping others stay close to the moments that matter most.”
