In this episode, Krista shares her journey with alcohol consumption, and why she stopped drinking alcohol during her spiritual awakening when she was 26 years old. She also dives into what she noticed about herself, others and the world while she was still drinking versus what she noticed when she adopted a sober-living lifestyle. 

Krista shares her heart—how she yearned for more than just surface-level conversations, as well as how we should be thoughtful and truthful with ourselves about how we’re spending our time when we want to pursue our dreams and live a life we love.
