TW: sexual assault, mental health, body image

Today's episode deals with some pretty controversial topics, but Kristen's experience is her own and it deserves to be shared for others just like her. We chat about how her religious upbringing impacted her body image and self esteem and left her holding a lot of shame after experiencing sexual assault at the hands of a trusted church member. Kristen is now an advocate for women, using her feisty nature to help women rebel against strict double standards through her work as a body image coach and photographer.
