In this milestone episode of The Unsweetened Truth Podcast, Kristen reflects on five years of business ownership—the highs, the heartbreaks, and everything in between. She pulls back the curtain on the sacrifices no one talks about, the moments that nearly broke her, and the unexpected rewards that make it all worth it. If you’re building something of your own or questioning whether to keep going, this episode is the reminder you didn’t know you needed: it’s hard—but it’s worth it.
