Kristen grew up in a whirlwind—an unstable home, few real friendships, no roadmap for relationships, and zero tools to cope. That chaos followed her into adulthood, where alcoholism and homelessness nearly took everything. In this episode, she walks us through the roots of her pain, how addiction stole years of her life, and the unexpected moment her twin brother tricked her into starting the path to sobriety. Now a new mom, she’s rewriting the story—healing her inner child, breaking cycles, and embracing a growth mindset she never knew was possible. Raw, reflective, and full of hard-earned hope
