Kristen Hogan was last seen on the podcast in "Good, Strong, and Brave with Kristen Hogan" where she recounted her experience with surviving intimate partner violence. As a founder of Good.Strong.Brave, Kristen wants to empower other women to feel good enough as they are. Part of that is having the resiliency to go on in spite of the trauma we as survivors have endured. It is from our pain that we gain wisdom about who we are and what the world is. But that wisdom can hold uncomfortable truths, and Kristen and I speak on how our worldviews changed after our encounters with sexual violence and why resiliency helped us stay on the path of healing.
