  • Getting Married at 21 with Kris Hillberg

    We are joined by Kris Hillberg. Kris opens up about getting married at the age of 21, what led to that decision, and how it impacted her life. Kris is very candid as she shares her personal experience with the organized religion that she grew up in, her feelings about those experiences, and the steps she took to leave that religion. This episode is not intended to offend anyone who has religious beliefs - we believe religion can offer community, guidance, and comfort, and can be a very powerful and meaningful part of someone’s life. This episode is not a generalization about religion as a whole, it is one person‘s experience. We hope this episode provides some support, insight, and laughter around shedding beliefs that no longer serve you, finding authenticity, and starting over.
