On today's episode of Something True: An Honest podcast, I sit down for a candid conversation with my friend Kimberly Galindo. Kimberly and I met twenty years ago, when we were both students at the same university. Since that time, Kimberly has gone on to pursue multiple degrees and certifications as well as open her own practice.

Kimberly was born and raised in East Texas and now calls the Dallas area home along with her husband. She continues to seek personal and professional growth by sharing her passion, knowledge, and experience with others and teaches part-time as adjunct professor at Dallas Baptist University and serves as one of the instructors for the Institute of Sexual Wholeness. Kimberly also enjoys mentoring and leading a vibrant group of clinicians in her role as co-owner of Aspen Haus. You can hear from her weekly on her podcast Arable.
