How to Be Fine

The Duggars and the IBLP


Listen Later

On this episode of How to Be Fine, Kristen and Jolenta dive into the Duggar Family and their involvement in the religious cult the Institute of Basic Life Principles. The ladies break down the revelations that Jinger Duggar reveals in her bestselling book Become Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear, and the shame and social anxiety she experienced growing up. Plus, Kristen and Jolenta answer advice questions about emotional hoarding and helping a friend manage chronic pain.
