Talk with Kristen (with an e)
Join Kristen as she explores everything from burnout and the challenges of making friends, to lessons learned along the way—all served with a side of humor and a dash of nostalgia. Sometimes she’s flying solo, other times she’s joined by special guests, but it’s always a conversation worth having. Tune in—it’s like therapy, but without the bill.
