About this episode

A Story of Reclamation

Kristen Girard is a Luminary Artist, Healing Guide, and Speaker who through art and story helps you see the joy, wonder, and beauty of who you are.

But inside of today's episode, it's Kristen's past that we focus on... Beginning to truly understand the story behind the artist, the guide, and the speaker. And the truth is, the past is often times a difficult place to go back to.

You will hear Kristen reflect back on a single moment when she was just 3 years old that would impact the rest of her life. You will feel Kristen's emotions as she relives the experience of being told she had Diabetes.

But most importantly, you will begin to hear the power tucked down deep inside of Kristen that has allowed her to emerge from life's most difficult challenges like a Phoenix!
