Welcome to Episode 25 where we are so excited to have another guest on our podcast today! Kristen Schnall is connected to us both not only through grief but also through our obsession and love for health and wellness. The three of us have had some experiences that brought us together and bonded us in a way where we don’t need to explain ourselves, we just know each other’s hearts because of our tragedies.

Kristen joins us today to share the story of losing her dad to alcoholism when she was just 13 years old. She talks through some difficult feelings she experienced as a young girl- how she grieved before he actually died because he was not always there for her due to his disease, the relief she felt when he died because she would not have to worry about him anymore, and then the guilt she felt for feeling relief.

Listen in to find out how her grief resurfaces, what she is doing about it, and how her life has truly come full circle so that she can help others and find the good in her grief.

In this episode, you will hear:
-Kristen’s story of losing her dad at age 13
-The difficult feelings she had to deal with at a young age
-How she got help through her close family and a school counselor
-How her grief still resurfaces
-How her life has come full circle and how she helps others while finding the good in her grief
