About this listen

 Hey friends! It's Kristen Crisp here. I'm your middle-aged friend, talking about how I navigated a weird life of drinking, sobriety, love, and loss. All wrapped up in an ADHD brain full of chaos, kindness, and a heavy dose of sarcasm. In 2022, my big sister Robin died of cirrhosis after hiding her alcoholism so well that we were caught off guard by her death. This prompted me to start the NEWWD movement (great anagram, isn't it?). A place to bring a little insight with a touch of humor to humans over 50 through stories and information about wellness, sobriety, life, love, and loss.Kristen Crisp Self-Help Success

    Episode 4 - Sharing some inner gratitude
    Nov 26 2025

    When we think of gratitude, we think of being grateful of external things. What about inner gratitude? The act of being grateful for our own talents, abilities, and wins? No matter how big or small.

    Kristen shares some of the things she's been grateful for in her life. From her upbringing, to her sister's coming out, to toilet paper.

    She hopes to spark something in you to realize how the little things are things we shouldn't take for granted.

    Plus, there are some great prompts to bring to the Thanksgiving table!

    Here's a link to the story about her sister, mentioned in today's podcast:
