    In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode, Katrina opens up about the emotional journey she’s been on over the past few months—traveling back and forth to be with her family as her mother-in-law faced serious illness, and ultimately, the weight of saying goodbye.

    Through raw reflection and honest conversation, she shares what it’s like to navigate grief in real time while still showing up for life, family, and purpose. This episode also explores the importance of having your affairs in order—those conversations we often avoid, but that can make all the difference when the unexpected happens.

    Katrina also dives into the reality that grief doesn’t look the same for everyone. We all process loss differently, and learning to hold space for those differences—without judgment—is a powerful part of healing.

    This is a vulnerable, grounding episode about love, loss, preparation, and giving yourself (and others) the grace to grieve in your own way.

    Krystal returns to the mic to share the raw, emotional story of her second trip to Oregon to see her biological father. What was supposed to be another visit quickly became something much heavier—filled with reflection, unspoken feelings, and moments that challenged her in ways she didn’t expect.

    She opens up about what it’s like navigating a relationship that’s still new, yet rooted in a lifetime of questions. From the anticipation leading up to the trip, to the emotional weight of being face-to-face again, Krystal gives an honest look at what reconnection really feels like—not the highlight reel, but the real, messy, human side of it.

    This episode is about more than just a trip—it’s about identity, healing, and what happens when the past finally meets the present.

    It’s vulnerable. It’s powerful. And it’s one you don’t want to miss.

    In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Katrina sits down with Pete D from Pete vs Anxiety for a raw conversation about mental health, healing, and the courage it takes to speak up.

    Pete opens up about his personal journey, including the lasting impact of abandonment at just 10 years old, and how those early experiences shaped his struggles with anxiety and self-worth. Rather than letting his past define him, Pete turned his pain into purpose—creating a platform that not only shares his story but helps others feel seen, heard, and understood.

    Together, Katrina and Pete dive into the importance of having real conversations about mental health, especially when it comes to men’s mental health—a topic that is often overlooked or silenced. Pete shares how vulnerability became his strength, the inspiration behind his podcast, and why breaking the stigma can truly save lives.

    This episode is real, relatable, and inspiring—showing how even the hardest experiences can be transformed into something that helps others heal.
