Elizabeth joins Kristin as they discuss what it is like to survive grief and trauma, and to choose to rise above it. After many stabs at sobriety, Elizabeth bravely shares her journey, pitfalls, and the stories of the demons that she has courageously slayed along her path to healing.

Mollie bravely shares her candid story about being diagnosed with schizophrenia. When we were doing research for this show, it was so hard to find people willing to talk openly about it because it is so highly stigmatized. We took on the challenge to demystify this mental health diagnosis, as well as the substance use that often exists with such a serious diagnosis.

Mollie and Kristin have a life's mission to help erase stigmas, and we are starting with this courageous discussion about schizophrenia, substance use and stigma. Mollie is a Psychology student at the University of New Mexico, and came prepared with a vast amount of research to help illustrate the stigmas of schizophrenia and substance use.

Mollie Garnes is a New York Times Modern Love column contributor, and the book that she is featured in, "Tiny Love Stories" is available on Amazon and at Barnes and Noble.

Tona was a guest on the show in June of 2022. On the day of her live coaching episode, she made a commitment to begin her recovery journey.

Today, we got to catch up, 14 months later!

We talk about the challenges of being sober when your partner still drinks, how to manage boundaries, and what happens after the "1 Year" milestone.

Tona's original guest appearance from June of 2022 is linked below:

I told you to ask me ANYTHING.... and these two listeners took me up on my offer. One asked about the side effects of MDMA, specifically for therapeutic use with a psychotherapist, and the other asked about the safety of Kratom.

I answer both of these questions as thoroughly as possible, in an effort to minimize stigma and shame, while giving valuable and pertinent safety information at the same time.

Let me know if you would like further discussions on these topics, or if you would like to be a guest on the Last Call WIth Kristin podcast.

When Kristin heard Mel Robbin's talk about the "Let Them" Theory on a podcast, a lightbulb went off in her head. She has (admittedly) been doing it all wrong in dating, relationships and friendships.

She learned about the "Let Them" theory, applied it to her life, and saw a complete shift in how she shows up in the world, and how less complicated her life became. She realized, she was no longer in charge of teaching and instructing people how to treat her, and she can choose her own behavior accordingly.

Kristin also shares a discussion about belonging, and why belonging is so important to us as humans. How to belong without losing yourself in the process is the topic of the discussion.

According to research by Author and Relationship Expert, Esther Perel, more than half of men and women are doing it or are being affected by it. So why don't we talk about it? Because of the stigma. Kristin dispels the myths around cheating, infidelity and relationships and shares a very personal story from her past, in an effort to help further remove the stigma around cheating.

I got you! We deep-dive into how to manage this dynamic by using effective communication, boundaries and "rules of engagement", in addition to positive reinforcement to have a relationship that works for everyone.

We also have a conversation about screen addiction, especially with kids who are home from school during the Summer.

Fresh out of her own romantic breakup, Kristin dives into the research behind why breakups feel like addiction withdrawal. She explains in great detail, the science and psychology behind heartache, and why it is so similar to addiction withdrawal. Giving hope to anyone who has recovered from detox or withdrawal from addictive substances or behaviors, that they can use the same tools to recover from their breakup, is what helped Kristin turn her pain into a life giving purpose.

Kristin and Rose met in a recovery support group in 2020, and immediately saw similarities in their style of "out loud and proud" recovery journeys.

When Rose experienced the unfathomable loss of her daughter in 2017, she describes this time in her life as the "dark side."

In honor of her daughter, her other children, her daughter's children, and her wife, she chose to turn her life into one that is thriving, and inspiring others daily.

Listen to her story of survival, healing, indescribable courage and bravery to find the collateral beauty, and in becoming unshakeable.

As childhood best friends, Barbara and Kristin were fixtures in each other's homes, churches, and families for more than four decades. Both, are childhood survivors of religious trauma. In this episode, we discuss childhood memories of corporal punishment, terrifying Bible stories, films and rhetoric, and how fear and shame were constant threads woven through our early childhoods as a result of religious trauma. We refer often to the recent documentary, "Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets", which inspired this podcast episode.

Kristin describes the grooming process and gives very detailed instructions on how parents can protect their kids from predators within religious organizations, as well as any organization including fellowships, recovery groups and sports organizations. She also outlines guidelines that organizations can put into place to protect children from grooming and sexual abuse.

********TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault, drugs and alcohol*******

Kristin reads a chapter from her book that she is writing about healing from sexual trauma. One of her stories includes sexual assault at the hands of a youth pastor in her church, when she was 15. Bravely, Kristin reads directly from the pages of the chapter that she wrote to describe this incident, and the way that the church mishandled the fallout.

Sarah Grace and Kristin have a powerful discussion about the masks that we wear as survivors of trauma, that began as protective mechanisms. When we begin to wear our mask, break ourselves into small and digestible pieces in order to please everyone around us, it damages us. Sarah is the founder of Living Limitlessly, where she serves her clients and the community by helping them find freedom after sexual abuse. A survivor of incest, herself, Sarah has committed her life's work to helping people heal through trauma-informed hypnosis, as well as through other healing modalities. 

Both Kristin and Sarah are survivors, and discuss their unique trauma healing journeys, in order to give hope, healing, awareness and tools to other survivors.

**********TRIGGER WARNING********* Sexual assault, drugs and alcohol

Kristin and Peggy met when she interviewed Kristin during her Trauma to Triumph Summit earlier this year. Peggy designed the summit for women who are survivors of sexual trauma, to be able to share their stories in a safe space, and bring awareness to the healing modalities that they used to heal their trauma. 

In this interview, Peggy bravely and courageously shares with us her own story of surviving incest and sexual assault. We share a similar path, in how our abuse turned into addiction. As survivors, we are well aware that "secrets breed sickness", and she eloquently shares how she was able to overcome her sickness and secrets. It is a story of bravery, strength, healing and hope, and it is an honor to share this interview with all of you! 

My life's purpose is to give survivors of sexual trauma HOPE for healing. In this interview, I discuss my Trauma to Triumph journey with Peggy McIntyre, another sexual trauma survivor with the same purpose in her life. We discuss many angles of my trauma stories from religious dysfunction, to healing my body and heart spiritually, physically and emotionally. We discuss in depth the brain-body connection, why meditation is difficult for some survivors, and how to use somatic healing to integrate our brain and body. 

If you, or someone that you love is a survivor of sexual trauma, please share this episode with them, so that they can learn about the different healing modalities that are available to them, and to offer them hope that they can also grow from trauma to triumph!

***********TRIGGER WARNING**********

Suicide, suicidal ideation, self-harm, drugs, alcohol

In the wake of our collective grieving over the loss of Stephen "Twitch" Boss, I felt compelled to record this episode about how to help someone who is suicidal. In order to bring you the most complete guideline, I begin the episode by sharing my own experience with suicidal ideation and self-harm at the end of my active addiction, proving that suicidal ideation does not discriminate- it can happen to anyone, even someone who was a volunteer for the Crisis Text Line and the Trevor Project, like I was. 

I interviewed Joree Rose, a psychologist and friend, who gave me several tips on how to help your children, students and friends grieve the loss of someone who has died by suicide. 

I also interviewed another dear friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, who is a survivor of several suicide attempts. I asked her to tell me what a person who is suicidal truly needs, and her answers were incredibly helpful, courageous and impactful. 

Please, please with a cherry on top, share this episode to raise awareness and provide support!!

Two worlds collided when I met James in a workshop last year. I was honored when he agreed to record this episode with me- the very first time where I have become the "client" on the show. What you will watch unfold in real-time, no edits, is a session where James guided me through some residual stuck trauma in my life and in my body. It is powerful, riveting, enlightening and inspiring to have hope and the possibility of healing this wound. Which we did, gratefully.

James is a Master Coach, and graduate of Elementum Coaching Institute. His life's purpose is to guide people on a spiritual journey into their heart to uncover the pain and trauma that is holding them back from realizing their deepest gifts to the world and to their relationships. 

Working mostly with women with histories of abuse, James creates a soft space for the healing process to unfold softly and at the rate and speed that is perfect for each person. 

This is a sample of the guided meditation that I have been using nightly to deepen the healing of my trauma wound, as referenced in the show:  https://youtu.be/VtJur7PGUz0

Kristin and Cristina... two moms in an upscale suburban California town that met in a yoga class. Easy to picture, right? The correlation between these two mothers is that both struggled with an addiction to alcohol. From the sidelines of Little League to playdates, their Starbuck's Venti cups were full of Chardonnay, just like a large portion of the other moms in their circles. 

In an incredibly transparent and brave conversation, we dissect the messages that we received from alcohol marketing throughout the time we became mothers. Kristin shares how close she was to not being here for her kids, at one point. There are a lot of laughs, some strong emotions, and throughout the entire episode, hard truths about what's really going on with "mommy wine culture" in your little town. 

Cristina makes a powerful and honest statement when she exclaims, "Parenting is no joke!" To which, I wholeheartedly agree!

I have always know that she was an adult child of an alcoholic parent, and she has shared with me many times over the years how it has affected her as an adult. She graciously agreed to share part of her journey with us on this episode, in hopes that another child of an alcoholic parent will know that they are not alone, their feelings are valid, and that they are not wrong.

I have a very touching, candid, and brave interview with her adult daughter Avery, and family friend, Rose. Avery grew up with both parents struggling with addiction, and Rose grew up with a father who struggled with addiction. Both women share insights into their relationships with their parents, how it affected them, and what they wish other parents would know about how their alcohol use affects their children. The conversation is bold and there were no stones left unturned- all things were placed on the table. I am certain that you will be as proud of these strong and courageous women as I was! -Coach Kristin

Inspired after watching the Netflix film, "Luckiest Girl Alive", Kristin defines what it means to be diagnosed with PTSD. She goes beyond the actual definition and symptoms and discusses characteristics and behaviors that accompany the diagnosis. Leaning upon examples from her own healing journey from sexual trauma and her PTSD diagnosis, she shares a "bird's-eye view" of what it feels like to live with this diagnosis. In order to offer hope and healing, she also shares different healing modalities that survivors can turn to to help them process their trauma and ultimately relieve themselves of the PTSD diagnosis.

Kristin explains how the first time she heard about the "Gifts of Trauma", she was insulted and furious that anyone could insinuate that there is any sort of gift to our trauma. Upon further consideration, she took the time to tease out what her gifts might be, and how she uses them in the important work that she does within the recovery community and with other survivors of abuse. With added insight from two women she admires, Maya Angelou and Brene Brown, she shares what has been a valuable and ultimately healing lesson on what it means to find the gifts of trauma.

Kristin shares a secret about how to use powerful words to motivate yourself. "I HAVE to...." or "I should" can quickly turn into a shame-spiral. This method helps you to nip that in the bud, and fulfill your commitments to yourself and to others. She also talks about the power of talking to ourselves with kindness and compassion. The difference in how our body, our actions, and our thoughts follow these tiny and mighty word changes makes a remarkable difference in our self-worth, confidence and commitments.
