The Expanding Soul
Hey! I’m Kristen and this is The Expanding Soul - a place where we explore growth, healing, and what it really means to become the best version of ourselves. This is a reflective podcast about expanding our souls and consciousness. Each episode is an honest conversation about growth - healing trauma, calming the nervous system, relationships, meaning, manifestation, science and the strange experience of being alive in a complicated world. This isn’t self-help from someone who has it all figured out. It’s a place where we can be our honest selves and learn together.
