Summary

Who do you call when it feels like your world is falling apart? Do you share your struggles with trusted friends or is it hard to open up about what is going on in your life?

Toward the end of her first marriage Kristen Glass broke a habit she’d had for years - struggling silently. For years she suffered alone, carrying shame for her actions and circumstances that left her feeling condemned and isolated. All that changed one weekend in Utah when she found the courage to tell a friend her story. That simple act of speaking up freed her to see the truth of who God made her to be and His great love for her. Join me for her story that has dark times and places but is also filled with the hope of redemption and restoration that only God can bring.

0:00.0	Hey y'all, welcome back to the Don't Mom Loan podcast. I'm your host Heather McFadian and
0:12.1	this is the place where I get to walk alongside you and connect you with people and resources
0:16.6	so you know that you don't mom alone. And in this episode, number 427, I've invited
0:23.7	the show My Friend Kristen Glass. That was God, like God orchestrated and I could take that stage
0:30.8	the very next day knowing so clearly my purpose. I know I was put on this planet to make other
0:37.5	women specifically feel not alone in their marriage struggles and their codependency and their
0:45.2	anxiety and their overspending and their overeating and their over drinking. Today, my friend Kristen
0:52.7	is going to share her story and my question for you is who do you call when it feels like your
0:58.8	world is falling apart? Do you share your struggles with trusted friends or is it hard to open up
1:04.7	about what's actually going on in your life? Towards the end of her first marriage, Kristen
1:09.9	broke a habit she'd had for years which was struggling silently. She was carrying shame
1:15.6	for her actions and the circumstances that left her feeling condemned and isolated.
1:20.3	All that changed one weekend when she finally found the courage to tell a friend her story.
1:26.3	We hope that by Kristen sharing her story that if you are in a place where you're not okay and
1:32.0	something's going on that that encourages you to do the same thing to find a friend to tell someone
1:37.1	because shame loves to live in the shadows and it is through community that we break free and we
1:43.1	find the hope and the healing that we need through people and through God. And so let's get right to
1:48.2	my conversation with Kristen. Here we go. Kristen. Welcome to the Don't Mom Alone podcast.
1:56.8	Thank you. I am so excited to be here. So excited to be here with you.
2:02.2	I have lots of different types of episodes. People know this. I'll sometimes have counselors on
2:06.8	to give us some advice as parents. I'll have mentors on who've gone a step before me and I also
2:12.7	have a lot of friends who give testimony of what God's done in their life. And today is a testimony.
