TW: this episode contains material that may traumatizing for some audiences, although there are no graphic descriptions, there is discussions about physical, emotional, and mental abuse.

This week, we sit back down with Kristina, who continues to share her story, but this time about life after being adopted from Russia at the age of 13. Kristina shares her compelling story of transitioning from a Russian orphanage to a new family and life in America. She opens up about the challenges of adapting to a different culture, learning a new language, and finding her identity in an unfamiliar world. This episode provides a profound perspective on what it means to build a new life far from your beginnings and the resilience she continues to show no matter what hardships she faced. This episode is truly captivating and Kristina's strength, after all she shares in this episode, is unlike anyone I have ever known.
