What's in this episode?
Today's episode is the first in another two part interview. Kristen Feemster joins us on the podcast to talk about her view on diversity in recovery, mental health and how it applies to to the black community and why fitness has been her saving grace.
In this episode we talk about:
- Kristen's backstory of being a rising basketball athlete, a straight A student and how lack of structure led her to down the path to alcoholism
- Why Kristen decided to be honest about her recovery with her fitness and mental health clients
- Lack of diversity in recovery places and how that can unintentionally alienate people of color that want to get (and remain) clean
Tune in next week to hear the second half, where we will discuss the benefits of recovery and how it has impacted not only Kristen's life but career.
