Getting Married at 21 Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

We are joined by Kris Hillberg. Kris opens up about getting married at the age of 21, what led to that decision, and how it impacted her life.
Kris is very candid as she shares her personal experience with the organized religion that she grew up in, and her feelings about those experiences. This episode is in no way meant to offend anyone who has religious beliefs - we believe religion can offer community, guidance, and comfort and it can be a very powerful and meaningful part of someone’s life. This episode is not a generalization about religion as a whole, it is one person‘s experience.
If you believe you might be upset by hearing someone share about their personal experience relating to religion and no longer being a part of that religion, this episode is not for you. Our goal with this episode is to offer some support, insight, and laughter around this topic for anyone who might be or has been, in a similar situation that Kris was in. Tune in to discover the steps Kris took to pave her own way!
