So honest

I love Kristi’s podcast because she did not leave any details off air. I love how she is so honest about her feelings, stresses and the struggles she had leading up to the competitions. The enormous amount of pressure is not for everyone. So, thank you Kristi for choosing the path, which not many of us are courageous enough to. Your passion to do what you love is truly inspiring!
