This episode is a powerful exploration of resilience, hope, and the courage to rebuild after unimaginable loss. Montel is joined by Kristen Moeller, MS—psychologist, three-time TEDx speaker, and author of Phoenix Rising.
Kristen’s personal story of loss in the 2012 Colorado wildfire shaped her unshakable advocacy for those navigating trauma and recovery. Together, Montel and Kristen unpack the raw reality of losing everything—from grief to renewal—and how storytelling and community can transform tragedy into strength. They'll discuss the inspiring stories of the 20 women featured in Phoenix Rising, whose journeys exemplify resilience and recovery in the wake of devastation.
Listen in as Kristen shares hard-earned wisdom on balancing vulnerability with courage, the vital role of community in healing, and why resilience isn’t a destination—it’s an ongoing process. Whether you’re facing personal challenges or seeking inspiration, this episode highlights the power of heart, hope, and the human spirit.
