Twisted Thinking
Life is hard. Staying sane is harder. With relatable stories, realistic positivity, and plenty of self-deprecating humor, Twisted Thinking Host Kristin Waters aims to limber up your mind and help you rethink your struggles as she takes negative and frustrating experiences from her own life and twists them around to make them work for her. In addition, there's no shortage of healthy criticisms for some of the most popular positivity quotes, platitudes, and motivational memes based, of course, on nothing but pure opinion.
