Why We Need Each Other with Kristina Krug

“I’ve worked by myself and had a very solo journey in the last four years. I started realizing that I needed community around me. [Having that support] motivates me to go out there and to work out, to eat healthy, to just be confident in everything else I’m doing.” –Kristina Krug
