On today's Drop the BS podcast episode, I am joined by New York Times Best-Selling Author Kristine Carlson, co-author of the “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” series. She has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The View, and The Today Show. Her life story has recently been turned into a Lifetime movie, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff: The Kristine Carlson Story".

Kristin walks us through her life story of how pain and loss has transformed her into living her best today story. She discusses her struggle to heal an eating disorder, her college experience, her marriage to the late Dr. Richard Carlson, and the unexpected loss of his life. Despite these challenges, Kristine learned how to accept the gifts from grief and find strength in her pain and now utilizes her experiences to become a light for many women going through difficult changes in their lives.
