Episode Summary Back in February, friend of the podcast, Jannike (@eat.run.reiki), suggested that Krista and Stacey do an episode on books that changed their lives. In this episode, they explore books that have profoundly impacted their lives, challenging their perspectives and fostering growth. They share personal stories about how these books influenced their understanding of vulnerability, belonging, spirituality, and self-discovery, offering listeners valuable insights and recommendations.
