Beschrijving

This week, the mic turns to one of our own. Holly and Sara sit down in Nashville with their co-host, and birthday girl Kirstyn Hairston for the story you've never heard her tell, at least not like this. From sorting rotten tomatoes on a cannery belt at 12, to dancing in Vegas as a midnight ballerina, to selling Budget Blinds out of a purple minivan, to building Sitka in her garage and launching KUIU, Kirstyn's hustle has always run loud. But behind every win was a story no one saw: her husband Jason, a former NFL player, slowly disappearing into CTE. Kirstyn gets fully honest about the diagnosis, 15 years of marriage counseling, the six years she couldn't leave him alone with their kids, losing him at 47, and the girlfriends who literally got in bed with her and stayed. It's funny. It's devastating. It's the woman behind the co-host chair, fully unfiltered. Grab your girls. This one stays with you.
