Description

In this episode of Critical Conversations, Karissa dives into a word that carries deep emotional weight: victim. She shares her personal experience of how being labeled with that word early in her divorce was one of the most painful and damaging moments—and why it’s so important to be mindful of how we use it.

Karissa explores the two very different types of victims that exist and offers a compassionate reminder that language has power. This episode invites us to look deeper, to listen more carefully, and to speak with greater awareness.

A raw, human conversation about impact, empathy, and reclaiming your story.
