MindShape
MindShape hosts Joey Braun and Avery Chatman ask everyday people to answer difficult questions about their past traumas. After helping over 80 people share traumatic stories, it's clear that vulnerability is the bridge that connects people. Their goal is to empower their guests and inspire the people who listen to their stories. All the stories told are about trauma, which means episodes will contain life-sensitive content.

Kristen Means was an all-around athlete growing up, all she wanted to do was play sports and compete. Everything was great until when she was in her teens she got hurt and the injury never healed right. Kristen kept getting hurt over the next decade and couldn't quite understand why. She was eventually diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which is a disorder of the connective tissue which is caused by the body not making enough collagen.
