We’re excited to share the first episode of our new podcast, “Kenosis Conversations”!
In this first episode, we explore how a life-altering moment in a hospital hallway changed everything for Kenosis owner Christine Turo-Shields.
We trace her journey from a STEM-bound high schooler to a career in social work and addiction counseling—sparked by seeing a friend after a suicide attempt. Along the way: navigating class and cultural divides, early volunteer work in residential treatment, a mentor’s lesson that “pain is pain,” imposter feelings in practice, and how faith and providence shaped a vocation.
If you’re curious about becoming a therapist, working in recovery, or simply how we connect across different life experiences, this story is for you!
