Unpacking the baggage we all carry.
The real, messy, beautiful parts of life & the baggage we all carry.
Hosted by Kirstie Nicole, She Comes With Baggage is a space for honest conversations with friends, creatives and diverse voices whose stories deserve to be heard.
From identity and relationships to personal growth, mental health and the journey toward authenticity, each episode makes room for the parts of life that rarely fit into a neat caption.
At a time when so many stories are being silenced, this show amplifies different perspectives and reminds us that we are far more connected than we may realize.
