    Kristen Louise Duncombe is a Paris-based therapist, coach, and author who joins VBB for a candid and deeply personal conversation exploring the complex journey of women’s self-empowerment through the lens of identity, boundaries, and the impact of societal expectations.

    Kristin shares her story of growing up as the child of a U.S. diplomat, constantly reinventing herself with each move, and navigating the lifelong effects of betrayal and trauma. She discusses how her struggle with boundaries led to self-objectification and how, with time and experience, she learned to claim her space and voice, even if it meant being labeled a “bitch.” The conversation dives into themes of objectification, the lingering pressure of female sexuality, the myth of sexual liberation, and the invisible power women discover with age.

    Honest, raw, and inspiring, this episode will resonate with anyone questioning the rules imposed on women and searching for the courage to reclaim their narrative. Whether you’re looking for insight, validation, or simply a sense of community, you’ll find something meaningful in this conversation.

    Jan 11 2026
    We (Christopher & Heather) have declared 2026 The Year Of The B.I.T.C.H., the evolution of a word that girls instinctively learn to avoid, and in fear of it, women inadvertently sacrifice their freedoms. Following eight years of talking with women who’ve shared their lived experiences with the word Bitch, we acknowledge the history of destruction it has brought to women's lives, but we have also discovered the strength some women take from the archetype. In 2026, VBB will dismantle the world, letter by letter, and what it has meant for women, and rebuild it into a woman’s source of wisdom and strength. We welcome you to The Year Of The B.I.T.C.H.
