They paused. They pivoted. But they never gave up.

This week on Kandid Konversations with Ms. Krystal, we're celebrating the ones who came back for what was theirs. In this special graduation episode, Krystal honors the nontraditional grads who fought through life's interruptions—motherhood, caretaking, self-doubt, and setbacks—to finally finish what they started.

And this one hits home. Krystal's own twin sister, Kristen Goodner, and cousin Kiri Mitchell just earned their degrees, proving that it's never too late to walk in purpose and finish strong. If you've ever thought about going back, or if you're in the middle of your comeback—this episode is for YOU.
