Kirsten Haglund, Miss America 2008, didn’t always have the confidence to step onstage and compete in the nation’s most prestigious pageant. Now 21, a crowned champion, talented musician, tireless advocate, and founder of the Kirsten Haglund Foundation, she still remembers all too well the difficult days before she chose recovery. Kirsten began struggling with her eating disorder in her teens. But then she had to make a choice. Kirsten chose life. She chose recovery. She chose her dreams. And look at her today! In this moving and powerful teleconference, Kirsten will share her story, answer your questions, give insight into her work to raise treatment scholarship money and lobby for healthcare reform, and most importantly convey the message that it is what is on the inside that makes our beauty shine – and last!

I LOVED this. I related in so many ways. From the ballet background to attending the same summer program she attended, and it is always fabulous to hear stories of recovery, even more amazing when you can relate it to yourself and your experiences. Thank you Kirsten!!
