From the ancient temples of Greece to the vibrant streets of post-WWII New York City, the Divine Flame Trilogy by Kristin Charalambidis explores the oft-cited and debated notion that human beings are not bodies that have souls, but souls that have bodies, an energetic force that can be neither created nor destroyed. In these strong female protagonist-centered inspirational historical fiction works, Kristin weaves mindfulness and mental health principles throughout rich, action-packed, dialogue-driven stories of women’s empowerment. Following one such soul as she navigates struggles, triumphs, and intertwined fates along the path to her divine destiny and across pivotal moments in history, The Divine Flame Trilogy is a profound exploration of the resilience of the human spirit that illuminates the timeless quest for purpose and the enduring bonds of human connection that link us through the ages in a whole new light.
Book one, The Phoenix and the Ash is available now in hardcover, paperback, and on Kindle, and Kristin is currently at work on book two of the trilogy.

Out is Through: Personal Experiences and Therapy Soundbites is a therapy-themed podcast hosted by Kristin Charalambidis, LPC incorporating shared personal anecdotes and reflections on what they’ve taught us about ourselves from a therapeutic perspective. These anecdotes come both from Kristin herself and guests via intimate heart-to-hearts. Other episodes focus on providing behind-the-scenes strategies from licensed clinicians, psychoeducational talks on common themes that come up in therapy, and addressing therapy newbies’ FAQ’s and fears. Because the only way out is through, and sharing, connecting, and gaining new insights is how we can feel less alone in our experiences.
