  • Curiosity Over Judgement | The Broke Girl Society w/Christina Cook
    Sep 6 2024

    “It’s my hope that we can erase the stigma and shame so women will feel safe seeking the help they need without fear of judgement” - Broke Girl Society founder, Christina Cook.

    The BGS offers a “judgement free zone” for women in recovery from problem gambling. Christina recognized early in her own journey that what she craved most was deep connections with other women who had walked a similar path. It’s in this spirit that she set about establishing a safe environment for women to share and compare their unique stories.
