Hi, I’m Kristen.

I’m a life and leadership coach. I care about tending to what makes us feel alive and building lives around that.

I know what it’s like to be on a path that looks great on the outside but it’s slowly eating away at you on the inside. To have the deep knowing that your soul is meant for much more and that things need to change, but feeling stuck and frustrated in your current circumstances despite all your efforts.

At some point, after endless overthinking and doubting myself, I realized that 1) I would never feel ready because readiness was a decision, and 2) I would never find what I was looking for out there because I was always meant to create it in here.

Brick by brick, alongside lots of fear, I began to build a life and career that actually felt like me. One that was weird, spiritual, artistic, and very deep. One that was an ongoing creative act centered around freedom, connection, creativity, and impact. One where I could wake up, actually do what I love for a living, and create real impact in people’s lives.

Now, I support ambitious, creative individuals in anchoring into their truth and quieting overthinking so they can feel confident, grounded, and excited about the unfolding of their careers and their lives.

Lately, I’ve been using aliveness as my compass and feeling held by how it accepts all of me. I discovered that everything I desire in life – the career, the home, the relationship – is in an effort to feel more alive on a moment by moment basis. That sparkly aliveness within? That is my why.

Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.” – Hafez

I offer 1:1 coaching to folks that are ready to create lasting change in their lives.

“If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.”

– David Bowie

From ‘To Bless the Space Between Us’ by John O’Donohue:

In the out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life’s desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.
