Heal. Discover. Empower

Hey there, welcome to my little corner of the internet!

 

You've juggled the dorm assignments and course enrollments. You've created the perfect welcome week and orientation to jumpstart their college experience. Now we need to talk about the next challenges your incoming college students face. From the overwhelming burden of choosing a major to the daunting task of navigating career paths, juggling financial responsibilities and let's not forget about the importance of forming mature relationships amidst the chaos of newfound independence. Whew. As someone who's been through it all, I understand the struggles firsthand.

That's where I come in. When you hire me to speak to your students, I bring more than just words. I bring solutions. With a focus on empowering students to confidently embrace adulthood, I address these pain points head-on. Through engaging talks filled with practical advice and heartfelt encouragement, I guide students towards finding their path, building resilience, and fostering meaningful connections.

So, if you're ready to equip your students with the tools they need to thrive in college and beyond, let's chat. Together, we'll create a welcoming environment where students feel supported, inspired, and ready to tackle whatever challenges come their way.

About Kristi

Hey there! I'm Kristi, and I'm all about empowering the next generation to kickstart their journey with confidence and purpose. 

My background? Well, I started off in Education, teaching everything from preschool to college. There's just something magical about seeing students grow and connect in the classroom.


Then, I took a dive into the world of Public Health. Guess what? I found myself still educating and mentoring, but this time in healthcare. That led me to delve into health and wellness coaching, where I've been helping folks make transformative changes ever since.


Oh, and did I mention I'm a bit of an entrepreneur too? Yup, I've founded three successful businesses, and let me tell you, the challenge and creativity of entrepreneurship? I love every bit of it.


On the home front, I love spending time with my daughter and a menagerie of pets. I love all kinds of dance, Nutella, football, crazy fun earrings, and red high heels.


All these experiences fuel my drive to empower the next generation. I truly believe that together, we can make a positive change in the world. So, join me on this journey where we blend education, health advocacy, and a sprinkle of entrepreneurial spirit to create something truly impactful. Let's shape a future filled with confidence, purpose, and endless possibilities!

Your Mosaic Journey: Learning to embrace the pieces of yourself and your life

Each of us are more than simply the sum total of our parts- our relationships, our careers, our backgrounds, etc. Starting college is the perfect time to take a second look at the beautiful pieces of yourself and consciously decide to create a mosaic out of your life.

Shedding Shame and Stepping into Your New Skin

Whether we realize it or not, we all carry shame with us- that nagging thought that we aren’t good enough. And now you are excited to step into this new version of yourself- as a college student and an adult, yet the patterns and thoughts from before seem to be holding you back. Kristi shares practical tools to shed the shame and deliberately step into the best version of yourself.
