Hey there, I'm Kristen
Over a decade ago, during my yoga teacher training, I was in warrior two when my instructor said, “Notice your thoughts in this pose.”
Up until that moment, I thought thoughts just… happened.
The mental noise, the negative assumptions, the pressure, the stress spirals, the constant feeling of being behind — I assumed that was normal.
But that single observation unlocked something in me:
I could choose what I thought about myself and my life.
I became curious about how we experience our own lives — our patterns, our reactions, the stories we carry. I dove into books, podcasts, training, and eventually coaching work.
Not a life driven by expectations, productivity hacks, or keeping everyone else afloat.
A life you wake up to feeling present, grounded, and clear about what matters to you.
Overwhelm wasn’t my problem.
It was information.
From the outside, my life looked fine.
Through 1:1 coaching and my year-long program, Your Intentional Year, I guide you in reconnecting to what you want, making grounded decisions, and taking action to build a life that reflects it.
You don’t have to wait for burnout to change direction.
You don’t have to hit rock bottom to start living differently.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
In 2023, I sold nearly all of my things and took off on a nomadic adventure across the United States for 3.5 months, visiting many National Parks along the way.
After a few months of travel, I wanted to settle for a bit. I chose Montana to see if I could handle a northern winter – southern girl here – and I can now officially say I lived in Montana for almost two years.
These days, I’ve traded mountains for the Gulf Coast — where I recharge with salt air, white sand, and clear water.
To me, intentional living means choosing how you experience this one beautiful life.
And that’s the work I’m still practicing right alongside you.
Now – for the professional stuff...
Lastly – the fun stuff...
