In this episode, Kristan met with James Devine, for a candid conversation about resilience, reinvention, and finding purpose through unexpected turns.

Kristan opens up about an unpredictable childhood — one that, without her realizing it at the time, forged the very skills that would carry her into a successful career in business. She shares how those early challenges taught her adaptability, resourcefulness, and grit long before she had the language to name them.

Then the pandemic hit, and everything changed. Kristan walks us through what it was like to watch the foundation of her business world shift overnight, and how that disruption became the catalyst for a deeper transformation — one that led her away from traditional coaching and toward guiding others through questions of identity, purpose, and spirit.

If you’ve ever wondered how hardship can quietly prepare you for what’s next, or how a crisis can become a turning point rather than a setback, this conversation will leave you inspired and reflecting on your own story.
