As a therapist, I have done tons of training in human development. Kristan stands out for her genuine empathy and interest in all that makes you who you are. Above all, she is witty, just laugh out loud funny. She lights up the room.
I have used her Spaghetti On the Wall workbook with clients and they say the reflections slow them down, turn inward and think differently about themselves and their relationships. The workbook is effective and to the point. I can’t wait for her next one.

The squishy in-betweens is what I call those times after you have made a choice, you know what you want to do, and you have identified the desired outcome. Now you have the squishy in-betweens. The time when you actually have to get to work on the...

I have a wise friend. She is stealthy, not showy. Her personality is outgoing; most people who meet her would describe her as an extrovert. I have the privilege of knowing better, knowing her better. She is an introvert and a master of deflection. ...
My husband tells a story of his dad as a young boy taking public transportation to watch a sports game. In the story, his parents remind the young boy to talk to as many strangers as possible on the train. It is a sweet story and feels a bit like a...
Making a decision is part of the process-not the destination. Too often we feel pressured to make a decision with the sense of it being the final destination when in reality decision making is part of the journey. I have recognized this tendency...
I have been thinking about the various types of decision makers-my girlfriend and colleague told a great story the other day at lunch. She is a microwave and her husband is a crockpot. What if we could all be insta-pot-make a variety of decisions...
