Workshop Facilitator and Author of “Spaghetti on the Wall,” Kristan Swan

Kristan Swan, M.Ed. is a life and spiritual guide who helps people come home to themselves. After years of coaching entrepreneurs and leaders to build successful, sustainable businesses, she now brings that same strategic clarity to a deeper kind of work: helping people create lives that feel aligned, honest, and true to who they are.

Kristan invites people to slow down and listen inward—to explore their deepest truths, question inherited beliefs, and reconnect with the inner wisdom they may have learned to ignore. She sees curiosity as a powerful practice: a way to meet life with openness, creativity, and compassion rather than fear or perfection.

Her approach is thoughtful and deeply human. Kristan doesn’t position herself as someone with all the answers; instead, she offers hard-won insight, meaningful questions, and practical tools that help people discover their own. Through her journals, workshops, and guided classes, she supports people in uncovering their stories, making aligned decisions, and embracing the beautifully imperfect process of becoming.

At the heart of her work is a simple truth: our pasts do not define us—they inform us. When we learn to honor where we’ve been, we create space to shape where we’re going. Kristan’s mission is both gentle and profound—to remind you that your story is still being written, and to help you move forward with courage, clarity, and intention.

Doors, windows, and arches

As a young photographer, I was drawn to doors, windows, and arches. I am still drawn to architectural details. The younger version of myself imagined myself in other places as a different person. The current version of myself feels at home.

Double Dutch

Double Dutch, two jump ropes twirling simultaneously in opposite directions for one or more jumpers, reminds me of starting a new school. Each time, I would be faced with new people, new systems, and new ins and outs. I would observe for as long as permitted, as long...
