To humanize the way we work and live
so that every person can enjoy a happy + successful career
A Different Kind of Thinking.
Early in my career I noticed that corporate America didn’t seem very human. I watched too many people regret trading their happiness for a promotion. But why is it one or the other?
I believe we can be both happy and successful at the same time, that unleashing our humanness actually fuels even more success. And, that our humanness, not our ability to separate from it, is both our path to happiness in our lives and our competitive advantage in our work.
It’s the integrating of our life and work that is a super power, not the separating of it.
About Kristina.

While healing and finding happiness.
She brings a rich personal experience to every endeavor. Kristina was born addicted to cocaine due to her biological mother’s addiction and lived in the foster care system for the first several years of her life. Shortly after being adopted, both of her adoptive parents also developed drug addictions, leaving Kristina to navigate a life of extensive domestic abuse that included several years of sex trafficking. By the age of 16 she was sleeping in her car at a park because it was safer than her bedroom. Even at a young age, she knew that she had the power to change her life and she worked diligently to learn to love herself and to create a life of peace and belonging. She went from sleeping in a car at 16 to owning her own home at 26. As she began to forge her path, she found that the things that helped her heal and find happiness in her life were the same approaches that led to breakthroughs in her career.
Passionate about helping others.
Kristina spent over 20 years and thousands of hours combing the world for the tools required to live freely and fully at her best. Sharing her experiences and learnings with others to help them create their own healthy, authentic, and functional lives and careers is her passion. She began motivational speaking at the age of 14 and has presented to audiences as small as one and as large as over 4,500. Individual coaching became a part of her career in 2012 and team coaching outside of her own teams in 2016. In 2019 she opened her company to expand her services outside of her employer and by 2020 completed the graduate Executive and Professional Coaching program at University of Texas at Dallas and became a member of the International Coaching Federation. In 2023 she left her corporate job to coach full time. At the crux of it all is her drive to humanize the way we work and give people the support they need to truly enjoy happy + successful careers.
