Episode 54 (Part 1) - I Started Coaching at 21 in a Sorority House. 11 Years Later, Here's What Actually Matters
Alright, ladies… we’re celebrating 11 years of coaching.
And I knew this deserved a well-earned two-part episode because this isn’t just about business — this is about who you become when you actually commit to your growth.
I’ve coached people in their teens, people in their 70s, CEOs, moms, entrepreneurs, and humans just trying to figure out how to live, love, regulate their emotions, and build lives they actually want.
And if there’s one thing I know after 11 years, it’s this:
you cannot do this work and not be changed by it.
In Part 1, I’m taking you back to 21-year-old Kristi coaching in a sorority house at 9pm, and sharing the deeper lessons that shaped how I lead, how I build community, and why Wealthy Woman exists.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
✨ Why coaching fast-tracked my life
✨ The moment I chose growth over fitting in
✨ Why coaching is a privilege, not a title
✨ How my first client changed everything for me
✨ What “your life card” really means
✨ Why attachment creates suffering — and desire creates freedom
✨ The intention I live by: a home in myself I never want to leave
If you feel like you’re at a pivot point or ready to grow in a bigger way I want to invite you to book a free connection call and we’ll look at what would actually support you right now.
