Kristin: Running the Race of Her Life
I’ve always believed that life’s greatest challenges offer us the opportunity to discover our true strength. As a competitive marathoner and Ironman athlete, I spent years pushing my body and mind to the limit. But nothing could have prepared me for the toughest race of my life—when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and Dystonia. In the blink of an eye, I went from competing on the world stage to struggling with even the simplest daily tasks.
​
Instead of letting these diagnoses define me, I chose to fight back—with Grit, Purpose, and Strength. Through this journey, I realized that the same mindset I applied as an athlete could empower me to overcome any obstacle, and it’s the mindset I’m passionate about sharing with others. That’s why I developed the GPS Mindset—a powerful tool designed to help others navigate their own challenges and unlock their full potential.

Today, as a board-certified health and wellness coach with a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology, I’ve dedicated my life to helping individuals and teams rise above adversity, build resilience, and thrive both personally and professionally. I couldn't have done this without the support of my amazing husband, Ryan, and my two boys, Logan and Lucas. Their love and encouragement give me the spark to keep pushing forward, along with the best Support Squad anyone could ask for - my family and friends - who continuously lift me up and are my constant source of strength and inspiration.​
Whether I’m speaking to a room full of executives, athletes, or those facing their own health challenges, my message remains the same: through Grit, Purpose, and Strength, we can overcome anything.​ I believe in the power of transformation, in turning setbacks into opportunities, and in leading by example.
My mission is to ignite a spark within others, encouraging them to discover their inner strength, practice self-compassion, and pursue greatness.​ Let me share my journey with your team, and together, we’ll rise above the challenges and embrace the limitless potential within us all.
