Kristin is a born and bred beach girl who loves the mountains. She feels that the powerful, mysterious energy of the mountains is comfortingly grounding. Although her feet are currently on the warm sand, the shifting tides of the Ocean do not provide her the cool, protective, calming feelings of the Appalachian Mountain Range in wintertime. Her main focus, aside from the majestic peaks, are her two children. Together, she and her two children are self-proclaimed spitfires. They are always on the go, looking for new things and seeking out new adventures and their mischievous demeanor creates many opportunities to challenge any pre-disposed ideas of parenting. Kristin believes that parenting is an organic and malleable process; changing every week, day, and moment. This is based on her philosophy of meeting children where they are with curiosity and a desire to meet their needs. As a realistic optimist, Kristin is a way-shower of positivity and seeks to share this with her loved ones. She has learned from her female ancestors in close proximity, due to her current living situation hosting four generations of women under the same roof. She has dedicated herself to healing the feminine bloodline and this is consistently proven by the transformations she witnesses in her family members. Kristen has a degree in journalism from the University of Florida. Writing, as a form of release during emotionally tumultuous times, is a cathartic experience for her. Although she has not pursued a career in journalism, Kristin has defined herself professionally out of necessity. Being a single mother, she has manifested a particular niche of the real estate market in order to provide for her children. In the future, her goal is to gain complete financial independence, running her own business in a way that is empowering, flexible, and enjoyable. Today, Kristin maintains her hopes to become a voice of inspiration and self-worth for others.
