Hello, I’m Kristina

I am super excited you are here! The kind of excitement you feel when you select the “out of office” message on your email for your last moments at work right before you leave for your week-long vacation! Well, don’t be shy - come on in and allow me to introduce myself. I’m Kristina, your residential productivity and financial management expert! Now, as my now pre-school age son would say, “come and get cozy” and allow me to share with you some of my story.

 Where I Was

Imagine for a moment, you’re just returning from an amazing trip to Mexico at an all-inclusive resort with your wonderful husband and three-year old son. The sun having shined on your face, and the sand having soothed your feet - life couldn’t get any better, right? As you gear up to return to work, you receive a work email from one of the Partners at the Big Four professional service and accounting firm where you work asking to meet first thing upon your return to the office for a “conversation”. Sounds a bit daunting, right? When you walk into the office on the morning you return to work, you are greeted with not just the Partner who asked to meet with you, but also with an HR representative who was never invited to the party - or so you thought. What happened next you never saw coming.

In the fall of 2019, this was my story. A decade plus career with a Big Four accounting firm came to an end as a result of our ill-aligned goals. Did I mention I was 7 weeks pregnant with my second child? Now, although this felt utterly devastating, (especially with all the hormones from pregnancy), it was truly the beginning of everything I was purposed for and destined to become.

Resilience is familiar to me - it is woven into my fabric; a part of my DNA. My father called me a sleeper. See, when you sleep, you lack consciousness. He simply meant, I had nothing but potential, only I didn’t realize it yet. Once I emerged from that state of unconsciousness, there was no stopping me. Leaders I worked with referred to me as a “hound-dog” because I stopped at nothing to get my intended results. As a result of being let go from my job, I discovered my creative spark - one I never realized I had. I bloomed in a way I never realized I could. It wasn’t until I found my creative self did I truly understand how valuable these qualities were, and how much of a service they provided me throughout my career and personal life.

 

Where I Am

I have always had a deep desire to passionately, lead, teach, and empower people with helpful tools to become [even] greater than they already are.

Having seen first hand how women can be so hard-working and self-sacrificing putting their own needs last, I am here to tell you, be encouraged - there is a better way, and you can do all the things you’ve ever imagined!

I am a former finance and project manager turned productivity and personal finance coach. My expertise in budget and financial management, leadership development and project management allows me to help women confidently prioritize their time and energy to master money to create phenomenal, purpose-driven lives.

Stick with me, I’ve got you covered. Providing the tools for better productivity, the lessons to educate you about [even better] personal financial management, and all the things in between to help you plateau to your best self! Now, are you ready? Let’s begin our journey together.
