About Kirsten
I turned anxiety, catastrophizing and indecision into a life full of dogs, wine and work I love.
I believe everyone can feel in charge of their choices and use them to create a fully aligned life.
I make it sound easy, but...
It didn’t always feel so easy. Like you, I was conditioned from an early age to believe things that led to a lot of stressful, inauthentic choices.
I believed good decisions have to be hard and take a lot of time. Other people need to like and understand your choices. You can't trust a decision if you feel less than 100% amazing and certain about it. And it's “normal” to feel behind & overloaded and angst over tiny choices.
The truth? None of that has to be true.
Decision Coaching helps you update your decision-making, so you can operate from better beliefs that’ll make your whole life easier, like:
Decisions can feel EASY.
Following what you want is self-honoring, not selfish.
Anxiety about unknowns and "deciding wrong" doesn't have to be constantly running in the background of your mind.
It's totally possible to turn down the noise in your head and hear yourself clearly.
Loving your life and being fully on your own team are not luxuries reserved for "other people." You deserve all of this.
My training will let you utilize the most useful tools and build life-changing habits from: Positive Psychology (the study of happiness and well-being), Crucial Conversations (communication skills I can’t believe we don’t learn in grade school), the HeartMath Institute (stress and emotion regulation, yes please), Self-Compassion and so much more.
This is what our coaching is all about. You will feel great about your choices. It’s time to live a life you love.
from our clients...
“If we over-index on what other people are thinking, we don't end up making the best decision, because we're making a decision out of fear and worry—I don't do that anymore. I make the best decisions because I'm not worried about what every single other person in my life is going to think about the decision. That has been so freeing. I’m much more calm as a person. I feel much more confident. Collected. I feel like decisions don't take up 90% of my brain anymore. Kirsten's coaching was so organized and so well structured, and there was always learning along with it. I think as a kind of Type A personality, I always appreciated that. So as a recovering overthinker, when it comes to decision-making, I am so, so pleased with what's happened in the last three months. I feel like it's three years of professional development condensed down into three months of just this glowing, beautiful gift that I received.”
