Worry isn’t a flaw—it’s a habit. But habits can be changed. Here’s how I’ve started retraining my mind:

🧘 Practice &
Notice each breath or use the 5‑4‑3‑2‑1 sensory method (see, touch, hear, smell, taste) to bring yourself into the present moment—and let the future fade into background noise

💬 Challenge the Story
Ask: “What evidence supports this worry? Is it realistic?” Then rewrite it into something kinder, more balanced. is often surprisingly therapeutic for this shift

I’d love to share more techniques with you. If you are worrying more and more lately, reach out - I can help.

In good health,

Kristi

At the beginning of the week, I encouraged you to identify your personality strengths.

Now I want to help you put those strengths to work building new and healthy habits.

If you are an extrovert, join a running group that will support your social and fitness needs. If you are analytical, determine the budget changes you need to make to meet your financial planning goals. If you are someone who is creative, craft a new and healthy recipe.

When you use the strengths you have, the habits you create are likely to be more enjoyable—and lasting.

I can help you discover other new and powerful ways to use your strengths to achieve personal and professional success. Contact me today.

In good health,
Kristi

This powerful phrase reminds us of the magic that happens when honesty meets kindness—it's not just about speaking, but about how we speak. 💬💖

When we say what we mean with love, we honor others’ feelings with empathy and care. And when we mean what we say with truth, our words become authentic and trustworthy 🕊️. It’s a beautiful balance that deepens relationships and builds connections rooted in respect.

In good health,

Kristi

What do you do best? What are your strongest assets?

One of my greatest strengths is my endless curiosity. I am constantly exploring, discovering and learning. Whether I’m taking classes, visiting a museum or meeting someone new, I know that feeding my curiosity brings me joy and fulfillment. It brought me from a career in corporate accounting to my current passion for wellness and mindfulness!

If you aren’t sure what your strengths are, take this free survey.

Once you are able to clearly see what you do best, you can apply those skills in your daily life, focusing on areas where you feel most energized and successful.

I can help you explore how your strengths manifest in your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and show you how you can use them in new and different ways to achieve wellness and fulfillment in your life. Contact me today.

In good health,
Kristi

“The beautiful location and nourishing meals by Chef Lisa added to the sense of renewal. The well-paced program, including workshops, prompts, and assessments, helped me gain valuable insights into my health and strengths. I left feeling inspired, aligned, and more confident in my path forward.” Elaine

“For me, this was the perfect retreat. Possibly my favourite retreat of Kristi’s so far, and that’s a very high bar. Transformational material, fabulous food, gorgeous setting, and a beautifully curated group of amazing women.” Heather

🌿 Finding Your Voice Heals You 🌿

Have you ever felt your true voice was silenced—by societal expectations, old traumas, or self-doubt? When you reclaim that voice, gentle vibration becomes medicine for your body, mind, and spirit.

Last month, I had the opportunity to work with Ani Williams—the gifted author, musician, and sound healer who guided us during last year’s retreat in France. You can learn more about her work here: https://aniwilliams.com.

I signed up for a voice analysis with Ani, designed to assess the tone patterns in my speaking voice and identify which frequencies are missing. Unsurprisingly—at least to those who know me—the tone of G, which corresponds to the Throat Chakra, was notably absent. Growing up in a stoic Norwegian family that didn’t often express emotions, I’ve long had a complicated relationship with my voice.

Following the analysis, Ani provided me with specific Songaia Sound Medicine tones to help restore vibrational balance. I’m just two weeks into the practice, and already some fascinating shifts are unfolding—more synchronicities, increased vitality, and a noticeable strength in my voice.

I truly feel like I’m finally coming into tune.

In good health,

Kristi

The Importance of Feeling Connected to the Universe 🌌💫

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to forget that we’re part of something much larger than ourselves. But when we take a moment to pause and truly feel the connection to the universe around us, everything shifts. 🌱

We are not isolated beings. We are all intricately woven into the fabric of life—the stars above, the earth beneath our feet, the rhythm of nature, and the energy that flows through every living thing. When we tap into that sense of connection, we feel more aligned, more at peace, and more grounded in the present moment.

It’s in the quiet mornings, the sound of the wind rustling through the trees, or the vastness of the sky that we realize just how interconnected we are. And in those moments, we find the strength, clarity, and inspiration to keep moving forward with purpose.

So take a deep breath. Step outside. Notice the world around you. Let yourself feel connected to the rhythm of life—and remember that you are part of something beautiful and infinite. 🌿

In good health,

Kristi

As some of you know, I’ve been taking courses in human psychology as part of the Harvard Extension program. I love what I’ve been learning and this summer I will be sharing with you some of the tidbits I’ve picked up.

One of the “lessons” I’ve learned that has been the most impactful is to THINK before you speak.

I know, you’re probably thinking, “Really, Kristi? That’s nothing new—my mother always said that.” But this is a different way of thinking before you speak.

Before responding, ask yourself if what you’re going to say is:

True
Helpful
Inspiring
Necessary
Kind

Sounds simple, I know but (pardon the pun), think about it! In these fraught times in which we live, if we use those five adjectives to frame our responses, we might just lower the temperature of our discourse, encourage thoughtful (not reactive) interactions and in the process, save ourselves a lot of agita!

If you’d like to practice how you THINK, contact me today. I can help you reframe your thought processes to find greater peace, contentment and wellness in your life.

In good health,
Kristi
