I’m Kris.

I help ambitious, hot-mess humans hit pause and gain clarity.

In the last 20 years…

I’ve mentored 100+ leaders through chaos (and burnout).

I helped scale multimillion-dollar teams while juggling all the things.

And I earned a Master’s in Organizational Psychology to understand what drives productivity…and what fuels burnout.

For most of my life, I chased the version of success everyone applauds.

THE POLISHED SURFACE

I was the overachiever. The perfectionist. The one who had it “together.”

After college, I quickly climbed the career ladder eventually becoming the first female VP in a 300-person marketing org at a Fortune 500 company. I was known for getting things done and making sense of the chaos.

I was also raising two boys, managing a home in a Pinterest-worthy suburb, and juggling more than I ever let on.

I had built a life that looked really, really good. But I couldn’t admit what it felt like on the inside.

WHAT I WAS CARRYING

Team deadlines. Family needs. Unread texts. Expectations.
All of it.

I never took anything off my plate. I just got better at hiding the weight.

THE PRIVATE STRUGGLE

I chased success so hard… **doing all the things, all the time…until life broke me.**

Not in a cute way. In a scary, this-can-never-happen-again kind of way. I hit a breaking point.

I couldn’t comprehend simple questions. I was in a fog. I cried without knowing why. My heart raced at the thought of something minor. I couldn’t breathe but I still kept working.

Because if I wasn’t the reliable, strategic, high-functioning one… then who was I?

Here’s the truth… Ambition without rest will break you.

I once believed every minute not being productive was a minute wasted.

I tried to “fix” myself by doing more: more goals, more hustling, more overcommitting.

If I felt this way, others probably do too.

WHY I BUILT BREAK & BLOOM

That breakdown became my breakthrough.

I didn’t want to stop being ambitious. I just didn’t want it to cost me everything. So I created a space where women like us can lead, grow, and get sh*t done without burning out to prove it.

Break & Bloom is where I bring together my corporate brain, retreat heart, and help you find success that finally feels doable without losing your mind.
