Start Here

Most people arrive here in the middle of something. A pivot they did not plan. A business that has outgrown the way they talk about it. Or the quiet sense that how they are known no longer matches who they have become.

That is the work — whether it starts with the person or with the brand. And it starts with one conversation.

A personal brand that evolves with you — through pivots, setbacks, and reinvention.

Her Mission

Kristen speaks and writes on the power of resilience — the refusal to give up on yourself, your faith, your goals, or the people beside you. Drawing from her own remarkable journey, she helps others move through struggle into a life of mission and meaningful service. She is currently at work on her first book.

Advocacy & Impact

Kristen's work extends well beyond the boardroom. She founded a cancer advocacy program advancing patient-centered care nationwide, and co-founded the Barbara Ann Karmanos / Niall P. Cullen Gastrointestinal Cancer Immunotherapy Program. A heart for service sits at the center of everything she builds.

Life In Naples

Rooted in the warmth of Naples, Florida, Kristen lives a life she genuinely loves alongside her partner and best friend, Brian — together, avid world travelers and devoted health and longevity enthusiasts. She is the proud mother of three purpose-driven young adults, Aidan, Declan, and Taryn Rose, and a joyful first-time "YiaYia" to her granddaughter, Emerson Rose.

My Story

11 Things You May
Not Know About Me

First Of All

Why Eleven?

Eleven has always been my number. Since childhood.

It shows up everywhere. Jersey numbers. The pulled ticket at the deli counter and the DMV. My birthday. My elopement. My wedding anniversary. Hotel room numbers. My lucky number playing games, choosing horses, and — on the rare occasion — playing roulette.

Always eleven.

We usually get to see what people are about through their work — how they serve, what they bring to the table, the impact they make. The look behind the woman matters just as much. It is how we relate, connect, and build trust.

I believe we are all here for a purpose. That we are born into this world to make an undeniable mark. We get to choose how.

  1. I was an untimely widow at 40, with sons aged 15 and 13 and a 7-year-old daughter. I had to reinvent everything and figure it out as I went. Little did I know that my entire brand — the programs I have built, the way I guide and serve others — would come out of that loss.
  2. I do one thing every year I have never done before. Skydived twice. Ran a marathon six months after I could not run a mile. Two Tough Mudders. Bungee jumped off a bridge. Flew a plane and landed it. Raced a racecar on a track. Gone hot air balloon racing. Spoken in front of thousands. At 24 I was the youngest broker at my firm — the only woman, and younger than the next by 22 years. I once flew to Chicago at 6am and sat in a man's lobby because his gatekeeper would not book me. He gave me the whole day, mentored me for years, and is still a dear friend. Never I can't or what if I fail. Always why not and it always works out.
  3. I started my own healing work at 19. I met my husband through it. In the 36 years since, I have kept going — new experiences, new modalities, retraining my brain to meet whatever life puts in front of me. I believe anyone who chooses to do their own healing work can change for the better.
  4. I hate raisins, liver, and spiders. In that order.
  5. I stand up to bullies. The mean, the disrespectful, the unaccountable, the abusers. Always.
  6. At 21, I left everything. My family, my friends, a well-established family business, a privileged life — 2,300 miles from Windsor, Ontario to Burlingame, California, to another country, knowing no one. All to find out whether I could live with a man I had told, on our second date, that I was going to marry him. He was 11 years and 11 months older than me and had never been married. He smiled and said, I know you are. We eloped three and a half months later. Three children and almost twenty years together — the best and most courageous decision I have ever made. Eleven years, eleven months. Of course.
  7. I live without regret and without fear of failure. Failure means you are actually doing something — you are trying, you are in action. It is an opportunity to learn, to grow, to enrich ourselves. The real failure is not trying at all.
  8. I love aging. I know that makes me a bit weird. This season of life is a gift, and I cannot wait for what is still ahead — who I will have the honor to serve, and the people, places, and experiences yet to come that will change me for the better.
  9. I choose to live from joy and gratitude every single day. No matter what. Especially on the hard days.
  10. I almost died in 2021 after a routine procedure, because of a freak accident. Six days post-surgery I tried to hold in a sneeze, started bleeding internally, and lost consciousness. Brian saved my life by calling the paramedics. And because of my work with Dr. Joe Dispenza, I was able to tell my brain to stabilize my plummeting 40/60 blood pressure long enough to reach the hospital for emergency surgery. It was wild.
  11. My blonde curly hair gets a lot of attention. I was not born with it. I could not hold a curl my entire life. Then, at 34, after the birth of my daughter, my hair went from fine and pin straight to full and curly. True story.

Two bodies of work, one foundation — Remarkable Resilience builds the person, and The Resilient Brand builds how the world comes to know them.

Personal Branding Strategy Services The Resilient Brand Build a personal brand that evolves with you — through pivots, setbacks, and reinvention.
The Resilient Brand · Personal Branding Strategy

A Brand Built
To Evolve

Uncover your strengths, clarify your expertise, and build a brand identity that holds its shape as your life and your business change. Choose the container that fits the season you are in — privately, over time, or alongside your team.

01

1:1 Customized
Individual Intensive

A concentrated one-to-one immersion and the fast track to the finished thing. Deep discovery, brand narrative, strategy and framework — all built on your own story and what makes you unmistakable. Every note is taken for you, so you are never documenting instead of thinking.

  • Format: In person in Naples, Florida or a location of your choosing — or virtually, by Zoom
  • Length: Two consecutive days, up to eight hours each. Two full days is a lot to hold, so four consecutive four-hour days is offered as an alternative
  • Deliverable: A customized multi-page Brand Blueprint — every session note, the new brand content created with you, your strategy and framework, and a prioritized list of next steps, short term and long
  • After the intensive: Clients continue on a monthly arrangement to build the brand out
02

1:1 Ongoing
Sessions

Private sessions across a full year, for founders and leaders who want Kristen in their corner while the work is actually being built. This is where intensive clients continue — and a strong starting point on its own.

  • Format: Virtual, by Zoom
  • Cadence: Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly
  • Term: A twelve-month engagement
  • Additional sessions: Available at a discount, at a rate that depends on the cadence you choose
03

1-to-Some Customized
Small Group Intensives

The firm version of The Resilient Brand. A customized intensive built around one company — its business brand, its leadership, and how each person in the room builds a brand distinguishable enough to be chosen, that co-brands with the company instead of competing against it. Run closer to a retreat than a boardroom: live, unhurried, and built for people to actually learn in.

  • Built for: Real estate, law, mortgage and financial services — any firm where a number of people offer the same thing
  • Minimum: Five participants
  • Format: Delivered live, at your place of business or a location you choose. Deliberately relaxed rather than corporate
  • Length: Two consecutive days of up to eight hours, or four consecutive four-hour days — the same shapes as the individual intensive
  • Each participant leaves with: A customized workbook they complete for themselves
  • Leadership receives: The Resilient Firm Blueprint — a page per participant on their own brand, each with a professional bio written by Kristen personally
  • Continuing: Shaped with leadership once the room's needs are clear
  • Pairs with: The Resilient Firm keynote, delivered at a kickoff or annual meeting

Investment is discussed on a Clarity Call. In-person intensives carry additional travel expenses, whether you travel to Naples or Kristen travels to you.

The Remarkable Resilience Series

Build The
Person First

The series of programs built from Kristen's own story — resilience and the power of never giving up on yourself, your faith, your goals, or others.

04

Remarkable Resilience

The foundational program, and the one everything else in this work grows from. Two days on what you have been carrying — shame, worth, forgiveness, and the mindset you never chose — and what becomes possible once you put it down. The full framework, applied to your own life rather than described from a stage.

  • Format: One to one. Ideally in person, in Naples, Florida or a location of your choosing — also delivered virtually by Zoom
  • Length: Two consecutive days of up to eight hours, or four consecutive four-hour days
  • Continuing: Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly Zoom sessions, on the same terms as the ongoing 1:1 work
05

Remarkable Resilience:
Relationships

The framework applied to the life two people are building together. It starts with whatever the individual work surfaced and left unfinished between you, then moves into the part most couples never sit down and do: designing what comes next, in real detail, on terms you get to choose together. Done side by side in Naples, with the trip opening out into a proper getaway rather than a workshop you fly home from.

  • Prerequisite: Both partners complete Remarkable Resilience individually first. Package options are available when the programs are booked together
  • Format: One to two — the pair of you, together. Ideally live in Naples, Florida; other locations and virtual delivery can be arranged
  • Length: Two consecutive days of up to eight hours, or four consecutive four-hour days
  • Included: Travel and couples experiences throughout, and a celebration to close the program
  • Continuing: Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly Zoom sessions, on the same terms as the ongoing 1:1 work
06

Remarkable Resilience:
Young Adults

An adjusted version of Remarkable Resilience, customized for a younger person stepping into their own life — purpose, identity, and resilience built before the first real setback arrives rather than after it.

  • Built for: Ages eighteen to twenty-five
  • Format: One to one — in person in Naples, Florida or a location of your choosing, or virtually by Zoom
  • Length: Two consecutive days of up to eight hours, or four consecutive four-hour days
  • Continuing: Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly Zoom sessions — offered, and for this age recommended

Investment is discussed on a Clarity Call. In-person programs carry additional travel expenses, whether you come to Naples or Kristen travels to you.

Speaking

What does Kristen speak about — and how can she inform and impact your audience?

On Stage

Signature Talks

Kristen speaks and writes on resilience and the power of never giving up — on yourself, your faith, your goals, or others. Using her own story of ongoing remarkable resilience, she helps audiences rise above their struggles and step into a life on a mission.

Talks are shaped to the room. Below are the themes she is most often asked for.

01

Remarkable Resilience

The interior work — shame, worth, forgiveness and mindset. Naming what you have been carrying, and putting it down.

02

Seasons, Not Crises

Second chapters, reinvention, and aging — why a life is a sequence of seasons rather than one identity interrupted by emergencies, and how to choose what each season teaches you.

03

The Resilient Brand

How to build a brand that survives change and gets stronger for it — for anyone whose life has moved faster than their brand.

04

The Resilient Firm

For real estate, law, mortgage and financial services firms, where a dozen producers look identical on paper — and differentiation is the only protection when the market turns.

How I Actually
Take Care Of Myself

I take my health seriously and specifically. My blood is drawn every quarter to check my hormone levels, my heart health, and my general wellbeing, and everything I do is under the guidance of a medical and functional clinician.

I do not share my personal protocol — what is right for me is built on my own bloodwork, and it could be wrong for you. What I will share is where I go, and the two everyday things Brian and I both swear by.

Where I Go

If you want personalized, clinician-guided care rather than a protocol copied from someone else's body — start here.

  • T Clinics USAClinician-guided hormone and peptide care AffiliateVisit link me

Personalized to your own labs, not to mine.

Daily, For Both Of Us

What Brian and I reach for every single day.

  • LMNTElectrolytes — in our alkaline water AffiliateShop
  • PaleovalleyOrganic Grass-Fed Beef Sticks — for added protein AffiliateShop

I aim for three to four litres of water a day.
