Welcome! I’m
Dr. Kristen Strom
I’m excited to share my journey with you and to teach you everything I know about how to feel alive again and step into your own personal power & influence.
MY CORE VALUES
Authenticity
I live openly and honestly by my passions, beliefs and commitments. I listen to, trust, and prioritize myself, so I can be there for others.
Family
I’m a proud mother, devoted wife, and active member of my community. By being my best self, I can give the world to everyone I call “family.”
Metamorphosis
By embracing my path—pivoting when necessary—I strive to realize my personal potential. Living by smart healthy example, I show others how to grow, evolve, and thrive.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I’m a Midwestern girl who faced a lot of family challenges early in life—a divorce, a big blended family, high expectations. When I was 22, I met Grant, the love of my life. We married and moved from Chicago to his family’s farm in Illinois. We had three (amazing) kids—all while I worked as an educator, earning a Ph.D., and getting schooled on how to run a farm. Life was good until it wasn’t.
You could say my new life began in 2021. While on a walk by myself, I had a profound “aha” moment that brought me to tears—and my knees. It had been building for years as I worked overtime to keep up my Super Woman facade. I knew I needed to leave my life as a professor, so I could have the time and space to build trust in myself and find my strength and purpose again.
I began to work with a coach I admired. For the first time, I began to prioritize ME—my mental, physical and spiritual health. I listened to myself. I slowed down. I learned to say “no.” The small daily changes I made grew into a tectonic shift. My exhaustion turned into boundless energy and an electric sense of freedom. I knew real, positive and lasting change was possible.
For most of my life, I was just surviving. Now, I’m thriving. Today, I’m driven to help others harness their potential and inhabit greatness, too.
Let’s do this!
