Curiously Kristen
On this show, we talk about lots of things. Personal development, behavioral psychology, business trends, leadership, adventure travel, spiritual practice, starting over somewhere new, taking risks, failing, getting back up and trying again. The subject matter is broad but the connecting fiber is deep. WE'RE EXPLORING OUR CURIOSITY. Without judgement. Without needing permission. Here, we'll learn, grow, and become our best selves - by leaning into the things we're curious about and letting that curiosity pave our path to purpose.
