Summary

It’s been a while since Kristen has given an update, and a lot has changed. She’s usually the one sharing stories of client successes and business wins, but today, she’s turning the focus inward. The past year has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, forcing her to confront burnout, grapple with a loss of identity, and ultimately make a massive pivot.

Kristen began noticing changes in her business long before she was ready to acknowledge them. She was seeing incredible transformations with her clients—families healing, individuals gaining clarity. It was the kind of impact she had dreamed of making. Yet, she found herself questioning, “Is this enough? What is this doing for my business?”

What started as a quiet discomfort grew into full-blown burnout—a complete breakdown she never saw coming. For a while, Kristen did what most of us do—she kept going, pretending everything was fine. She didn’t want anyone to see that she was struggling.

This pivot isn’t just about business; it’s personal. Kristen realized that the burnout, the breakdown, was her body’s way of telling her she was living out of alignment. She started focusing on her mental health, her family, and her own wellbeing. She’s learning to redefine success.

If you’re feeling that pull, that sense that something needs to change, you’re not alone. Kristen’s journey is proof that it’s okay to pivot, to step back, and to realign with what truly matters. Stay tuned for part two.

0:07.0	You are listening to the Christenboss podcast. I'm your host, Kristen Boss. As a best-selling author and performance coach, I'm on a mission to share about sustainable and purposeful approaches to both business and life. Each week, I bring relevant topics that I believe are necessary to create a life of purpose, significance,
0:38.7	and meaning.
0:40.4	Entrepreneurship is about so much more than growing your bottom line.
0:43.8	It's about who you are becoming in the process and building a life that is truly extraordinary.
0:50.6	Entrepreneurship is really just the beginning.
0:56.6	Hey friends, it has been a while, like a couple months, and a lot has happened just this year in
1:05.0	24. And maybe you've been following along with my social media, but it has been a year. And this particular
1:13.1	podcast episode has been a long time coming. I just wasn't sure when. And I think I kept waiting
1:19.7	for the right time or for it to feel more cleaned up with how I wanted to share and talk about all my updates and all that stuff.
1:30.5	And I just realized that it's never going to feel neat and perfectly tidy and perfectly curated.
1:36.8	Oh, I'm getting emotional.
1:38.2	I think this is going to be, these are going to be good, sweet episodes.
1:42.9	So I'm pretty sure it's going to be in two parts
1:44.9	because there's a lot to catch you up on. So where do we begin? I think we actually have to begin
1:54.1	in 2020 when my business started. And when I had first started, I saw a real need in the
2:00.6	network marketing industry. I saw a need for
2:04.0	teaching the industry, lead generation in a way that wasn't being taught. I wanted to teach
2:11.5	sustainable strategies that was primarily about attracting people to you instead of exhausting yourself in the chase. And as you know,
2:19.0	I wrote a book, pivot to purpose. And that book is coming pretty close to home again.
2:24.4	This idea of leaving toxic hustle culture, this idea of the never-ending grind. And I really wanted to share about a different way of doing business.
2:38.0	And so when I came onto the scene, like, you know, people were talking about niche,
