Hi, I'm Kristi.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that life isn't about becoming someone else.

It's about remembering who God created you to be.

For a long time, I thought my purpose was helping everyone else discover their gifts.

I built businesses.

Owned a salon.

Raised two incredible children.

Helped entrepreneurs buy and sell businesses.

Mentored leaders.

Built communities.

Cheered for other people's dreams.

What I didn't realize was that somewhere along the way…

I'd quietly set some of my own dreams aside.

Music had always been part of my story.

As a little girl, my very first solo was This Little Light of Mine.

In my late teens and early twenties, I sang in coffee shops around Southern California.

Then life became wonderfully full.

Marriage.

Children.

Business.

Responsibilities.

For years, I mostly sang in church and around the house.

I thought that chapter of my life had quietly come to an end.

It hadn't.

Sometimes life has a way of leading us back to the places we thought we'd left behind.

After walking through divorce, grief, and the empty nest that followed, I found myself writing again.

What began as a poem became my first song.

Then it became a memoir.

And eventually, it became a message I now have the privilege of sharing with audiences around the country.

Do I Miss You or the House We Built wasn't really about divorce.

It was about grieving a season of life.

It was about honoring something beautiful without needing to hold onto it forever.

Recording that song—and writing Welcome Home—changed more than my career.

They reminded me that dreams don't have expiration dates.

Today, I'm an author, speaker, songwriter, entrepreneur, and business broker who believes every chapter of our lives has something to teach us.

Through my books, music, keynote speaking, and conversations, my hope is to encourage people to rediscover their purpose, embrace their unique gifts, and find the courage to let their own light shine.

I believe beauty and grief can exist in the same heart.

I believe healing doesn't ask us to forget.

It invites us to remember differently.

I believe every person carries a unique gift.

And I believe one of the greatest privileges in life is helping people discover theirs.

Whether you've found me through my music, my memoir, a keynote, or simply by accident…

I'm grateful you're here.

My hope is that somewhere along the way, you'll find a little more courage…

a little more hope…

and maybe even remember a part of yourself you thought had been lost.

Welcome Home.
