A lover of all things earthy and inspired to live simply in order to live more fully, Kristen seeks to find tangible ways to be authentic - and you can count on her to always tell it like it is. Kristen spent her early years abroad as a Missionary Kid, and is now involved in her own mission closer to home. She is trying to figure out practical ways to serve her neighbors living in poverty just next door and still keep it real {and peaceful} with her husband and two little boys. Kristen is a classically-trained musician who passionately leads people in worship as a part of her church’s band. A [sometimes reluctant] working mom, Kristen owns The Brain Gym where she enjoys solving learning, reading and attention issues for kids and adults.
