Trichotillomania - hair pulling disorder involving recurrent, irresistible urges to pull out their own hair (trich for short).

Kristina opens up about her journey with trich to help those who might also be suffering. A huge act of courage because, for a long time, she considered this too shameful to even share with a therapist. This interview in and of itself is a celebration of her healing.

Since completing hypnotherapy 2 years ago, Kristina:
💖Reduced relapses with eyebrow pulling 12x/year ➡️ 2x/year
(and it’ll keep getting better!)

💖Went from understanding her trich at a more surface level ➡️ uncovering and healing its root causes, such as childhood immigrant trauma and pressure to "be perfect"

💖Healed anxieties with being "found out," previously waking up early to draw in her missing eyebrow, hiding it from her partner and friends ➡️ speaking publicly about trich, owning her story, and accepting herself

Kristina can now say “My trich does not have power over me, I am the one that’s in control.”

This. Is. Power.

We are so grateful for your story and your voice, Kristina. Thank you for sharing your deeply personal story to light the way for others 🙏🏻

Heart Centered Leadership starts within each and every one of us. It’s more than a book. It’s a movement and you're invited to join.
-Virtual Book Launch Thurs, 1/26, 5:00 PST https://tinyurl.com/33cksu4u
-San Francisco Book Launch Sun, 2/26, 2:00PM https://tinyurl.com/2p8hk8bc

Our LA book launch, shown in the video below, lit up our hearts ❤️‍🔥, where a commitment to an authentic life was celebrated. The event connected guests with themselves, one another, and our vision for the future of leadership. When we are seen and supported as who we are, exactly as we are, our momentum towards this collective vision amplifies. This is the power of community.

The 22 authors came together because we have a vision. We want to change the traditional leadership model where power is hierarchical, where authority is embodied in a ‘standard’ way of look, speech, and ego, where our unique gifts and talents are overlooked and underestimated…sometimes by our own self.

Through collective empowerment, we are normalizing open-hearted, compassionate, and authentic leadership. We published this past Fall and our authors led launch events in Colorado, LA, and Florida. Our readers, event attendees, and community members joined our movement, widening our reach, touching corporations, boardrooms, and classrooms…together.

Join in for inspired action and to CELEBRATE a world we are all creating together.

The virtual party will include:
📖 readings
🗣 Q & A with authors
🌬 breathwork
🧠 group hypnosis session.
Thursday, 1/26, 5PST/6MST/ 8EST.

The dark and the light are equal teachers.

Autumn brought forward a big transition, a letting go - my soul knew living its truth would come at the expense of heartbreak. My hopeful mind and loving heart were unwilling to accept this. The transition was brutal, the false reality I was anchored in falling away.

Winter came, a season for honest, sometimes painful, reflection. Opportunities are afforded by darkness, uncovering truths in depths we can only reach when still.

It was here, in the quiet, that I woke up to my patterns, woke up to myself.

I saw my relationship cycles in a new way, their origins in my childhood family dynamic, generational trauma, and conditioning. I saw how I had perpetuated these cycles. I saw the core wounds I needed to heal. I saw the new demands I needed to make, from myself, and for myself. I saw this is a critical turning point in my life narrative…but only if I embraced life’s curriculum here.
When we lean into the dark, the light starts shining in unforeseen places.

Celebrating the return of the light, as the days grow longer and a new era begins. 2022 has been one hell of a year. Here’s to shining brighter than ever in 2023, this light granted by the darkness of the last few months. I am grateful for it all.

✨

To my own hypnotherapist, mentors, coaching community, and loved ones - without your stable support of my inner work, your guidance, and your love, I’d still be wading in the relentless darkness.

I will always champion the mission of this book I was invited to co-author. My hope is for all humans to recognize and value their unique gifts and passions. To embrace exactly who we are, just as we are. To lead others by first leading ourselves. To decide on your path forward by listening to your heart, committing to that vision, and facing the unknowns. There is an undeniable ripple effect that has for others in your life.

Heart Centered Leadership, Unique Pathways, Approaches & Strategies for Soul-Aligned Success, launched yesterday! I am honored to have created this both with 21 other inspiring authors who have worked to come out of autopilot, heal, and discover a more aligned life.

We want to normalize the non-traditional leadership model of leading open-heartedly, authentically, and compassionately. Instead of the top-down leadership model of power “over” others, we are making mainstream leading through collective empowerment, to bring forward each of our authentic selves and the gifts so needed by the world. Multiple authors are featured to demonstrate there are many paths to leadership, and to discover and honor your own.

I hope that this book solidifies your resolve to continue discovering and choosing you. I hope this book shows you're not alone on this path. I hope this book keeps you moving forward, through the rising and falling, through the dark nights of our souls, even if it’s sometimes on our knees, as we come to know the home called ‘ourselves.’

We are here to walk one another home.
