In this episode, Krista shares the seven books that transformed her self-awareness + changed the way she moves through life. These books allowed her to understand herself on a deeper level, shift her mindset, and see her patterns, relationships, and growth in a completely new way.
Ahead, hear about the lessons + teachings that shaped Krista’s personal growth, emotional healing, and self-discovery journey. From attachment styles to spirituality, intuition, and self-worth, these books offer powerful tools for becoming more connected to yourself.
It’s time to look at the patterns that keep you stuck and the beliefs that shape your reality. Krista explores why self-awareness is the foundation for change, how to stop self-sabotaging the life you want, and what it means to trust yourself more deeply.
We also talk about:
Why we self-sabotage when life starts getting really good
The “upper limit problem” + expanding your capacity for love, success, and abundance
Reclaiming the wild woman within + trusting your intuition without outside validation
How people-pleasing can become a form of self-betrayal
What your relationship with food can reveal about control, numbing, and receiving
Anxious, avoidant, and secure attachment in romantic relationships + friendships
Choosing love over fear + shifting the way you perceive your reality
Staying powerful during conflict without becoming hardened
