Raised by two transformational coaches, Kristi grew up immersed in personal development, truth-telling, and the belief that freedom is something you can build on your own terms. At just 21, someone approached her and asked to hire her as a coach not because of what she was teaching, but because of how she was living: connected, grounded, and fully herself.After seven years of private coaching, Kristi's business grew through word of mouth clients kept re-signing, and others began asking what she was doing to create such easeful success. That's when she leaned into the business side, deepened her training, and discovered the true power of client retention and designing offers that create legacy-level impact.But it was after her father passed away that everything crystallized. It became clear that wealth isn't just about how much money you make it's about how you're living. If your business isn't built to support the life you actually want, you'll always feel like you're chasing it. That realization shaped everything.Now a mom herself, Kristi helps women build businesses that are scalable, strategic, and deeply rooted in who they are. She's supported hundreds of women in creating sustainable six- and multi-six-figure results by helping them design signature offers, build systems that work, and lead in a way that feels true.Ready to clarify your purpose so your niche and offers click into place?Start here → Discover Your Soul’s Purpose (self-paced).Connect with Tamara:https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamarawamsley/https://www.tiktok.com/@tamarawamsleyhttps://www.youtube.com/@tamara_wamsleyhttps://www.instagram.com/tamara.wamsley/Connect with Kristi:https://www.instagram.com/kristichaveshttps://kristichaves.com/10k-months
