Hi, I’m Kristy!
Introvert, work-from-home mom, scribbler-turned-copywriter, but . . .
Once Upon a Time
Throw back to 2008: I was a young pastor’s wife & mom, & wearing my 20s-something self out trying to live the most extroverted life imaginable.
You see, everything I signed up for in life is “people-y.” Vocational ministry, teaching, Mompreneur life, even motherhood. (Three of my five kids are extroverts.)
Long story short, I hustled & burned out–several times over. (Sometimes I’ve wondered if my struggles with anxiety stem from my personality, or the lifestyle I’ve tried to force myself into.)
Eventually I learned what was obvious all along:
- I’m a creative mentor at heart–not a boss babe
- I don’t have to hustle, just because everyone else is
- Simple success is still success
- Everything is figure-out-able
- There’s a lot to be said about building dreams gently
- This busy, loud, world needs the quiet we “old souls” bring to it
And Then She Lived Happily Ever After . . .
Just kidding.
In 2018, I hit a pretty low point. I was 100% exhausted, overwhelmed, & drowning in anxiety. The crazy thing: I was making six figures with a direct sales company… but didn’t have time to eat, sleep, or think. Just hustle.
The decision to cut back, & eventually walk away from that job wasn’t hard. What has been hard is making the decision to branch out on my own & confidently do what I love–write.
These days, I’m still homeschooling our four youngest kids, teaching at our hybrid homeschool community, & building my dream life as a WFH mom & homeschool copywriter.
No Fairy Godmother (or magic wand)
If you’re looking for a boss babe, that’s not me. If you want an overnight success, sorry–I’m not. (I mean, that would’ve been nice . . . )
Who I am: a hard-working, highly introverted wife & mom who loves books, words, ideas, & bringing them all together into a meaningful, beautiful life.
I believe that godly women should be intelligent, well-read, well-dressed, & confident… & we introverts have the inner strength to be all that, & more.
I have a feeling that’s YOU, since you’re still with me.
Want access to my Freebie Library?
It’s my inner sanctuary for introverts, creatives, & “old souls,” & brimming with goodness & inspiration of the most introspective kind.
You’ll also get access to weekly emails, or “letters,” & a monthly “Weekend Reads” newsletter. All good things I write & send to inspire readers who, like me, are hungry for a steady dose of old-soul style inspiration & beauty.
I’ll see you on the inside, Friend.
xo, Kristy
