In this episode, Krista talks about loving a partner who isn’t into spirituality or personal development—and the shift that saved her relationship.
From releasing judgment to practicing unconditional acceptance, she shares how removing pressure actually invited more connection (and occasional “yeses” to woo-woo things).
Krista offers a clear boundary check for when dynamics are disrespectful or unsafe, plus a simple way to lead at home by modeling what you love—no convincing required. You’ll hear real-life examples (celery juice, lemon water, yoga vs. golf), how to invite without attachment, and why celebrating the support your partner already gives can change everything.
You’ll learn:
A mindset reframe to stop comparing your relationship to “perfect spiritual couples” online
The acceptance script Krista used—and the relief it created for both partners
The difference between healthy differences and disrespect (when to reconsider staying)
How to lead by example so curiosity grows naturally in your home
A low-pressure invite/boundary approach that keeps connection intact

In this episode, Krista unpacks one of the sneakiest mindset blocks coaches face — the fear of success. She explains how this fear isn’t about lacking motivation or discipline, but about what your nervous system believes will happen after you succeed.
Krista shares how this shows up in real life — procrastinating right before a breakthrough, losing momentum after hitting goals, or feeling guilty when things go well — and why it’s actually your body’s way of trying to keep you safe.
She breaks down the difference between fear of failure and fear of success, explores the deeper roots (like family conditioning, guilt, and cultural programming), and walks you through practical tools to rewire your brain for expansion.
You’ll learn how to shift your relationship with success, celebrate progress, and retrain your body to believe: it’s safe for things to go well.
If you’ve ever felt afraid of shining too brightly, this episode will help you step into your next level — with more ease, joy, and self-trust.
