Show Notes

Once you embrace that continuous change is a natural process for your growth and evolution, you will be reminded that who, what, and where you are now is a temporary condition, and my guest today is solid proof of that! She is currently a Membership Manager with the Girls Scouts of Southeast Florida. Kristen has not only worked in 6 different institutions but is also the founder of Teamworks, a consulting company dedicated to building strong teams and leaders of integrity, positivity, and action. Kristen also authored the book “A Year of Nothing New – Tools for Living Lean and Green,” chronicling a year of conscious consumption and a values realignment on how one spends their time, money, and energy. 

 Kristen Skarie in a Nutshell - Changes are inevitable. Kristen explains her life’s journey filled with major changes and big steps of her moving to Florida followed by her mom’s arrival, moving in with her, and how Kristen went from having no position at the time of her move to getting an adventurous position. 

Selfishly Caring for Self - Although thinking about ourselves might feel selfish at times, Kristen explains the importance of taking time and caring for ourselves, which she has started learning recently 

Permission to Transition - Upon being asked if she still experiences those moments of sorrow or the tensions that came with the changes, Kristen spells out that the aftermath of the transition of the change can take months, years, or even decades. It all comes down to seeking comfort in the permission to go through the transition of the changes that has no ‘done timeframe.’

Remaining Grateful - Amidst the busy life and its chaos, it’s important to remain grateful, says Kristen. Kristen explains how finding small things in our life that we can be grateful about can make our lives better.

The Resilience of Thriving Through Change - Kristen finally explains how grateful she is to have something not many people do, and that is the resilience to thrive through changes. She further explains how grateful she is for having different circles of friends, and the proximity of her family, and the strengthening family circle, including everyone who all live close by.
