In a moment, life can shift...
We all have seasons of scary change: The unexpected layoff, the sudden reassignment, the downsized team and growing workload.
Your sleep worsens. Your confidence weakens. You imagine catastrophic events and feel helpless to prevent them.
You know change is needed, but your self-worth and identity feel fractured. Instead of confident action, you distract yourself with food, alcohol or escape into social media.
You want a role that offers stability, growth, reward and fulfillment.
But your inner critic is strong. Do you have what it takes? Can you deliver? Shouldn’t you be there already?
You’re stuck and stagnating. Maybe your best days are behind you. Maybe you should aim lower.
On good days, you know better.

Hi, I’m Dr. Kristin
I’m a change expert and coach to high achievers facing career change.
I studied motivation and psychology and spent +15 years in management and leadership roles. I've pivoted twice in my own career and know how we can sabotage ourselves and limit our growth.
I founded Blooming Lotus Lab after watching too many high achievers fall victim to burnout or surrender their dreams in frustration.
I KNOW you were made for more because in 2012, I heard the same whisper and followed it.
The world needs your gifts and strengths. Let's create change for good.
You WERE made for MORE!

Embracing the Imperfect
My junior year of college, I was gifted a Ford Escort GTX.
It was a deep raspberry color with a cheeky little fin that winked at the prospect of street racing, though the car full-body shimmied at 60 mph.
I loved it on-sight. And though my automotive knowledge was shallow, I felt reassured that an owner’s manual was tucked deep in the glove compartment.
The dashboard contained a range of dials and lights, most of which remained thankfully dark. I most closely tracked the gas gauge and speedometer, learning with time how many blocks I could coast with the orange “low fuel” light beaming back at me.
Confidence. Who comes to mind?
Michelle Obama. Jane Goodall. George Clooney. Ali Wong.
When we see them on camera, they’re poised. Confident. Their unflappable presence could lead us to believe they’re always so.
Science suggests otherwise.
We all have skills and abilities we feel confident practicing. But how long have you been in this industry? Speaking about your expertise? Serving in this leadership role?
You’re operating in a “comfort zone”. Stretching out of it takes courage.
Perfectionism is having a moment.
It used to be a term clouded in shame.
More recently loud voices on the Internet have been redefining it with force:
“It’s good to be a perfectionist!"
“It means you have high standards."
“You raise the bar when others are heading to it!"
Well, it can also lead to depression, anxiety and poor mental and physical health.
The truth: Perfectionism runs on a scale. You can have doses that drive motivation (adaptive) or volumes that are toxic (maladaptive).
So when to celebrate that our internal standards are dialed to greatness? When to be concerned?
