Change can trigger fear.
It doesn't need to.
Let's find the opportunity in change.
You were made for more.

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!

Autumn’s Leverage:
Contain Self-Doubt & Reimagine YOUR Next Season
September’s stocked with potential. School’s back in session. The Great Lock In launched. It’s the second new year.
​
Are you leveraging this crisp, fresh season?
If you’re sprinting after grants or job leads, anxious about layoffs or slogging through unemployment, September may feel like less of a launch pad and more like a stop on the world’s slowest bus line.
You’re ready for clarity, momentum, or a lift to the next state for a new start.
But that bus is slow.
Instead of getting comfortable, get out of your own way and get on with it.

Warning Signs, Willful Denial & What Will Help Us Persist
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.

The Confidence-Action
Connection
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.
