✨ In Her Own Words
What does authentic leadership mean to you?
“Leading from a place of courage, vulnerability, and connection. It’s the daily practice of letting go of who I think I should be and embracing who I am.”
How do you stay grounded in high-pressure environments?
“Positive self-talk and a subtle yet effective breathing technique I’ve been doing for 30+ years.”
A moment that redefined success and purpose:
“Accepting as truth that the only person I’m in competition with is myself.”
How do you protect your energy and boundaries?
“I listen to my physicality—if I need rest, I rest. If I’m hungry, I eat. If I’ve reached mental fatigue, I slow down and take longer, deeper breaths to reset. If something misaligns with my values, I act quickly. I don’t compromise with myself.”
What excites you most about the Maven Within Retreat?
“All of us CFAs coming together, in the same space, committed to enriching ourselves and each other.”
When do you feel most like yourself?
“When I’m surrounded by the overwhelming beauty of art, nature, and people being their most authentic selves.”

Why We Can’t Wait to Learn From Her
Kirsten leads by example—with polish, presence, and deep clarity. Whether she’s preparing a cabin or mentoring the next generation, she reminds us that leadership lives in the details—and in how we care for ourselves as we care for others.
We’re proud to have her in the Maven Within community and so grateful for her longtime support.
