Through relatable examples, she offers practical strategies to help listeners create sustainable changes without feeling overwhelmed or defeated.
Key Discussion Points:
- Starting Small to Avoid Overwhelm
Krissy emphasizes the importance of starting with small, realistic goals, rather than trying to overhaul every part of life at once.

Practical Tips:
