Krista Kay portrait

Where humor meets healing at work

I help Individuals and Teams think "Taller" so they can Stop Shrinking, show up with Confidence and Take Up The Space they're meant for.

Most of us have been taught (directly or indirectly) to shrink. To second-guess ourselves, stay quiet, or play it safe in rooms where we’re meant to contribute.

Krista’s work challenges that. Through a unique blend of psychology, humor, and real-life storytelling, she helps individuals and teams recognize the patterns holding them back and replace them with confidence, clarity, and stronger communication.

 

The result isn’t just personal growth... it’s better leadership, healthier team dynamics, and people who show up fully in the roles that matter most.

Based in South Dakota, available for events nationwide.

We’ve been talking through life since middle school...

Life has a way of getting messy, emotional, and a little unpredictable. We’re convinced the only way to move

through all of it without losing your mind is to

laugh as much as humanly possible.
