Kristan Sargeant has lived a life of reinvention, curiosity, and deep inner work. From co-founding a company with her father that grew from a backyard startup into a half-billion-dollar business, to producing TEDxWomen conferences, to earning a master\u2019s degree in psychology, Kristan\u2019s path has been anything but straight \u2014 and that winding road holds the wisdom she now shares. In this rich, honest conversation, Kristan opens up about why traditional success and discipline weren\u2019t enough, how she became disenchanted with past-focused therapy, and what changed when she discovered shadow work. We talk about the hidden parts of ourselves that quietly shape our choices, leak our confidence, and sometimes run the show \u2014 and how meeting those parts with compassion can restore clarity, courage, and momentum. This episode is an invitation to soften the inner battle, reclaim wholeness, and rethink what it means to grow. If you\u2019ve ever felt like something inside you is asking to be seen \u2014 or like your wish is waiting for you to say a fuller yes \u2014 this conversation will meet you right where you are.
