Kristen continues the conversation from last week, pulling back the curtain on her own pivot and exploring why making a change, even when it feels necessary, can be so terrifying. She unpacks why growth often feels like loss, why we cling to the familiar, and how the fear of letting go keeps us stuck in places we’ve outgrown.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• Growth and grief often go hand in hand—letting go of what’s familiar can feel like a loss, even when we know it’s time for something new.
• We often hold on to what we’ve already invested in, whether it’s a belief, a job, or a relationship, because the fear of abandoning that energy feels overwhelming.
• The fear of inconsistency or betraying others can make us shrink ourselves to protect the peace, causing us to stay in situations that no longer align with our growth.

Kristen highlights that the discomfort we feel around growth is often a signal of progress. The fear of pivoting is normal, but it’s also a sign that we’re standing at the edge of something bigger. The real risk isn’t in the change itself, but in staying where we are, avoiding discomfort, and missing out on what’s possible.

Pivoting takes courage—and that’s exactly what we need to move forward.

It’s been a while since Kristen has given an update, and a lot has changed. She’s usually the one sharing stories of client successes and business wins, but today, she’s turning the focus inward. The past year has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, forcing her to confront burnout, grapple with a loss of identity, and ultimately make a massive pivot.

Kristen began noticing changes in her business long before she was ready to acknowledge them. She was seeing incredible transformations with her clients—families healing, individuals gaining clarity. It was the kind of impact she had dreamed of making. Yet, she found herself questioning, “Is this enough? What is this doing for my business?”

What started as a quiet discomfort grew into full-blown burnout—a complete breakdown she never saw coming. For a while, Kristen did what most of us do—she kept going, pretending everything was fine. She didn’t want anyone to see that she was struggling.

This pivot isn’t just about business; it’s personal. Kristen realized that the burnout, the breakdown, was her body’s way of telling her she was living out of alignment. She started focusing on her mental health, her family, and her own wellbeing. She’s learning to redefine success.

If you’re feeling that pull, that sense that something needs to change, you’re not alone. Kristen’s journey is proof that it’s okay to pivot, to step back, and to realign with what truly matters. Stay tuned for part two.

In the social selling industry, consistency is often the deciding factor between success and struggle. Yet, many sellers find themselves caught in a cycle of reactive habits, only springing into action during a crisis.

In a recent coaching session with some of her top six and seven-figure earners, Kristen unpacked these challenges and provided actionable insights to help sellers overcome the obstacles to consistency and build a thriving business.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• Kristen highlighted why many sellers struggle to stay consistent, noting the tendency to only take action during a crisis, which creates a cycle of unhealthy momentum.
• She discussed how both activity and inactivity in this business accumulate over time, with delayed results that make it easy to fall into complacency.
• The conversation also covered the importance of creating and maintaining momentum, especially during sprints, and how sometimes your team needs that extra push to keep moving forward.

Consistency in social selling isn't just about reacting when problems show up—it's about creating and maintaining habits that drive ongoing success. Kristen’s coaching session showed that real success comes from being proactive, simplifying your approach, and keeping your team engaged. Ask yourself what success looks like for you right now and align your actions with that vision.

It’s easy to think that if your sales are down, it must be because people aren’t spending money. But if you look around, the evidence tells a different story. From long lines at Starbucks to packed Disney parks, it’s clear that people are still opening their wallets. The key isn’t that they’re spending less, it’s that they’re spending differently. Consumers are focusing more on emotional fulfillment than ever before.

In this episode, Kristen talks to listeners about the current state of consumer spending and behavior. She explores how people are spending money not out of necessity, but for emotional satisfaction. Kristen will guide you through understanding why consumers are prioritizing emotional fulfillment in their purchases and how you can use these insights to tailor your marketing strategies.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• People are looking for products and experiences that provide a dopamine boost. Their purchasing habits are driven by a quick emotional high.
• Kristen challenges you to analyze your own spending habits over the past month. What did you buy that made you feel good? This self-reflection can provide insights into broader consumer behavior.
• People aren’t just buying things out of necessity anymore. They’re splurging on stuff that makes them feel good.
• Many people would rather find ways to earn more money than cut back on their spending.
• To grab your potential customer’s attention, make sure your product or service hits them on an emotional level. Show how it can bring them joy or solve a problem.

So, despite what you might hear, people are still spending money, but they’re doing it in a way that focuses on how it makes them feel. By understanding these emotional drivers and aligning your marketing strategies accordingly, you can better connect with your audience and see your sales reflect the true state of consumer spending.

The concept of trading time for money is familiar, but it's also limiting. There's only so much time in a day, and if your income is directly tied to your personal efforts, your earning potential is capped. To break through this barrier, you need to think beyond your own hours and start leveraging other resources.

In today’s episode, Kristen provides practical guidance and the real truth on how to break through the third paycheck plateau. She focuses on increasing your impact in ways that aren’t directly tied to your personal time. One of the most effective strategies for doing this is building a team.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• Kristen discusses how scaling your efforts means increasing your impact in a leveraged and scalable way. This isn't just about working harder; it's about working smarter.
• It's about more than just adding members. It's about expanding your impact by bringing in people who want to build their own businesses.
• The truth is, you don't need to be an expert to help someone get their first customer. Leading by example is often enough.
• Without investing effort into building a team, you’re not fully leveraging your business. By building a team, you’re creating a sustainable and scalable business model.

You need to get people into your team. You need to leverage this business through building a team. This is the key to breaking through the paycheck plateau and scaling your business to the next level.

There is a lot happening and shifting within the network marketing space right now. Big changes are leaving people questioning the future of network marketing and their own roles within it. Kristen is here to provide support and clarity about what’s going on in the industry, bringing you this special bonus episode.

In this State of the Union replay, Kristen discusses the changes we’re seeing and offers encouragement and insight. Kristen continues to instill what is possible in this business model, reminding us all that there is still hope for the industry. It's normal to feel vulnerable, to have questions, and to feel a bit unsure of what’s coming next.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• This is hard, and we all feel it. Whenever we see a company change their model to an affiliate model, we ask, "What does this mean for my company?" It's important to remember that network marketing is not going anywhere.
• Even as companies pivot, your most valuable assets remain intact: your email lists, your personal brand, and the skills you’ve acquired.
• Tough seasons are part of any business journey. If you’re losing faith in the network marketing business, now is the time to rebuild your belief. Focus on what’s possible and where the industry is heading.

Be the person who talks about the future and inspires others with a vision of where we’re going. It’s not about ignoring the challenges but about charging through the storm with determination and resilience. Network marketing offers countless opportunities, even in times of change.

By focusing on your strengths and staying positive, you can navigate these shifts and come out stronger. Stay hopeful, stay confident, and remember, you have the tools needed to succeed.

Are you feeling stuck in your network marketing business, watching your income become stagnant despite your hard work? Welcome to the paycheck plateau, a phase every network marketer will face at some point. If you haven't encountered it yet, it's only a matter of time.

In today’s episode, Kristen talks about how to recognize the warning signs, addresses the first paycheck plateau, and shares strategies for getting back on track.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• The paycheck plateau occurs when your income from network marketing stagnates after an initial period of growth. This is a natural part of the business cycle.
• Your content should go beyond asking for sales. Focus on how you can serve your audience and add value to their lives. Be deliberate with your content.
• Expand your network by connecting with people outside your immediate circle.
• Adapt your marketing strategies to the changing market dynamics. What worked initially may not work now.

When you’ve exhausted your hot leads and find yourself struggling to maintain momentum, it’s time to shift your approach. Stop relying on the same customers and broaden your audience to expand your customer base. The solution is simple yet powerful: you need to network beyond your immediate comfort zone.
