 Multi-passionate? Let me introduce you to Kristy Pask - a Marketing and Mindset Coach on a mission to help creative entrepreneurs build a business that truly lights them up, fuels their creativity and makes them money. But it wasn’t all that long ago that Kristy was flexing her entrepreneurial muscle across a few different industries. Now Kristy has found her true passion and purpose, so if you relate, this episode is for you!

On a personal note, Kristy is the mother of two incredible little humans, a partner to one incredible man and loves nothing more than spending time in the sunshine with the ones she loves most.
