Kristy is an ex-nurse turned author, her first book "Confessions of a Professional Overthinker” is coming out in October 2019. 

Her journey of writing this book is nothing short of personal experience on acceptance, courage, and healing. Her background in nursing has helped her to identify certain connections between physical or emotional problems and the life stories people tend to hold.

More often than not, the thoughts of “I am not good enough”, “I am unworthy” or “I am not lovable”, were the stories many patients have in their minds, especially those who have addiction issues.

She talked about how we unknowingly play the “old stories” in our mind based on our childhood experience and even though they are not valid or true, we are still affected by them.

We may not be able to change the past, but now we have a choice to stop repeating those stories that no longer serve us and we can decide not to let them define us any further. 

Kristy said powerfully, "At the end of the day, it's a choice if you want to heal emotionally, physically, spiritually, but it's also a choice to stay in what is keeping you safe.”

I hope you will enjoy this deep and meaningful conversation about healing and self-discovery.

Transcript of our interview:

Sze Wing:              Hi, everyone. Today we are going to talk to my guest Kristy Rigall. She is the author of "Confessions of a Professional Overthinker", which I think is an awesome title. I know Kristy has a nursing background and now obviously more focused on her creativity. She just finished the book and I know it's in the works, it's coming out soon, which is extremely exciting because myself being an author and I remember when I was working on my first book, it was a huge project. So I guess we have a lot to share in that sense. And I'm so excited for you to have your book coming out and I just love the title and I'm really curious to talk to you today about your book because it's something that I think a lot of us do (to overthink). So welcome to my show, Kristy.

Kristy:                     Thank

you very much. Thank you for having me. I'm excited.

Sze Wing:              Yeah, so first of all, let's jump into the title of the book because when you mentioned that to me, I was like, "Wow, that's really catchy." When I was working on my book, it took me a long time actually to come up with a title, because you know, I was working with goddess archetypes, partly psychology and mythology. And I'm also very grounded in personal development and spirituality about helping people to transform their life. But I don't want to sound too witchy woo, but there is the element of myths and the wisdom from the people before. So it took me a while to actually put it together in something that captures everything and showed the essence of the book. So when I hear your title I thought, "Wow, that's super great, and I can really get what you're doing." So how did it all come together with the book and the title?

Kristy:                     Well,

the actual title, it didn't actually come about until this year. I had a few
