Following Your Gut Instincts: Bold Pivots, Motherhood & Reinvention

What does it look like to walk away from a six-figure job at Google, build a thriving brand, become a mom… shut it all down… and start again?

In this powerful launch episode of Crystal Clear, Kristine sits down with longtime friend and podcasting powerhouse Kacia Ghetmiri for a raw, energizing conversation about evolution, identity, and the courage to pivot—again and again.

This isn't just a career conversation. It's about listening to the quiet inner knowing when everything "looks good on paper"… but feels misaligned in your soul.

✨ In This Episode, We Dive Into:

• The intuitive nudge that pulled Kacia away from corporate life in New York
• Building a business on the side (without desperation energy)
• Letting fulfillment—not fear—lead the way
• Why timelines can sabotage your growth
• The "golden handcuffs" trap—and how to reframe it
• Growing a massive brand through her podcast EmpowerHer
• Navigating entrepreneurship through marriage moves, career shifts, and multiple states
• The identity shift of motherhood—and the guilt of wanting more
• Closing a successful business at its peak
• Starting over in real estate while pregnant with baby #2
• Balancing ambition, intuition, and family in real time

After three and a half years of podcasting under Pivot to Passion, this isn't just a relaunch—it's a reclamation.

In this deeply vulnerable first episode of Crystal Clear, Kristine shares the emotional moment of finally stepping fully into her soul's purpose… and publicly claiming her identity as a psychic medium, energy healer, and intuitive guide.

This episode is about what happens when you stop trying to fit the mold—and finally let it go.

✨ In This Episode:

• The evolution from Pivot to Passion to Crystal Clear

• Why Kristine is no longer identifying as a business coach

• The bathroom-floor breakthrough that changed everything

• What it really means to "let go" of an old identity

• Her journey from skepticism to fully embracing her intuitive gifts

• Why she believes everyone is intuitive (yes, you too)

• The powerful story behind reclaiming her Chinese name, Kit Ying

• Healing cultural self-abandonment and coming home to her true self

• What "Door Number Three" really means—and why it's the hardest (and most aligned) path

• Stepping into 2026's Fire Horse energy: momentum, courage, and unapologetic action

🔮 A New Direction

Crystal Clear isn't just for entrepreneurs anymore.

It's for anyone navigating:

• Career shifts

• Relationship transitions

• Identity awakenings

• Spiritual curiosity

• The quiet knowing that you're meant for more

This podcast will explore energy healing, intuition, spiritual awakening, authenticity, and the real-life courage it takes to answer your calling.

Expect:

• Channeled insights

• Stories of reinvention

• Conversations with healers and intuitives

CRYSTAL CLEAR, Coming February 25, 2026.

What does it really take to build a thriving business? And by thriving, I mean a supportive system surrounding you in order to make the impact you want to make, fulfill your soul, and generate consistent income so that you're receiving the fruits of your labor rather than overwatering other people's garden with nothing in return.

You can learn all the marketing strategies, all the systems and funnels, but you can't forget the groundwork that needs to be planted first.

Today I'm talking about the years before I built my thriving business. When I was pivoting trying to make ends work and trying to find myself. I'm sharing it all in this episode!

Have you ever had a strong intuitive nudge to go after something, but didn't follow through because it didn't make logical sense, or you didn't know the HOW, it wasn't the right time, you are too scared... and the list goes on?

If you have felt any of the above then this episode is for you!

I'm sharing the BTS of what I've been doing for the last 9 months and the aftermath of what happened when I finally followed a nudge I had for years!

Every time I follow my intuitive nudges, they have brought me closer to serving my purpose in a greater way and I'm so excited to share my latest leap!

Hopefully this episode will give you the permission slip or the SIGN that you are meant to go do the thing that's been on your heart for a while.

Perhaps it never made sense to go after your nudge..... until now.
