Kristin Reiswig has always been a self-starter. The kind of woman who believes a little bit of chaos makes life worth living. Never one to hang her hat on “traditional” accomplishments, her pride and joy doesn’t come from a wall of accolades or a fancy degree. It comes from having survived her darkest days and come out on the other side with a heart that refused to harden. She tells it like it is because she believes that the world deserves that kind of honesty and it’s only in hearing that kind of honesty that we can grow as humans. And, she deeply believes, that we all must grow.

She’s a mama with a warrior’s heart and a step-mama who has learned that unconditional love has no set of criteria that must be met before it’s awarded. It just is, and she believes the world needs a whole lot more of that.
