In this heartfelt and highly practical episode, Rebecca Greene chats with Krista K, a nationally recognized expert in memory preservation and disaster preparedness, whose work has been featured on Good Morning America, The Kelly Clarkson Show, ABC World News Tonight, and in The Knot and Brides.

Known as “The Krista K,” she’s not just an award-winning photographer and memory-keeper—she’s a storyteller who helps families protect what matters most. Krista was honored as the 2023 Mentor of the Year by the Foundation for Lee County Public Schools and is a proud inductee of The Knot Hall of Fame.

Her new book, Beyond the Storm, is a beautiful blend of memoir and how-to guide that empowers families to safeguard their most cherished memories before disaster strikes.
