Kristine Carlson, says that it’s possible to love your life after profound loss and major change. She knows this because she has lived it. In 2006, after building the Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff franchise with her husband Dr. Richard Carlson, Kristine’s “perfect story” took a tragic turn as she unexpectedly lost her husband. In a blink, Kristine’s best friend and life partner was gone. Through that tragedy, she came to understand intimately how our losses are our defining moments, and that how we go through them shapes us. Kristine is a New York Times bestselling author, transformational speaker, and empathic guide for people experiencing major life transitions. She is the author of the book, Heartbroken Open: A True Story of Coming Alive Again After Profound Loss. The book inspired a Lifetime TV biopic movie, Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff: The Kristine Carlson Story, which starred Heather Locklear.
