About Kristen Trells

Hello, I’m Kristen Trells. My life’s journey is one of continuous self-discovery, growth, and alignment with the values that mean the most to me. I’m not here to claim perfect wisdom or constant clarity, but I am committed to a life rooted in authenticity, curiosity, and purposeful evolution.

I believe deeply in the power of living with intention. Every experience, belief, and goal has shaped who I am, but I also know that growth is a never-ending process. Each day, I strive to learn, to embrace change, and to welcome the lessons that come my way. For me, the question of who I am is an evolving answer, a mosaic of experiences that shapes my ever-changing perspective.

With empathy and creativity, I aim to connect with others in meaningful ways, hoping to both inspire and be inspired. Together, we can explore life's possibilities and celebrate our shared humanity.

My Perspective

I believe our perspective shapes the world we experience, like looking through a unique lens that colors everything we see. My goal is to sharpen that vision daily, bringing more clarity, compassion, and peace to my life and the lives of those I connect with.

Life is a mix of joy, growth, setbacks, and resilience. With each challenge, I embrace the lessons and learn to evolve through them. I’m committed to seeing failures as stepping stones, each offering invaluable insight into who I am and who I aspire to become. In the moments of vulnerability, I believe we find our truest strength.

With empathy and respect, I seek to understand and connect with others. I believe we can create a more harmonious and inclusive world by celebrating our differences and nurturing compassion. Through creativity, I aim to share my journey and perspective with others, navigating life’s complexities together and finding beauty in our diverse experiences.

Background

My path has not been without significant challenges. I have faced financial hardship, even losing everything more than once, but these setbacks taught me resilience and gave me a deep understanding of the strength it takes to rebuild from the ground up. Life has also brought other obstacles: I am a single mother raising three children, one of whom has autism, which has added layers of both joy and complexity to my journey.

Growing up, I faced my own childhood traumas and witnessed firsthand the impact of family members dealing with mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. These experiences, along with a family history of chronic illness, have shaped my perspective and fueled my commitment to mental wellness and empathy. Through it all, I have learned to embrace life’s hardships as a powerful teacher and use them to cultivate compassion, resilience, and a desire to connect with others who may be navigating similar paths.

In sharing my story, I hope to encourage, connect, and solidarize those facing life’s unpredictable and often difficult journey. Together, let us find strength in our shared experiences and the power to rise above our challenges.
