Why Radical Self Love?

“RSL has been so impactful for me and in my journey to better and understand myself. Imagine all the wonderful things it can do for our students. I had never heard or met anyone with this mindset/framework and it is beyond special to have someone like Krista to guide me through this both on a personal and professional level!” -Xóchitl Pérez (Credential candidate in special education)

“When Krista leads a Radical Self Love workshop, she honors everyone in the group, holding space for vulnerability and mirroring how we can honor and love ourselves fully… all the parts of ourselves. I have been changed by these workshops to sit, in love, with myself more fully and learn to act from that love more easily.

-Jan Peterson (Retreat Participant)

"Through her radical self-love retreats, Krista has taught me the importance of honoring my needs and boundaries—that my 'no' is just as good as my 'yes.' She has helped me realize that while I care deeply for others, sometimes I need to let them find their own way instead of taking on their struggles as my own. Most importantly, she has taught me that love is a feeling my own body, my heart, generates. While the people around me may open or close my heart to love, ultimately, I have control over my heart and can choose to feel love whenever I want. Krista creates a safe, nurturing space for people to learn, grow, and work through these lessons with honesty and vulnerability. Her compassion, wisdom, and unwavering support make her an incredible guide on this journey

Learning from Krista has been powerful and I hope to continue learning from her.  For now, I try to remember, practice, and embody this wisdom in my day-to-day life. It will take time, but it’s something worth doing—because I am worth it."

“Working with Krista has shown me how to internally accept who I am as a person, and celebrate my uniqueness. Krista embodies a feeling of safety, comfort and joy. Her wisdom on advocating for yourself and letting yourself be truly who you are is beyond me. After an incredibly emotional day of realizing why I am worthy of RSL…Krista is always there with a hug and words of advice. When I’m not sure how to take care of myself in the moment, I think to myself…what would Krista say? And I know how to self soothe. My love for her is internal!”
