From CPA to Creative Entrepreneur – Kristi Stangeland’s Story | UA07

From CPA to Creative Entrepreneur – Kristi Stangeland’s Story | UA07

In this delightful interview with Kristi Stangeland, we explore why she left a successful accounting career to search for something that would help her feel more whole.

Kristi started her journey by asking herself the age-old question, “Is there something more?” The answer was a resounding, “Yes!”. But it didn’t happen all at once. To find her answers, Kristi adopted an attitude of exploration and creativity. 

We dive into Kristi’s thought processes as she first decided to create her own business as a website designer, study the ancient art of Feng Shui, buy a gorgeous property in Maine where she could offer a variety of experiences and retreats and, ultimately, founded her meditation-focused My ParaVita Circle membership.

Kristi takes women on insightful adventures through meditation, retreats and Feng Shui. You can find out more about Kristi’s latest offerings at https://myparavita.com/ or you can go there to join her My ParaVita Circle community.

My mission in this podcast is to help you find the freedom to become who you want. In every episode I arm you with one useful idea or strategy you can use immediately to start taking your life in a beautiful, new direction.

MY PODCAST LAUNCH CONTEST – FIRST 4 WEEKS ONLY!

This is your last week to enter my podcast launch contest to win a super fun dream analysis session. To enter this contest, you’ll need to subscribe for “The Unlikely Artist” on Apple Podcasts and leave me a review. To leave your review once you’ve subscribed, scroll down and click on “Ratings & Reviews”. You’ll be asked to give the podcast a rating and then to write your review. It can be as short as you like. Make sure to take a photo of your review and post it on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn and tag me (https://www.instagram.com/gracedcanvascoaching/, https://www.facebook.com/heatherirenekerr, https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherkerr/) or send me an email to heather@gracedcanvas.com with a copy of your photo so I’ll know who you are and can reach you if you win!

When I see your photo, I’ll add your name to a hat. I’ll be doing a weekly draw for a free one-hour dream analysis session. This session is something outside my normal coaching program, so it’s a rare opportunity. It’s a fun and useful way to access deeper truths about what you really want and inner wisdom that could really serve you right now. If you’re not the kind of person who remembers your dreams, no problem! I have another fun way to apply the dream methodology to your waking thoughts and get similar insights.

ABOUT ME:

I’m a former international tax lawyer and senior partner with Ernst & Young. I left the law in 2014 to learn how to paint. After a couple years painting and selling my work, I became passionate about helping other people who feel stuck in their careers and lives and want to feel more personally fulfilled, invigorated and soul connected. I now spend my time painting, coaching and creating live events at the George Russell Academy of Creative Expansion in beautiful Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada.
