For most of her life, Kristin Pierce was dominantly a left-brained, logical thinker who was greatly unaware of the many creative bones within her. For the past decade, she has been developing her intuition, which has allowed her to dismantle loads of limiting beliefs that were hiding her creative bones. In doing so, she discovered she was able to unearth other right-brain qualities that were nearly impossible for her to access since childhood--including creativity, imagination, and innovation--which allowed all kinds of wonderful things to unfurl, such as these books.
Kristin is a self-awareness educator whose mission is to empower others to deconstruct the limiting beliefs that are keeping them small and stuck in order to rise to their potential, come alive, and impact the world. She is constantly asking questions, challenging old ways of thinking, stretching her comfort zone, dreaming big, and encouraging and inspiring others to do the same.
She lives in Saskatchewan, Canada with her husband, two children, and their dog. To learn more visit www.InnerCompassBooks.com or find her on Instagram @InnerCompassBooks.
