E36: TOLWM + Chrysta Bairre x Rich in Purpose, Pride, and Grace

The work and commitment to the details of self-awareness, self-love, self-regulation, self-management, and anything SELF…these details have been of great importance to me over the last many years. As I’ve met and been mentored and connected with others with the same priority of growing emotional intelligence and mental agility, I am amazed at the wisdom, compassion, creativity, and commitment to a greater good those in my growing circle of humans have. We are here to help others. We are surrounded by beautiful people eager to partner with us to heal, thrive, and expand our potential.

I’m excited to introduce you to Chrysta Bairre, my guest with her own unique and fantastic gifts of giving and supporting others. Chrysta is an advocate for herself and others. As a child she grew up in poverty primarily in the Denver area, surrounded by family members with mental illness and addiction, while her own non-apparent disability went unrecognized and undiagnosed. A queer woman with several disabilities, she fought to get the help and support she needed to thrive, and became a voice for unseen and under-served people like herself. Today, Chrysta is a career coach, speaker, and author, and through her leadership as founder of Live Love Work and She Goes High, she helps women create balance, show up in their brilliance, advocate for themselves, and find happiness in work and life. Her book, Beautiful Badass: How to Believe In Yourself Against the Odds, was published in 2020.
