Kristen focuses on helping pageant queens & aspiring queens create clarity and confidence in their personal brand voice and visuals to create a rockin' pageant brand.I was really excited to learn all about Kristin's history and how she got into pageantry. I've never spoken to anyone who's been in pageantry before, and if you haven't either you're in for a treat. Her story is unusual in that she started in pageantry at the age of 30. Most girls start out younger than that. Kristin’s learned so much through the process of competing over the past few years, and this led her into wanting to help other queens and aspiring queens get crystal clear on their messaging, and how to tell their stories in a powerful way.If you're like me, you're looking forward to finding out a bit about the behind the scenes pageant lifestyle; it seems both glamorous and rigorous.I had so many questions, and Kristen did a great job of answering those and more so listen in and get a glimpse into the pageantry world.
