We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kristi Snyder. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kristi below.
Hi Kristi , thanks for joining us today. Risking taking is a huge part of most people’s story but too often society overlooks those risks and only focuses on where you are today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – it could be a big risk or a small one – but walk us through the backstory.
Starting my coaching business was definitely a risk I took on myself. I started my career in veterinary medicine in 2008. Within a couple years into practice, it became clear that I was heading towards burnout. While I loved aspects of my job as a veterinarian, I did not love the 50+ hour work week and lack of work / life balance. However, having just spent 8 years of my life and multiple 6 figures in student loans, I was reluctant to make a change. On a whim, I worked with my first life coach (before I even knew what the coaching industry was), and I found myself enthralled with the idea that I could actually be paid to teach the personal growth work that was making such a huge difference in my own life. Soon after, I started my own coaching business, reduced my veterinary hours to part-time, and eventually went out on my own as a relief veterinarian (essentially, an independent contractor), working 2 days a week in the veterinary field and coaching with the rest of my time. My coaching business has evolved over the years, with a focus on manifestation and energetic alignment. Not only am I more fulfilled personally, I am lit up in my professional life and I have the work -life balance I’ve always wanted while thriving financially more than I ever was before. I could never be here had I not taken a risk on myself and my dreams.
Kristi , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I am a life coach, specializing in manifestation. I help my clients tune into the highest version of themselves and energetically line up with the deepest desires of their heart. I teach law of attraction and manifestation in a way that is very practical and easy to understand. I have a wealth of experience to draw on from my decade-plus of doing this work in my own life and the many clients I have worked with over the years. I am most proud of the work I have put in personally that allows me to understand energetic alignment principles on a deep level, and in turn, help my clients manifest their desires quickly. I have had clients nearly double their income and manifest their dream home working with me for less than 8 weeks.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
Running an online business is all about resilience. I’ve had to build my coaching business from the ground up, speak to an audience when I was getting crickets for response and hold the vision the entire time. There’s a lot of internal resilience required to move forward in a direction that is not the common path. This is a common theme I see among my clients as well. What they desire is not necessarily the societal norm. It takes a lot of resilience and faith to keep moving toward your dreams when the majority of people around you don’t get it.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
My clients generally find me online, through word of mouth or interviews such as these! As a manifestation coach, naturally, I believe those who are meant to find me will.
