Episode 18 - Stop Waiting And Get Curious About Your Potential

On today’s episode, Krys Pappius discusses how a near-death experience prompted her to see her life for what it was and to begin a journey of self-discovery that would result in her climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Throughout the episode, we talk about how the exterior image of strength is an armor we wear to protect ourselves and eliminate the fear of making mistakes. Many of us lack an understanding of our purpose, which limits our satisfaction with all aspects of life.


We talk about the problem of people pleasing and how to create a process to turn a dream of freedom and autonomy into a reality. We focus on how coaching can help you to see the “blind spots” that are preventing you from moving forward.

Krys breaks down simple steps to get started in making these life changes. It all starts with recognizing a need to change and taking those safe, small steps that help you rise to your full potential, even in very challenging times.


About the Guest:

In 2003, Krys was in her 10th year of a career as a police officer, and as far as anyone was concerned, she was successful. Then a serious car crash woke her up to the fact that her life was unfulfilling and boring, that she was a people pleaser who no longer knew who she was or what she wanted in life. In that moment, she promised herself that she would do whatever it took to create a life for herself that had meaning and purpose. It took Krys several years of searching to discover the secret to having the life she longed for, to living life on her own terms – guilt free! As a Mindset Coach, Krys’ mission is to share what she has learned with other women who are tired of being people pleasers and who are ready to take action and create a life they love.
