In just a few short months with Kristy, I learned valuable life changing tools for goal setting and dream chasing. Most importantly, Kristy helped me discover the power of self determination to achieve self sustaining goals. Kristy has a way of helping me define what lights me up and break it down into manageable action steps without feeling overwhelmed, and while celebrating every little "win" along the way. Kristy is everything and more I could need in a Life Coach- she is sweet, dedicated, encouraging, bright, and fun! Her undeniable zest for life and passion for helping individuals maximize their potential is contagious and uplifting. Kristy has empowered me to overcome barriers, prioritize myself, and "do what lights you up"! "All big things come from small beginnings" read more

I just completed my first 90 day program with Kristy and there aren't enough positive words to describe how life changing this has been for me. After major health setbacks that added some interesting twists to daily living, she helped me plan and come up with achievable goals. My biggest thing was wanting to find my "new" purpose and she crushed helping me learn to adapt and overcome. I can't wait to do another session together soon. read more

I feel like everyone needs a Kristy in their lives! I love working with her magnetic and fun energy. I'm no stranger to self-help books, podcasts, and conferences but I am really impressed how transformative this experience has been. Instead of feeling like it was a task to "work on myself", she made it feel SO FUN and seamless! She has a way of decoding my scatter brain (I'm sure I'm not alone) and really provided me with clarity on the direction I need/want to take. If you need a sign to work with her, this is it! THANK YOU for everything Kristy read more

I've been working with Kristy over the past 2 month to help me hit goals and be consistent with my jewelry business. And LET ME TELL YOU, she has a magical way of pushing you to be the best version of yourself. Kristy guided me to always focus on my positives and wins, instead of getting stuck on the negatives. It was so helpful because it made me want more for myself--more things to be proud of and share. She has many methods to encourage you to reach your goals in whatever is it that you may be wanting to accomplish. Kristy is very knowledgeable and encouraging! I highly recommend her life coach services, so much so that I am continuing to take another course with her read more

Working with Kristy has been so life changing! When I started I was in a bad place in my life. I had no motivation for my goals or activities. My mindset and mental health was in the gutter and I didn't think I could recover from it. I didn't think it was worth it. But I've been life coaching with Kristy for almost 3 months now and The difference in my mental health, my mindset, and my attitude has completely changed. She helped me see the bigger picture of life and now I do have the motivation to accomplish my goals and love my life. My biggest takeaway and transformation was that I learned how to recognize when things don't serve a purpose in my life. I learned to stop living for other people and just live for myself. I didn't know how to prioritize myself whether it'd be self care, running errands or other fun activities. I always pushed aside the things that I wanted to do or needed to do to make room for the things other people wanted from me. Now I do prioritize the things that are important to me. Working with Kristy was beyond amazing. I can't say I wouldn't have accomplished my dreams and changed my mindset at some point in my life but let me tell you how fast and effective Kristy's work has been on my life! She's there to help you find your path all while being positive, supportive, and a great friend. In less than 3 months, I got into massage school, I have a plan for physical therapy school, I've made more time for my family and friends, I've become more positive, and made insane progress in my personal life. I know EXACTLY where I'm going and how to get there. She helped me see myself in a more positive way and gave me the courage to do the things I've been holding off on. I don't think i would have been where I am this quickly if it wasn't for a dedication. I'm so thankful (: read more

It has been an amazing journey working with Kristy in these past 3 months! I've always known her as a sweet, positive, down to Earth person, since back in King Intermediate days, but I really enjoyed getting on a personal level and digging deep in the 7 sessions we've had together. In the beginning of the program I was feeling pretty burnt out (it was a pretty rough and challenging previous couple months and I'm a teacher) and couldn't wait for summer to begin! Also, I felt like I needed to get a hold of things in different areas of my life and that accountability would be a major plus..especially since I wasn't feeling very confident about being disciplined and holding myself accountable at the time. Besides feeling the negative effects of being burnt out, a part of me was also feeling pumped and excited for change and was ready to as Kristy would say "put skin in the game!" Now, fast forward three months, I am feeling very proud of the goals/intentions I have accomplished and feeling bold and confident about the ones I continue to pursue that I WILL accomplish in time (bigger goals for future)! I feel driven and motivated to keep up the momentum as I begin a new school year in a couple of weeks. I know that my unique and powerful "Breakthrough Formula" she helped me create, my own 3 special words for this next year, and the new tools under my belt she has equipped me with will help me keep my fire burning! It is so hard to pinpoint the biggest takeaway and transformation from our time together. There are so many!..lol I loved that from the get-go, Kristy helped me to discover my "BMF" (big motivating factor)! I made it the name of my alarm in the morning and had it engraved on the inside of a mantra band as my "anchor" or reminder. I loved how we always started sessions on a positive note with something we were thankful for in life at the moment and ended sessions with aha's, insights, and action steps! The action steps really helped to keep me accountable to get things done. It never felt like a chore or something I dreaded, but instead something I looked forward to check off my to-do list, since they were always things that aligned with meeting my intentions/goals. I loved that during this journey I developed healthy boundaries and experienced consistency in a way I haven't in a long time. Kristy really helped me to live with more intentionality with her simple, or just the right amount of challenging, yet effective strategies! It was such a pleasure working with Kristy in the last 90 days. She truly is a beautiful soul and a badass (in the most humbling way)! She helped fan my flames till I was set on fire, or how Alicia Keys would say, "This girl is on fiiiiiiire"..lol Journaling and sipping our coffees together were one of my favorites! Sessions with Kristy always left me feeling rejuvenating and ready to conquer the day! Her positive, uplifting energy and light is what this world needs more of. Seriously tho, everyone needs a Kristy in their lives! I promise you will not regret signing up for the first "Breakthrough Session!" Go check 'um, go check 'um, GOOO! read more

Kristy is absolutely amazing at what she does, you'll figure out things you didn't even know about yourself. Her personality was made for this. Everyone can use her! read more

Kristy is an inspiration. She's a working mom and wife, who is continuously working towards her own goals all while inspiring others to do the same. Her coaching is individually tailored to her clients, which includes flexibility and realism. Throughout her coaching, she maintains her client's accountability, focuses on small steps toward achieving primary goals, and reflects on how far her clients have traveled along their journey. She provides her clients with the tools needed to achieve their goals and empowers them to refine them based on their goals/situation. At the end of a 3-month journey, clients either achieve their goals and/or maintain newly developed habits that continue the process. Kristy keeps things in perspective when you get distracted by life and is always encouraging her clients to be the best version of themselves. Her positivity and happiness radiates through her personality, which was the most inspiring trait about her. Highly recommend Kristy to others seeking life coaching. You won't be disappointed with Do What Lights You Up! read more

Kristy has been so great to work with. I found her a few months ago when I was going through a really rough period. I knew that I had to make some big changes if I wanted to get through it. Kristy was the accountability I needed! I knew I wanted to do all those things but having consistent accountability really makes a difference. Kristy helped me get back on track and I was able to reorganize my life and make time for things I've been putting off but most importantly remembering to make time for me and things that light me up. I already feel like I have a healthier balance on my business and personal life. I am waaaay less stressed and I can now focus on being in the present and keeping up with the systems we put in place that we know works for me. I think everyone needs a Kristy in your life! Thank you again for all you do! read more

Meetings with Kristy is some sunshine when there's dark clouds! I personally had some issues having confident in myself and I was nervous this was going to be like therapy, but it wasn't!! It was like talking to a friend who was helping me find strengthen within myself without it being forced or awkward. Kristy helped me discover more about myself than I thought and helped me figure out what I want to do in my future which was very refreshing cause now I feel like my path looks promising. Even when I didn't have a session with Kristy, she would text me to check in with me to make sure I'm doing well and staying on track which shows me that she cares!! I'm looking forward to more future sessions with her!! read more

I can't say enough POSITIVE things about Kristy! I started working with her towards the beginning of COVID when I was in a really dark place. I'm a self-proclaimed workaholic who had recently been laid off, I started drinking a lot, and I had become super negative. I can honestly say I had fallen into a COVID-depression. In our first discovery session she helped me to open up and get down to the root of what I wanted for myself. Each week we created goals that would help me to reach my main goal, which was to become a healthier happier version of myself. These little goals have morphed into positive habits that I still use today. It was refreshing to catch up with her weekly! She was there to celebrate every win, whether it be big or small! She was my positive fairy god mother that was there to help plan and encourage me to reach my goals. At the end of our 90 days I can honestly say that I became that happier, healthier, more confident version of myself. I lost inches around my waist and hips, I cut back on drinking, and my overall outlook on life is much brighter! If you are in need of a little push in life I highly recommend hiring Kristy! I promise you won't regret it! read more

Kristy is magical! I honestly have so many amazing things I could talk about Kristy for so long - but what I must say is if you are looking for a life coach, she is it! From day 1, connecting with Kristy was easy, motivating and exciting. Kristy really took the time to curate the right plan with me, and consistently was an amazing support that helped me reach my goals. The entire process was honestly really fun, and I still use so much of what I learned with Kristy to this day to continue reaching goals and setting new ones. She will always be my #1 when I want to invest in life coaching!! So happy I made the decision to invest in my journey and work with Kristy!! read more

Kristy is a bright light. She's such a positive, inspiring, and supportive life coach. I have had the privilege of working with her for 6 weeks so far. I've already adopted so many life changing habits. She has inspired me to tap into my creative side in order to write the book I've been dreaming of. She has helped me focus on my inner-self and my own true happiness. I can proudly say I have become a happier version of myself in just these last 6 weeks of working with her. Kristy's coaching strategies are very raw, genuine, and passionate. She always comes from a place of understanding and really aims to help people reach their full potential. I highly recommend Kristy Joy as a life coach for those looking to improve their daily lives and add a little joy to the mix. :) read more

Kristy is just an absolute godsend! I honestly feel she was put on this Earth to help people. Just an amazing person inside and out. This is definitely her calling! Her enthusiasm and motivating personality just makes you want to do better in life, and its contagious. I must admit in the beginning I was a little skeptical about these doing these sessions since I thought it was going to be a lot like therapy, when actually it was the opposite. She never judges you or makes you feel like you've done something wrong. Instead she tries to find the root of the problem and just continues to uplift and drive you till you achieve your goals. Kristy lays out a beautiful plan from start to finish that outlines steps in helping you perform beneficial tasks that will assist in executing whatever it is you want to accomplish in your life. I get excited talking to Kristy when we have our sessions because it's just a breath of fresh air. She makes you feel euphoric and her energy is infectious. Words can't express how appreciative I am for having someone like Kristy in my life. If your looking for a positive, stimulating, and engaging life coach, Kristy is exceptional! read more
