Greetings, How are you? How's your spirit? I hope all is well with you. I am Kristina Darby, and I desire to change the societal definition of normal. I am a permanent vacationer, life coach, author of I Aspire to Inspire, Before I Die, You...I Choose You (Love Letters to Myself), How to Fail Your Way to Success: A Teenagers Guide to Adulting, plus Broke Is A State of Mind, researcher, and teacher of self healing…just to name a few of the things I enjoy doing. I have traveled the world, five of seven continents, and lived amongst all walks of life. We are universal beings. We are domesticated, geographically, according to whatever the richest in that land desire for the masses. Our products, are becoming mostly chemicals. Have you read the back of a child focused snack lately? I said all that to say, we need change and we need it now. I would like to speak at your future events. I will speak on how to heal from childhood trauma, leadership skills, emotional intelligence, the strategic systematic domestication of humans, the importance of self sustainability, and on how to beat the societal normal of becoming a robot through self love. We are robots, born and raised by robot parents, taught by robot teachers, and governed by robot politicians. No one wants to go against the “normal”, not knowing there is no such thing as normal. Normal is person by person based. No one is teaching us to get to know ourselves nor are they delivering the necessary tools for us to do so if they are pushing the message. I travel the world studying humans, and coast to coast, continent to continent, we are all the same just in different places in the world. Humans are the most domesticated animal walking this planet, and I desire to change that. Will you help me change it?
