About Me

Apparently the MBA didn’t come with an adulting manual.

Hi, I’m Kristen – and somewhere along the way, I apparently became the adult. Still not entirely sure who approved that.

I’m in my 40s, raising a teenager, building a career I’m proud of, and recently added an MBA to the mix. On paper, that sounds like I should have things pretty figured out. In reality, I’m still Googling things, overthinking things, laughing at things I probably shouldn’t, and wondering when exactly everyone else got the instruction manual.

This blog is where I talk about all of it – career, motherhood, dating, money. life in your 40s, and all the messy stuff in between. Not because I have all the answers, but because, I’m pretty sure most of us are just figuring it out as we go.

A Few Things About Me

Dodgers baseball. Country music. Concerts. A good glass of wine. Dogs. Family. Sarcasm. Buying tickets to things I probably don’t need to buy tickets to. And occasionally pretending I have my life together.

I’m equal parts ambitious and ridiculous, and I firmly believe life is way too short to take yourself too seriously.

Come Say Hi

Apparently oversharing on the internet is part of the plan now.

Have a story that made you think “Well, apparently I’m the adult too”? a blog topic you want me to tackle? or just want to say hi?

I’d love to hear from you.
