Kristina Driscoll is the founder of She’s Brave, a platform dedicated to inspiring women through storytelling, bold action and community building.

After years in the finance industry, Kristina’s life took an unexpected turn when she became a full-time caregiver for her husband, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. This transformative experience fueled her passion for empowering women to overcome adversity and pursue their dreams.

Through the She’s Brave podcast community, Kristina shares authentic stories of courage, resilience, and triumph, fostering a supportive space for women to connect, learn, and grow together.

Her mission is to ignite the inner bravery within every woman, encouraging them to create lives filled with purpose, passion and joy. Today, Kristina has found love again and is remarried, living outside Seattle, Washington. As a mother to her beloved son, Kristina continues to inspire women worldwide, demonstrating that love, strength, and resilience can transform life’s challenges into opportunities for growth and fulfillment.


Kristina's Notes from the Sidelines:

  1. Midlife women go through an identity crisis - it happens because we realize we don't have infinite amounts of time and we want more.
  2. Try this exercise: reach out to 5 people you love and ask how they see you and what they think your strengths are.
  3. Putting yourself first isn't easy, so start by taking one brave action such as starting your day powerfully. Carving out time for yourself in the morning tells your brain and body that you matter.
  4. Stop beating yourself up for being a people pleaser; it's a result of thousands of years of conditioning.
  5. Why are we inauthentic? Because we are afraid of losing people.
  6. When you are vulnerable with people, your relationships deepen.
  7. To deal with tech, curate your social media feed, leave your phone at home when you go out with loved ones, and post without scrolling.
  8. It's okay to disagree and speak up for yourself.
  9. If you live inauthentically, you will be unhappy. We must have the courage to be authentic; our happiness depends on it.
  10. Gratitude is the easiest first step toward living authentically. Wake up and write down 3 things you're grateful for and look at the list in a week. Notice the magic that comes your way.
  11. Give yourself permission to rest, work at your own pace, and do things your own way.
