Build a meaningful business inspired by what you've lived through.
I'll help you turn your lived experience into a Next Chapter Business™ – one that creates freedom, helps others and feels aligned with who you've become.
Sometimes the hardest chapters of our lives reveal the business we're really here to build.
You don't just need a business strategy. You need someone who can help you make sense of your experience, uncover the opportunity hidden inside it, and build a business that's aligned with who you've become—not who you used to be.
That's exactly why I created The RISE Framework™.
The RISE Framework™ - The four-stage process I use to help people build businesses inspired by grief, redundancy, illness or any big life change..
Reflect
Make sense of what's changed, explore your business idea(s) and notice if it fits with who you are now. Together we'll uncover your strengths, values, experiences and the unique perspective that will shape your Next Chapter Business™️.
Identify
Validate the purpose, mission and business idea emerging from what you've lived through. We'll explore who you want to help, the impact you want to make, and whether your idea has the potential to become something meaningful and sustainable.
Shape
Turn your idea into a business people genuinely need. We'll refine your positioning, offers, messaging and plan, so what you build is that's aligned with your purpose and commercially viable.
Embody
Become the person who brings it to life. Learn to market authentically, attract the right people, grow sustainably, and build a business that supports your wellbeing, financial freedom and long-term ambitions.

Hello, I'm Krissie 👋
I believe some of the world's most meaningful businesses are born from lived experience.
I've spent over a decade building and growing businesses through strategy and marketing. After losing my mum and rebuilding my own life, I realised I wanted to use those skills differently—to help people build businesses inspired by what they've lived through.
“Since working with Krissie, I've gained so much clarity around what it is I really want to bring to life . The combination of Krissie's creative brain and business mindset is insanely useful. I feel like I'm finally moving forward with my business idea, so exciting! I feel more confident and aligned than ever.”

Through mentorship, I provide the support, structure, and strategy you need to turn that idea into something real. Together, we'll build a business that's true to who you've become.
