    Being a guest on the Flying Upstream podcast was one of the most meaningful conversations I’ve ever had. Kristyn created such a safe, soulful space for me to share the raw truth of my journey—from selling my business and leaving behind the “perfect” life to finding freedom in the mountains of Alaska, facing down polar bears, avalanches, and brain surgery, and building a life full of purpose, courage, and adventure.

    The questions didn’t just skim the surface—they guided me deeper into the pivotal moments that shaped who I am today. I felt truly seen, heard, and uplifted. We explored what it means to build fear tolerance, to choose courage again and again, and to rewrite your life story—even after your biggest storm.

    I left the interview feeling more inspired than ever to keep sharing my lessons, leaving them in the library instead of the graveyard.

    If you’re looking for a show that honors the road less traveled and celebrates the human spirit in all its messy, magical, and mighty forms, Flying Upstream is it.

Her warmth, genuine curiosity, and ability to listen with intention created an atmosphere of trust and authenticity that made sharing my story feel effortless.


    What sets Kristyn apart is how deeply invested she is—not just in the conversation, but in the person behind it.

Whether you're talking about a personal journey, a professional passion, or a cause close to your heart, Kristyn has a remarkable gift for helping you bring your story to life.

    Her desire to spotlight meaningful conversations and elevate the voices of her guests is evident in every moment.

    I am delighted that I had the opportunity to be on Flying Upstream‘s podcast. Their professionalism is second to none.

    Our pre-podcast interview was insightful and we established a genuine connection. The podcast itself was terrific. The questions, the flow, everything was professional, and I could not have asked for more.

    The follow up after the podcast and the sharing of the relevant links with me has been seamless and all I could’ve asked for.

    If you have an opportunity to guest on their podcast, you would be crazy not to take advantage of it.

    It was a pleasure to be a guest on the Flying Upstream podcast. Luisa & Kristyn were very accommodating and asked insightful questions. I enjoyed the truth or dare game at the beginning and was thinking of stealing that idea for my own podcast (haha just kidding!) Since it was my first time as a panelist on a live stream, I wasn't sure what to expect, but was well prepared by the hosts and found it a great experience. Thanks for the opportunity.
