I used to think marriage was a destination.
But it turned out to be more work than I ever imagined—
and more beautiful than I ever knew.

I thought a wedding was just a celebration.
But planning mine brought up everything I hadn’t yet healed.

And instead of pushing it down, I let it rise.
Because I knew—this was the real invitation:
to become the kind of partner I wanted to be.

To love on purpose.
To break the cycles my family never could.

Motherhood cracked me open even more.
Postpartum psychosis unearthed wounds I didn’t know I was carrying.

It taught me that healing isn’t optional—
it’s leadership.
It’s legacy.

Now, I help others move through life’s biggest thresholds—
not just to survive them,
but to be transformed by them.

Through intentional retreats, immersive experiences, and honest conversation,
I guide couples, families, and cycle-breakers back to themselves—

so they can lead with love, create with clarity, and show up for their future with both feet in.

Because your wedding, your family, your becoming—
they aren’t just milestones.

They’re mirrors.
And if you’re willing to look…
they’ll change everything.

With heart,
Kristen Lee Mansourian
