I love ❤️ sharing stories of women who have gone through transformation, proving that midlife can be just the beginning.And Kristine's story is just that.Kristine Darley-Kline, like many of us, went through a challenging divorce (although it happened during the pandemic and while being weaned off of anti-anxiety medication! 😳)...But she's come out the other side of it more enlightened☀️and fulfilled.➡️➡️ Although devastated, she quickly found herself opening up to tremendous creativity and a calling to change the world.She surprised herself with a capacity for creativity and a confidence she didn't know she had.I hope you find inspiration in what Kristine has to share.And who knows, it may spark something deep inside you, too.💥Enjoy the episode!DebbieP.S. Here's the YouTube link to the video version: https://youtu.be/0vj_xrkbu9MKristine's bio:Kristine Darley-Kline is a writer and producer for film and television, a senior copywriter and a journalist who is experiencing a very creative phase in her life. It started by going through a divorce during the lockdown and weening off an anti-anxiety medication she’d been taking for 25+ years.These big changes led to being open to the world—and that’s meant discovering abilities she didn’t know she had. Not only did she film her first movie last year, she’s created her own film production company, written a book for a musical (with another one on the way), an animated TV series pilot, and an animated feature.Recently she’s been a guest on podcasts, performed standup comedy on open mic night at and she’s set to perform voiceover in her animated TV series.To connect with Kristine:Email: kristinedarleykline@gmail.comInstagram: @kristyupthestreetThanks for listening!If you'd like to know more about working with me, visit me at www.debbieharbeccoaching.com or @debbieharbec on Instagram.Or book a time to talk with me: https://calendly.com/debbie-harbec-coaching/free-consultationMusic Credit:Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/hartzmann/sunny License code: 8IEJIZYHBOCC8EWB
