HER STORY ⟡ Kristie Michelle Lammi
Hi there, I’m Kristie Michelle Lammi! I’m a Certified Reiki Master & Master Mindset Coach who founded Soul-Aligned Success to help ambitious women learn how to create success on their terms that honors who they are at a soul level.
I have a background in Hospitality - I'm the former Director of Sales for the world’s largest hotel company, prior to that I was a National Sales Manager for the world’s largest casino corporation with a portfolio of over 40 properties with tens of thousands of hotel rooms and hundreds of thousands of square feet of meeting and event space.
And I combine my experience of over 15 years in business, sales, and customer service, with multiple coaching and healing modalities - to help women align on a holistic level to their goals inviting in more joy, fulfillment, and freedom - making success more attainable and sustainable, and challenging stress as the status quo.
I absolutely love advocating for women’s success - in an aligned way. It’s my mission to help ambitious women be their own best advocates and get out of their own way by mastering their energy, mindset, and emotions, and gain rock-solid confidence and resilience. In other words, become unshakeable and unstoppable.
WHAT INSPIRED ME TO START MY BUSINESS:
Similar to many entrepreneurs, my business was born from my desire to solve problems within my own life, and the results I experienced excited me so much I knew I had to share them with others. In October of 2016, I hit rock bottom when I realized I couldn't keep up with my big dreams. I’d climbed the corporate ladder and checked all the boxes on a traditional model of success, but I was miserable and unhealthy in every single way.
On the outside, I looked successful, but I was burnt out and clinically depressed, 50lbs overweight and felt like trash all the time, an emotional wreck, and completely unexcited about my life. I knew there was a better way to achieve success - without sacrificing my health and sanity - and I was determined to create it - on my terms. Shortly thereafter I found coaches and healers to support me and I dove headfirst into the world of personal development. It didn’t happen overnight, but I quickly went from being stuck, miserable, and stressed to achieving far more than I'd ever imagined for myself...
I healed myself of depression and crippling anxiety, learned to honor and process my emotions to step off the emotional rollercoaster for good, cultivated love for my physical body, and released 50 pounds and also healed my chronic neck and back pain, and I set up daily routines that keep me inspired, motivated and lit up about my life and business!
I became the most healthy version of myself; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually while running two businesses, becoming debt-free, and achieving so many more goals I can't even list them all here!! My results were so profound that they lit a fire in my soul to help others find success in a more holistic, healthy way.
I now know the old model of success just simply wasn't built with ambitious women in mind. and I'm tired of watching incredible women be where I used to be - burning the candle at both ends, sacrificing happiness, health, and well-being to create an unsustainable model of success.
Which is exactly why I created Soul-Aligned Success. The Soul-Aligned Success approach allows you to re-write the rules about success and show up in a way that makes success sustainable and soul-aligned for you. It helps you create the custom success path based on your needs, values, priorities, and goals that will fit into your lifestyle - addressing your specific needs by providing you with the tools, education inspiration, and healing to create a success that encompasses all areas of your life and career.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT BEING A BUSINESS OWNER:
There are so many things I love about being my own boss.
I get to do work I love that serves ambitious women in deeply transformational ways. It fuels me and lights me up from my soul to know that the coaching and healing work I’m doing is helping women create a life they love and call in the success they desire. I truly want every woman to succeed.
I get to be my own boss. Corporate life was just not for me. I had bosses who cared way more about profit than people (to be fair I did work for some great companies and great bosses too, and I learned so much) but as a sales professional, I decided I’d rather be making money for myself than for someone else and ditch toxic work environments.
Being my own boss allows me freedom in every way. I get to do the work I want, I get to work with who I want, I get to set my own rates, my boss is awesome, and there’s no glass ceiling. I also get to write my own schedule so I can spend more time with my loved ones, and devote more time to my health (mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually). I get to take time off whenever I want to travel (no more only 14 days of PTO), and I’ve always wanted to be a mother so having flexibility is important to me.
Being a business owner can be tough, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I get to build my business around the lifestyle I desire and write my own rules on success so I can live a life in alignment with my values and what’s important to me.
ADVICE I'D GIVE MY PAST SELF:
You have to become your own best advocate. If I had learned this lesson earlier in life I would have skipped out on a bunch of unnecessary struggle (but I definitely learned from it so I’m not beating myself up for it). This is literally one of the reasons why I started my business because I struggled so much my whole life with figuring out what I wanted and how to get it.
I was filled with fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs about what I was capable of. I was paralyzed by social anxiety, perfectionism, and people - pleasing. And I honestly thought that if I just kept working hard and doing good work then someone else would recognize me, hand me the success I desired, and, voila, my life would be complete. I had big dreams - but the way I was taught to achieve success was not working. And it was because I was listening to what society says is required for success in a traditional way.
So I had to learn that no one is going to save you - you have to save yourself, and your success just doesn’t magically appear on a silver platter. Especially the success that you as a unique soul desire to achieve. And in order to create that success you have to be your own best advocate. Being your own best advocate is really about making intentional choices every single day that honor your desired success - whether that’s in health, relationships, business, finances, parenting, or any other area of your life.
Advocating for yourself is about loving and respecting yourself enough to know your worth, and being unapologetic about what you want for yourself. You can’t be shy about claiming and asking for what you want, and you can’t be afraid to do it in a way that works for you. It’s about tapping into your own authority and autonomy and knowing what you desire is meant for you, knowing that you can learn and acquire the skills and knowledge you need to bridge any gap, including the confidence and resilience needed to show up daily committed to taking action.
At the end of the day, it’s your life - it’s up to you to make the most of it. You get to decide to show up and go after what you want, and becoming your own best advocate is the way you do this. This lesson is what transformed my life and is now helping me transform the lives of my clients.
WHAT I WANT BEAUTY BOOST MEMBERS TO KNOW:
Women are so magical. We are beautiful, we are innovative and intuitive, and we get sh*t done. Our possibilities are limitless and we are so so generous - when women succeed the whole world benefits. When a business is women-owned or has women in the c-suite - the company makes more money, the culture is more inclusive, and there’s higher morale and performance across the board. Successful women donate more time, money, and energy to charitable causes than men do. Women use their success to lead and inspire others - lifting everyone around them up and spreading the wealth in so many ways. This means your success serves everybody and creates such far-reaching ripple effects that you may never see all the people’s lives you’ve touched. That’s how freaking powerful and amazing we are and knowing that - it is our job to create our own version of success and use that success to help other women achieve their success.
