Unlock Your
UNCONVENTIONAL LIFE
Upcoming Workshops
Pen + Presence is a 4-month creative writing circle for anyone who feels the quiet (or not-so-quiet) pull to write—but doesn’t want more pressure, perfection, or performance.
This is not about becoming “a writer” or producing something polished. It’s about showing up. Slowing down. Listening. Letting your words meet you exactly where you are.
Over ten gentle, in-person gatherings, we’ll create a steady rhythm of presence and creative momentum. Each session offers simple prompts, spacious writing time, and the option to share—or simply listen. You can write in a journal, on your phone, on a laptop, or not write at all. Stillness counts. Being here counts.
Between sessions, we’ll stay connected through a supportive WhatsApp group, so even if life pulls you away some weeks, you’re still held in the process.
If you’ve been carrying a story, a book, poems, reflections, or feelings that want somewhere to land—this is your invitation.
No experience needed. No rules. Just courage, community, and a place to begin.

I'm the founder of Mom Vegan Love, a portrait photographer, life coach and author of the Amazon bestselling book The Unconventional Addict. My why lives in my children, my recovery, and my choice to live a plant-based life—really, it’s about aliveness. About remembering the light within and daring to live on purpose. Through my writing, coaching, and photography, I support people in finding their spark and taking small, brave steps toward a life that feels like their own.
I’m so glad you’re here!
Welcome, I’m Kristine.

Reviews of
The Unconventional Addict
This is THE most real, raw, and relatable book I have ever read!
I loved the way Kristine perfectly articulated pieces of her story, but then left thought-provoking questions to the reader so we could self-reflect. I'm blown away by the uniqueness and authenticity that I felt chapter after chapter. Not only did I leave feeling more connected to her but also to myself as I worked through each exercise with great intention…I'm certain reading this book was a divine appointment for me and I can't wait to see the impact that this has on my life and lives of many others! Kristine, you ARE a world changer! Thank you for authentically and genuinely being YOU!

Amazing book, must read!
Kristine authentically shares her journey with addiction. This is not your “ordinary” addiction or recovery book. This is a book about how addiction hides in spaces in our life we sometimes don’t notice or we deny. The chapters end with amazing exercises that have you feel like Kristine is right by your side cheering you on.
