Beyond Work
Client Feedback
Outside of my work, you'll usually find me trail running, training for mountain races, practicing yoga, traveling, or learning new dance steps.
Running and dancing continue to teach me many of the same lessons I explore with clients: self-trust, uncertainty, resilience, awareness, and the willingness to be a beginner.
Those lessons shape both how I live and how I work.
"Kristen’s leadership has been a cornerstone of my personal and professional growth. She challenged me to think differently about both the practice I want to build and the life I want to live, which has had a lasting impact on how I lead, prioritize, and show up day to day.
I’m truly grateful for the perspective and encouragement she’s given me. It’s invaluable."

Meet Kristen Marks
I've always been achievement-oriented.
Before building and selling my estate planning law firm, I built a successful Mary Kay business from scratch and eventually earned the coveted Pink Cadillac. Later, I launched My Pink Lawyer®, grew it into a thriving law firm, led a team, and raised two children alongside my husband while building the business.
Like many accomplished women, I believed that if I could just reach the next milestone, life would finally feel lighter, easier, less stressful, and more fulfilling.
Instead, each new level of success seemed to bring a new set of challenges, responsibilities, and pressures.
Over time, I realized the issue wasn't my business, my schedule, my team, or the next goal I hadn't yet achieved.
It was the hidden patterns shaping how I interpreted situations, carried responsibility, navigated uncertainty, and experienced my life.
As I began to recognize those patterns, regulate my nervous system, challenge long-held assumptions, and respond more intentionally, my experience of life started to change.
What I Believe
You've built a successful life.
But achievement and enjoyment are not always the same thing.
Many accomplished women spend years creating careers, businesses, relationships, and opportunities they once wanted, only to discover that something still feels off.
Not because their lives are broken.
Because the hidden patterns shaping their experience remain invisible.
I believe life is meant to be enjoyed, not merely endured.
And I believe we have far more influence over our experience than we often realize.
