We believe success should feel good, not just look good.

We help high-achieving hot mess humans pause, breathe, and find humor in the chaos.

Start Here: Join the Break & Bloom Journey

Laugh, reset, and find a fresh perspective on ambition. Inspiration and behind-the-scenes updates, delivered (sporadically).

    3 out of 4 women feel burned out.

    Break & Bloom started as my personal mission to escape the burnout cycle and rediscover what success really means. If you’ve ever cried in your car between meetings or said “yes” when you meant “absolutely not,” welcome home.

    Rest Isn’t a Luxury. It’s a Necessity.

    We believe calm, creativity, and connection aren’t just nice-to-haves. They’re how we find balance (even when life feels like a dumpster fire).

    Permission to Pause

    Rest isn’t lazy. It’s how you refuel and reset.

    Creativity as Self-Care

    Making a mess is sometimes the best way to clear your mind.

    Humor Saves Us

    When life feels like a lot, laughter is our favorite coping mechanism.

    Connection Over Chaos

    Slow down, breathe, and build real connections (no judgment).

    Break & Bloom started with one hot mess human.

    Hi there! I’m Kris. A recovering perfectionist who’s lived through ambition, burnout, and rebuilding from the ground up.

    I’ve felt the exhaustion, the overwhelm, the pressure to do it all.

    That’s why I created Break & Bloom: to help people pause, reset, and grow. From creating spaces of calm across the planet to building tools for balance, this mission is bigger than me—it’s about all of us.

    Growth Takes a Village (and a Few Trees)

    Trees are nature’s ultimate reset button—and honestly, we could all use one. They remind us of what is possible when we nurture something with care:

    • Roots for stability.

    • Branches to stretch and explore.

    • Leaves to let go of what no longer serves us.

    Every time you invest in yourself through Break & Bloom, we plant a tree—helping you grow while making a lasting impact on the planet.
