But then she met the world. The world told her to be quiet\, sit nicely\, and fit in at all costs. So\, like so many of us\, she learned to please\, to excuse\, to shrink. Little by little\, she lost herself.​ \n“Please Excuse My Boundaries” is a raw\, unapologetic exploration of what happens when we trade authenticity for acceptance—and what it takes to reclaim ourselves. Through personal stories and hard-earned lessons\, Kristy Jean unpacks the ways she excused her fears\, ignored her needs\, and let others dictate her worth. But this isn’t just her story—it’s an invitation to examine your own. \nAbout KRISTY JEAN \nKristy Jean is a blended mom of four\, wife\, educational leader\, speaker\, and author whose mission is to help all of us redefine and live our most authentic lives. She holds a Master of Science in Educational Administration as well as Principal and Director of Instruction licensures. She values blending the expertise of education\, business\, and wellness professionals for a more holistic perspective in her personal and professional lives. \nHer first book\, “Decision Permission: Five States of Support For Every Level of Decision Making”\, is a culmination of these experiences\, as she proposes a new approach to the decision-making process. Born out of her personal experiences & research in various fields\, the five “States”: Ponder\, Prepare\, Produce\, Persevere\, and Process provide a framework to support readers as they make (and respond to) decisions throughout their lives. These States also anchor her speaking & coaching work with individuals\, groups\, and businesses\, as they collaborate with Kristy Jean to define an authentic identity and produce decisions that align with their goals.​ \nShe is a frequent guest expert on NBC’s “The Morning Blend”\, bringing viewers inspiring content around facing & embracing change\, blended families\, and setting boundaries in our lives. \nKristy Jean’s work centers around her passion to meet you where you are at this moment and to personalize the journey toward your goals so that you (and your team) confidently make your own decisions\, embrace change\, and set clear boundaries to achieve your own definition of success. \nShe lives in Wisconsin with her blended family of six who love to play board games & enjoy quality time in the Northwoods.
