Coffee & Conversations with Motivational Speaker Kristy Jean

The holidays bring bright lights and smells of home-cooking, but getting there is a B*%@#! Unless you have a different “B” word to help–Boundaries. Join author, speaker, and educator, Kristy Jean, as she guides us through her 5 States of Decision making, featured in her motivational book “Decision Permission”, encouraging us to set boundaries that will not only help us survive the holidays, but actually enjoy them too! Guests will have an exclusive opportunity to hear Kristy Jean read excerpts from her upcoming memoir, “Please Excuse My Boundaries”, coming spring 2025 from Orange Hat Publishing.
Join us for coffee and breakfast pastries as we begin the process of preparing for the most wonderful time of the year! Copies of Decision Permission will be available at the event, but we recommend picking up your copy from Blue House Books so you can start reading in advance!

ABOUT THE BOOK
Picture yourself on the verge of making a BIG decision in your life. How do you get started? Do you grossly overthink decisions like new flooring in your home or even commitment in your relationships so much that you end up missing out on opportunities? Or maybe the opposite–do you leap into new decisions like changes in health habits and your career only to quickly regret rushing into something that you can’t sustain?
And how about decisions that are made FOR you? Do you feel the anxiety of the control slipping through your fingers, or do you prefer when others make the decision for you?
Whether your decisions are BIG or small, made by you or for you, this book proposes a new approach to the decision-making process that will allow you to “choose your own adventure” and dial into the path that makes the most sense for you at every crossroads in your life.
Anchored in various fields of education, business, science, and self-help, the five “States”: Ponder, Prepare, Produce, Persevere, and Process will guide you along an honest, reflective journey as you give yourself permission to make the decisions you’ve been longing to make–even if you’re not sure what those decisions are just yet. Begin your own journey toward “Decision Permission” to learn more about who you are, what you want, and how you can evolve into the person you were always meant to be.
