My Story
From restart loops
to a life that moved forward.
Ever feel as though you are one decision away from everything changing - but you still cannot seem to make it? If so, you are exactly the kind of person I became a coach for.
I'm Kris, and my life has rarely followed a predictable route. I lost my sister when I was eight, broke my back in two places at 15, and at 20 lost both of my parents within a year and unexpectedly became guardian to my 13-year-old brother. There was no preparation, no instruction manual and very little time to work out who I was supposed to become.
Those experiences forced me to grow up quickly - but being able to survive difficult things did not mean I always knew how to move forward.
The years of starting again
For a long time, I lived in restart mode.
Tomorrow. Monday. Next month. One final indulgence, one better plan, one new version of Day One. I tried diets, gym routines, productivity systems and the familiar promise that this time everything would be different.
Sometimes it worked - for a while. Then something interrupted the plan and I treated that interruption as proof that I had failed. Back to zero. Back to another beginning.
Eventually, I began noticing that the real struggle wasn't a lack of information. I usually knew what I wanted to do. The struggle happened in the conversation between intention and action.
There was always a persuasive reason to wait, avoid, overprepare or choose what felt familiar. The voice sounded completely reasonable because it sounded exactly like me.
Today, I call that voice the Negotiator.
What changed
The turning point wasn't discovering more motivation or finally creating the perfect routine.
I stopped treating every difficult moment as a reason to begin again. I started paying attention to my state, my environment, the stories I was telling myself and the conditions surrounding my choices.
Most importantly, I learned to return.
One decision became evidence. Evidence slowly became trust. And that trust changed what I believed I could do.
A life I could not have predicted
My life since then has remained colourful, unconventional and occasionally difficult to explain.
I went from working as a pizza chef while barely speaking English to working aboard €300 million superyachts for some of the wealthiest people in the world. I have won gold in sailboat racing, climbed a mountain barefoot, trained in freediving and held my breath for three minutes, explored kitesurfing and reached 16th place worldwide in longevity rankings.
These experiences weren't part of one perfect master plan. Each began with curiosity, discomfort and the willingness to take the next step before I could see the entire staircase.
They taught me that we are often capable of far more than our current identity allows us to imagine. But possibility alone is not enough. We need the conditions, direction and evidence that allow us to believe it - and eventually live it.
Why I coach
That is what led me to become a certified Life and Longevity Coach.
I don't coach because I believe everyone should copy my routines, pursue extreme experiences or build the kind of life I have built. Your version of a meaningful life may look completely different from mine.
I coach because I know what it feels like to remain caught between the person you have been and the person you sense you could become.
My strength is slowing that moment down. We identify the one thing that matters, look beneath the first explanation and stay with the right questions until something new becomes visible. Then we turn that realisation into a direction, a practical step and evidence you can build upon.
You may discover that you do not need another certificate before beginning. You may realise that the problem is not laziness but the conditions surrounding your life. You may recognise that the goal you have been pursuing was never genuinely yours.
Whatever emerges, we begin with where you really are - not where you think you should be.
Where I am now
I work primarily online with people around the world, offering focused coaching shaped around the person rather than a predetermined script. I am also available in person in Galicia, northern Spain - usually somewhere between coaching, hiking, kitesurfing and researching the next subject that captures my curiosity.
I am ADHD-aware, proudly LGBTQ+ friendly and committed to creating a space where you can be honest without judgment or performance.
You don't need to have everything worked out before we speak.
Bring the one thing you keep circling. We'll start there.
