Hi, I'm Kristen! Multi-passionate creative who loves hiking, flowers, being mindful, giving gifts and helping you be your best self.

The mind of a multi-passionate creative. There are a lot of ideas buzzing, a lot of ‘what if’s’ as new thoughts come up, and lots of enthusiasm for all the potential we could create.
There also can be a lot of doubt for many of us. Overwhelm with not knowing where to start with our ideas. Disappointment if we change our minds or things don’t pan out how we thought.
It’s incredible being a multi-passionate and seeing so much beauty in the world.
Going through the thick of it right now with wanting to do so much, but being paralyzed on how to do all I want to and being successful at doing so.
Slowing down, writing everything down, knowing I don’t have to have all the answers, and seeing what new potential creations are around the corner.
A simple reminder and share of what makes me tick helps to ease the mind and get out of my mind and into action again.
What if? Why not?!

Keeping it really real with you…I find it so hard to use social media to build my ideas and connect with those who I find interesting or would like to learn from.
It genuinely feels unnatural to me. I know you can be authentic and find your place, but even in person I struggle to create those genuine relationships, so trying to figure that out here is difficult.
I’m nothing but relentless when I’m passionate about accomplishing something, however, so finding my rhythm and pace will come, I’m sure of it. Learning to be more patient with myself will only help this process.
Just a friendly reminder to myself that things may be hard and uncomfortable, but anyone can find peace in figuring out the right way for them to accomplish their goals and it doesn’t have to look like the rest of the world.

Happy Veteran’s Day 🇺🇸
Thank you to all who have or are currently serving. Your sacrifices are immense. Your time and commitment to this country is appreciated more than you may know.

Success should only be defined by oneself.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the rat race, but your life is your own for a reason, and striving for someone else’s definition of it is only holding you back.
A reminder that your own pace, desires, and ultimately goals are perfect for you.
Pause. Breathe. Repeat.

Hello 👋🏻 A little bit on what Kristen Guiles Creative is, and the goals I’ve set for it.
In all honesty this is another fresh start for me. For a long time I’ve had so many business ideas and desires, but none have ever officially come to life. So, I’m taking a new approach. One day at a time, one step at a time.
With the experience I’ve gained thus far in the corporate world, and some big life changes happening, I’m taking another serious stab at working for myself and having time for my own hobbies and lifestyle needs.
I’ll be focusing on working with florists, flower growers, gardeners, and others in the horticulture field. It’s something I’m so passionate about and find so much joy in, and a field I want to learn more about.
I’m opening my services for general admin, website support, blogging, and customer service to this field of work.
Over the next two months I’ll be building my website, finding small roles, and networking.
We have our first baby due in February, so it will be a slow start to get things moving, but a nice foundation for when I am ready to dive in fully and hopefully staying home with the baby.
A more sincere intro post about myself to come, but thank you to all who read this and to myself for establishing and committing to this venture.

Fall on the in Michigan 👋🏻

✨ 2️⃣ 8️⃣ ✨
2️⃣7️⃣ brought me a husband, a promotion, new people, new places, and a lot of joy.
It also had quite a bit of anxiety and feeling sorry for myself. With that it brought me the inner fire to really figure out who I am and what I want and the desire for how I will rediscover or just put myself back on a track of wayyyyy less stress, more hobbies, and more time spent doing things I love than staying busy all of the time.
A pandemic, a few weddings, a new job, great coworkers, the best friends I could ever ask for, a wonderful, supportive husband, and our last year in Montana is how I spent 2️⃣7️⃣ and I am beyond full of gratitude for all that it was.
For 2️⃣8️⃣ I’ll be traveling to a lot of new places with my husband (not something we have gotten to do much of together), continue working hard at my job, working on going back to school full time, buying a house 🏡🤞🏻, adopting a dog, moving back to our home state, spending a lot more time with friends and family, continue working on myself both mentally and physically, finish my CPT training 🏋🏼‍♀️, spend way more time outside in general and way less time on my phone and computer 👩🏼‍💻
You know, just a few things. Blessed to learned, experienced, and felt what I have to be who I am and where I am ✨

Lots of thoughts, feelings, and energy swirling around in my head lately, or always...
I know that I’m about to have a major breakthrough in several areas of my life when my anxiety is a bit heightened by the things going on around me. It’s hard for me not to take on outside energy.
So I’ve come here to try and get some of those thoughts and feelings and ideas out of my head. I know a blog would be a better way to document my journey, and that will come, like I always tell myself, but it truly will come eventually.
Not assuming or taking on what others might think of me is exhausting and ongoing, but it is also driving confidence. I am who I am through how I express myself, and I am someone who needs multiple things to do, to be learning and growing and morphing.
Stagnant energy = I’m bored and need more.
When I feel I need more I end up with some overwhelm because a million ideas come crashing in and only a couple are valid and ones I care to invest my time and energy in.
Lots of flow of ideas, stagnant energy that doesn’t serve me, and new changes happening.
I’m here to accept all that is for me and to continue creating who I am supposed to be and not who I think others need me to be.

When I find myself in the midst of a transition (I have a hard time not getting bored) I find myself struggling with my anxiety and my multi-passionate identity.
Between work, going back to school, and now moving back across the country, I’m nothing short of being in transition. This time though, I feel less anxious, have more ideas and plans for myself and for how I see our future. It’s new to say the least.
I’m so grateful to be sharing I’m experiencing minimal anxiety, continuing to grow professionally, and in my schooling. I’m happy to report I’m taking on another piece of the puzzle that is my life - it’s truly exhilarating.
I say this because I feel for so long I would only have anxiety with many big changes and additions and new opportunities and not really knowing what my path is.
I say this because while it’s taken so much time, things to change, we change, we grow, and we come into ourselves at our own time.
No one persons timing is better or more right. No one persons reasoning foe their path and career is better or right. No one fits a role better or more right.
Transition is so funny, strange, exhilarating, or more perfect timing when it calls us to it.

Patience.
Patience in learning more about myself everyday. Patience in choosing to make better habits. Patience to better my mind and body through practice.
Patience is a hard skill to learn, to practice, but it is a great teacher, a reminder, a lesson.
A lesson: you don’t have all of the answers you need, at every given moment of your life. You can change your mind. You can pivot. You can find your career today or in 30 years. You can move or stay still. You are all that you need to be to continue becoming or continue being who you are.

May we all find peace with letting go of what no longer serves us, behaviors that hurt us, people who have hurt us, and all of the new opportunities and growth of the season.

I haven’t shared much about it here, but I’m establishing a non-profit, in Grand Rapids, MI!
We will be moving back to the Midwest this summer so I’m working on lots of paperwork and behind the scenes at the moment.
I have a few interested parties, but I am still looking for board members! If you’re in Michigan and interested in being part of the nonprofit please reach out!
Our mission states: we work to improve the well-being of those in the community through the use of plants and flowers 💐
Please let me know if you have questions, know of someone who may be interested in joining or have any insights into this new venture 🪴
