Coaching for Women in Agriculture

A Coaching Program for Women in Agriculture!

The Empowered Ascent™ Group Program is Dr. Kristen’s signature 3-month program designed to help women take intentional, smart steps toward improving their physical, emotional, and intellectual wellness. 

Designed from Kristen’s years of research and personal experiences, this “Rooted in Wellness” Spring 2026 cohort aims to empower women involved in agriculture to ascend to new heights with actionable strategies and insights for personal and professional growth on and off the farm.

Since Kristen knows first-hand what it takes to navigate family, farm, and professional life, the Spring cohort is designed specifically for women in agriculture who are looking to find more purpose, peace, joy, and balance so that they can thrive in their daily lives on and off the farm.

You don’t have to do it alone…come join our community of women who “get it” and begin to take steps toward a life of improved balance and well-being.

Note: this exclusive group program only launches one time per year during the Spring.

Meet Your Coach

If you're a woman in agriculture, you don’t need someone who just understands “work-life balance” in theory. You need someone who understands planting and harvest seasons…the long days…the mental load…the unpredictability…and the pressure.

I’m a transformational life coach, speaker, author, mom of three, and the wife of a third-generation farmer in Illinois. For over 20 years, I’ve navigated the beautiful and demanding rhythm of agriculture—supporting our farm through busy seasons, raising a family, building a career, and learning (sometimes the hard way) that doing it all doesn’t mean doing it alone.

I know what it feels like to love this life deeply…and still feel stretched thin.
To be strong… and still crave support.
To show up for everyone else… and quietly lose yourself in the process.

Years ago, I longed for a community of women who understood this unique life. I created the “Rooted in Wellness” Spring Cohort of my Empowered Ascent™ Program specifically for women involved in agriculture because it’s exactly what I needed back then: a circle of women in ag who are ambitious, capable, faith-filled, resilient…and who are ready for more peace, clarity, intention, joy and improved well-being.

You don’t have to choose between thriving on the farm and thriving in your own life. Come join us!

Testimonials

  • Jessica started the program with the goal to focus on herself personally and professionally. As a C-level executive to a global company, and the wife to a full-time farmer, she had a full plate between her work responsibilities, her 3 school-aged children, and a busy farming season. After 4 weeks in the program, Jessica realized she had been struggling to show up authentically at work as a female leader, so she started to work on her self-confidence and self-talk. Through some challenging and exciting work situations, Jessica navigated them calmly and powerfully. She approached each new situation as authentically as she could and used mindfulness, intention, and confident self-talk to become the leader she knew she was called to be in those moments. She wakes up energized and ready to take on the day...and is intentional to spend quality time with her kids and farmer-husband even during the full seasons.

  • Stephanie has 2 children and works outside of the home as a teacher. The wife to a farmer, every harvest she felt incredibly stressed and frazzled, and she had trouble being the mom/wife/teacher she wanted to be. She was tired of being pulled in so many different directions. After 3 weeks in the program, Stephanie learned the power of focusing on what she can control and how to prioritize habits that led to being more organized, calm, energized, and focused on her responsibilities. Harvest season was still busy, but she had a different mindset about how to accomplish tasks and manage her emotions. She was more present and felt more like herself than she ever had. She continues to use what she learned to navigate the different busy seasons of farming, teaching, and supporting her kids and husband.

  • Jennifer joined Empowered Ascent because she needed permission to put herself at the top of the list. She was burned out, craving support, and ready for a change. A leader in the Ag space, she was successfully leading others, but she felt it was time to lead herself. After only 6 weeks, she was setting goals, prioritizing self-care, and feeling more present and empowered than she had been in years. She looked at her wins each day which led to her feeling grateful for opportunities instead of just checking things off of her list. Months after the program, Jennifer reports that she continues the healthy wellness habits that she started during the program, including her daily movement, healthy eating habits, doing something for herself each day, and reminding herself daily that, “I’m worth it.” She's also leading her team to prioritize their wellness and balance between work and life.

  • Haley works for an ag-related company, is married to a farmer, and has three young children. Before starting the program, she was overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure how she was going to navigate this phase of life as a full-time mom and farmer’s wife. After only 6 weeks, she felt more centered and balanced. She started to make herself a priority so that she could show up as the best mom, wife, and leader at work. She also put a stop to mom-guilt which kept her from doing things that she enjoyed for a long time. She worked on improving her emotional and intellectual wellness and created specific goals to lead a healthier life in mind and body. Haley knows life is full and busy, but she continues to navigate the different seasons by staying present and finding joy in simple daily moments with her family.
