Meet Kristin Kurtz

 

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Kristin Kurtz a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Kristin , appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?

My resilience comes from a deep and personal journey of transformation and faith. Growing up, I experienced a lot of trauma and instability, starting from in utero. However, it was through these challenges that I found my strength and my purpose.

Some of the pivotal moments in my life include being saved and delivered from addiction, which freed me to truly live. My marriage of 22 years taught me the importance of patience and trust in God’s timing, especially since we are unequally yoked. I also experienced the heartache of miscarriages and doctors telling me I couldn’t get pregnant, but personally witnessed the miraculous conception of my two boys (now 16 and 19), which strengthened my faith even more.

In 2021, I was released from a job that felt like a prison. In faith, I stepped out to walk boldly in my purpose and calling. This journey led me to become a full-time entrepreneur, where I now set women free to soar as a Life Coach, Spiritual Midwife, Prophetic Advisor, and Mentor.

Through each trial and triumph, I’ve learned to rely on God’s strength and guidance. My resilience and tenacity is rooted in the belief that every challenge is an opportunity for growth and transformation, and I am committed to emPOWERing others to discover their own resilience, tenacity and purpose.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I am deeply passionate about my work with New Wings Coaching, where I focus on unlocking the wild hearts of women of faith, empowering them to soar beyond their boundaries with courage, hope, and liberating transformation. At New Wings Coaching, we believe in discovering the freedom to embrace your true calling and live fearlessly.

As the visionary behind this movement, I am a Christ follower, LIFE Coach, HOPE igniter, and trailblazer. Certified through the Christian Coach Institute, I specialize in guiding women towards transformative growth, unlocking their hidden potential, and igniting their wildest dreams. I know I am anointed and gifted to do this work, which God has led me to, and it fills me with immense joy and purpose.

Through Holy Spirit-led coaching, we embark on a journey of profound transformation, breaking free from the cages of doubt and fear to embrace each woman’s unique calling and roar with confidence. It’s time to spread your wings, rise above the ordinary, and boldly embrace the freedom and grace of God’s love. Join me on this transformative journey where together, we’ll awaken your potential and watch your wildest dreams take flight.

I’m also excited to share that we have a new initiative on the horizon: the launch of a membership community. This community is designed to offer continuous support, encouragement, and resources to help women of faith thrive. We’re offering a special founding member deal, providing the best price possible and involving these early adopters in shaping the group. Your ideas and feedback will be integral as we grow together.

At New Wings Coaching, our mission is to set women free to soar. We are committed to helping you unlock your true potential and live the abundant life you were created for. As Proverbs 24:5-6 TPT says, “Wisdom can make anyone into a mighty warrior, and revelation-knowledge increases strength. Wise strategy is necessary to wage war, and with many astute advisers you’ll see the path to victory more clearly.” Let’s embrace this wisdom and walk the path to victory together.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Looking back on my journey, three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge stand out as most impactful:

1. Faith and Trust in God’s Plan: My journey has been deeply rooted in faith. Trusting God’s plan, even when it seemed uncertain or challenging, has been my anchor. This unwavering faith has given me the strength to overcome addiction, navigate an unequally yoked marriage, and step out in faith to pursue my purpose as an entrepreneur.
-Advice: Cultivate a strong spiritual foundation. Spend time in prayer, study the Word, and surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and encourage you. Trust that God’s plan for you is perfect, even when you can’t see the whole picture.
-Verse: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5-6

2. Resilience and Perseverance: Resilience has been crucial in navigating the various trials and triumphs in my life, from miscarriages to career changes. Persevering through these hardships has taught me valuable lessons and helped me grow stronger.
-Advice: Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Develop a mindset that views setbacks as stepping stones rather than roadblocks. Surround yourself with positive influences and never give up, even when the journey gets tough.
-Verse: “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” – James 1:2-3

3. Commitment to Personal and Professional Growth: Continuously seeking growth, both personally and professionally, has been vital. From becoming certified through the Christian Coach Institute to constantly learning and improving my coaching skills, this commitment has enabled me to serve others effectively.
-Advice: Invest in your personal and professional development. Seek out educational opportunities, certifications, coaches, and mentorship. Stay curious and open to learning new things. Set goals and work diligently towards them, always seeking to improve and expand your knowledge and skills.
-Verse: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” – Colossians 3:23

For those early in their journey, my advice is to build a strong foundation of faith, cultivate resilience, and commit to continuous growth. Remember, every step you take is a part of your unique path, and with determination and trust in God, you can achieve remarkable things.

How would you describe your ideal client?

My ideal client is a woman of faith who is wild-hearted and adventurous, yet feeling caged and stuck in her current circumstances. She possesses a deep yearning for transformation and is ready to break free from the limitations that have held her back. Here are some key characteristics that make someone an ideal client for me:

1. Open-Minded and Willing to Grow: She is open to new perspectives and is willing to embrace change. She understands that growth often requires stepping out of her comfort zone and is ready to take those steps with courage and faith.

2. Committed to Her Faith: Her faith is an integral part of her life, and she seeks to align her actions and decisions with her spiritual beliefs. She values the guidance of the Holy Spirit and is eager to incorporate faith into her personal development journey.

3. Resilient and Determined: She has faced challenges and setbacks but is determined not to let them define her. Her resilience is a testament to her strength, and she is ready to harness this resilience to pursue her dreams and goals.

4. Passionate and Purpose-Driven: She has a burning desire to discover and fulfill her true calling. She is passionate about making a positive impact in her life and the lives of others, and she seeks a coach who can help her unlock this potential.

5. Ready to Invest in Herself: She recognizes the value of investing time, effort, and resources into her personal and professional growth. She is committed to the coaching process and is prepared to take the necessary actions to achieve her desired outcomes.

My role is to guide these women on their journey of transformation, helping them break free from doubt and fear, and empowering them to soar with confidence and grace. Through our coaching partnership, we will work together to unlock their true potential and embrace the abundant life they were created for.
