Meet Kristen Clark

We recently connected with Kristen Clark and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Kristen, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?

I didn’t develop it—I remembered it.

Confidence wasn’t something I built over time. It was something that revealed itself once I stopped trying to be who the world expected me to be. I didn’t follow a 10-step process. I simply stood in the fire of my life—again and again—and realized I was still standing. Still breathing. Still me.

That’s what burned off the noise and left behind the clarity.

I stopped chasing confidence the day I stopped apologizing for who I am.
It’s not about being fearless—it’s about knowing that even in the fear, you’re still the one showing up.
That kind of knowing can’t be taught. It’s claimed.

So how did I develop self-esteem?
I stopped trying to fit in—and remembered I was born to stand out.
I stopped shrinking—and realized I was always the room, not just someone walking into it.

Confidence isn’t about being loud or bold for show.
It’s about being real enough, raw enough, and ready enough to stop asking permission to exist.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I’m Kristen MF Clark—though for the magazine, let’s go with Kristen Clark, founder of Me-taphysical Speaking, speaker, author, and unapologetic truth-sayer.

What I do is hard to label, and that’s exactly what makes it powerful. I speak, write, and lead from a place that dismantles the illusion of limitation. I don’t teach manifestation—I reveal that it’s already happening, and always has been. I don’t believe in “becoming” someone—I believe in remembering that you’ve always been it.

My work lives at the intersection of mindset, metaphysics, and what I call Me-taphysics—the radical understanding that you are the source, not the seeker. I help people shatter ceilings, rewrite their baselines, and walk into rooms as the version of themselves that no longer asks permission to exist.

What excites me most? Watching people drop their story mid-sentence—because something I said hit so deep, they could no longer pretend to be small. That’s the power of truth in real-time. That’s what I live for.

I’m especially passionate about live speaking—because when I’m on stage, it’s not a talk, it’s a transmission. I’ve spoken at events where people were lined up at the windows and doors just to listen. It’s not because I’m flashy—it’s because what I say cuts through. There’s nothing more electric than speaking unscripted, unfiltered, and directly into what the room didn’t know it needed.

Currently, I’m focused on expanding Me-taphysical Speaking into bigger stages, deeper conversations, and more global reach. I’m hosting live workshops, guesting on podcasts, and working on a new virtual performance titled “Kristen Clark, Live & Unfiltered”—a bold, story-driven experience that flips the script on how we view reality and our own power.

For those who feel the pull—you already know.
And for those just discovering me—welcome to the end of shrinking.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Looking back, the three most impactful things in my journey weren’t what I expected. They weren’t skills I learned—they were truths I could no longer ignore.

1. Radical Self-Honesty
Not the soft kind. I’m talking about the raw, no-excuse clarity that stares your patterns in the face and says, “This ends here.”
Early in my journey, I was surrounded by a lot of spiritual bypassing and surface-level positivity. But what actually changed me was the decision to stop lying to myself—even about the little things.
Advice: Start there. Every shift begins the moment you stop pretending you’re confused and admit what you already know.

2. Command of Identity
Most people spend their lives asking, “Who am I?”—but the real power begins when you declare it. I didn’t find my voice. I stopped silencing it.
Your identity isn’t something you uncover over time. It’s something you choose, moment by moment.
Advice: Stop trying to find yourself. Decide who you are, and let the world adjust accordingly.

3. Unshakable Self-Permission
This one was everything. No more waiting for validation. No more asking if I was “allowed” to speak, create, or lead.
I realized that nobody was ever going to give me the green light—so I became my own.
Advice: Don’t look for signs. Be the sign. The more you move without permission, the more powerful you become.

Bottom line?
Power doesn’t arrive. It’s not gifted or earned. It’s remembered.
If you’re early in your journey, don’t waste time trying to “be ready.” You already are. The shift happens the moment you say, “I’m done waiting.”

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

I’m most drawn to collaborating with people who are creating something real—work that moves, expands, and actually shifts the room.

The ones who hear one sentence and feel the change. The ones who’ve outgrown safe conversations and want to build something that leaves a mark. Whether you’re a CEO, creative, podcast host, or event curator—if you’re building something bold, disruptive, and alive, I’m listening.

I collaborate with people who aren’t just building platforms—they’re building movements.
People who don’t flinch when truth gets loud.
People who believe in power over polish, clarity over fluff, and presence over performance.

If your space is ready to host the kind of conversation that makes people sit up straighter and say, “Wait—this changes everything”—then let’s talk.
