In this week’s episode, I’m talking to the fabulous Kriss Rita.

Kriss is an aspiring entrepreneur as a positive psychology practitioner and coach. She has worked in special education for twenty years and is a special educator and consultant advocating for inclusive employment for people of all abilities.

Kriss lives in Portland, Oregon with her dog, Betty.

Topics that Kriss & I cover are:

• how Kriss grew up in a small town where the main aim was partnering up; 
• how she spent a good chunk of her life chasing ‘the one’;
• her most recent relationship that came out of a friends-with-benefits situation;
• how Kriss is currently ‘blissfully single’, a state she arrived at during the pandemic;
• how she has developed into a ’single at heart’;
• how when we work hard on loving ourselves, a relationship ending will not destroy us;
• why it’s so important to lean intot the things that are scientifically proven to bring happiness;
• why Kriss believes the things we should build a life on are connection, and treating yourself well; 
• how shifting her mindset has changed Kriss’ life;
• how we can choose to happy and optimistic, but it’s a practice;
• how Kriss chooses a theme each year, and what her theme for 2024 is;
• Kriss’ ‘love letter to solo’;
• swimming against the tide, and what that means to Kriss;
• the things that Kriss finds hardest about being single, including missing intimacy.
