Have You Ever Felt Derailed from Pursuing Your Dreams?

Life can throw unimaginable challenges your way, but within you lies an untapped power—the resilience to rise and the strength to transform. 

Chrystina Katz’s journey has been anything but easy, filled with setbacks and breakthroughs, moments of loss, physical pain, and reinvention. Through it all, Chrystina discovered her Gutsy spirit—the inner drive that enabled her to defy the odds and move forward with purpose. 

In 2008, the Great Recession stripped everything from Chrystina—her job, her home, her security—leaving only her daughter by her side. What could have been a devastating blow became, instead, the catalyst for an unwavering resolve to rebuild and reclaim her life.

Then, in 2013, a horse-riding accident left her with a broken back and a bleak prognosis: She would never walk again. But Chrystina refused to accept that story. With grit and determination, she defied expectations, regained her mobility, and rose above the physical limitations.

Another Gutsy transition came in 2019, Chrystina made the audacious decision to leave the corporate world and embark on a journey as a trainer, speaker, and business consultant. This leap of faith wasn’t easy, but it allowed her to break free from the confines of a traditional career and embrace a life brimming with purpose and excitement.

Chrystina doesn’t share this story to impress. She tells it to inspire. If you feel stuck—whether in your business, career, or personal life—know this: obstacles don’t have to define you. You have the power to tap into your Gutsy spirit, break through barriers and limitations, and create a future that aligns with your dreams.

If Chrystina’s story resonates with you, take the next step.

The life and business you envision are within reach, and Chrystina is here to help you seize it.

What is a

Gutsy Pivot?

A Gutsy Pivot is a decision you make to change the trajectory of your life. It is not a foolish dive off a cliff. It's a confident leap because you have prepared yourself for what comes after the leap.

There are times when we’ve brought ourselves to a cliff, ready to make that leap into our own potential… but we hesitate. We aren’t sure we’re “ready” or “it’ll work”. We’re told we should “follow our dreams”, but no one ever told us how. We know we shouldn’t back down, but making the leap is scary and intimidating.

If you know you need to make a Gutsy Pivot but don’t know what or how, I can help you get back on track.

Be Gutsy ... PIVOT

Pivoting Is Taking Action

Stuck. Underutilized. Frustrated. There are times when we feel like we’re standing at the edge of something and need the motivation to make that leap into our own potential. Taking charge and making changes is what we call “pivoting.”

A Gutsy Pivot is when we stop letting other people or circumstances define us and instead make those asserted decisions that lead to our own success and happiness.

More About Us
Introducing the GPP

Gutsy Pivot Planner

Do you like to journal? Do you need more organization in your life? Are you ready to make changes and move toward that goal you have been secretly dreaming about? 

To survive the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, I had to completely refocus my business, mindset, and lifestyle. I used my project management skills, dug deep to find my inner moxie, and used my grit, grace, and gumption to face each day. 

What saved me the most was my GPP! Gutsy Pivot Planner. It's a journal, planner, organizer, and reflection tool that keeps me going everyday. 
It is in Beta Testing right now. Real users are using it everyday too. You can too to have less stress and really positive changes in 2022.

Testimonial

“Chrystina was an asset to our Amplify Montana Speakers Bureau classes in Bozeman. She went above and beyond by not only facilitating our public speaking workshops, but she also spent extra time outside of the workshops to help us assess and modify our curriculum while making improvements. She helped to recruit additional volunteers, and also participated in practice calls each week that were above and beyond the original time commitment. Chrystina’s energy, enthusiasm, and inclusivity made our workshops successful, and many of our members cited learning from Chrystina to be a major highlight of their overall experience.”

— RACHELLE SARTORI, MONTANA NO KID HUNGRY PROGRAM
"It’s not what happens to us, it is what we do with it that counts.”
