From Setbacks to Success: A Story of Resilience and Transformation
Chrystina Katz is no stranger to taking risks—but she didn’t always live that way.
In 2008, during the Great Recession, Chrystina’s life turned completely upside down. She lost her job, house, car, 401k, and stock portfolio—everything except her preteen daughter. For two long years, she struggled just to put food on the table. Instead of living life, she found herself hiding from it.
One afternoon, as she poured her heart out to her mentor, he quoted the words of Epictetus that changed everything for her: “It is not what happens to us; it is what we do with it that counts.”
Those words struck a deep chord. They planted the seed of change and sparked a realization: “I am responsible for my life—my choices, my reactions, and my results.” That moment was her turning point, and she decided to pivot.
Chrystina explored new career paths, dipping her toes in insurance, technology, and healthcare before making a Gutsy Pivot to advance her career in the corporate world. Over time, Chrystina climbed the ladder into leadership roles and discovered a passion for mentoring and teaching others to succeed.
In 2013, another life-altering moment tested Chrystina’s resolve. A horse-riding accident left her with a broken back. Doctors told her she would never walk again. With nothing to lose, Chrystina dug deep and found the grit to rebuild her body, proving them wrong. She not only learned to walk again but reclaimed her life.
Two years later, Chrystina made another bold move. She sold everything she owned, bought a truck and camper, and hit the road to visit the places she had dreamed about since childhood—all this before RV living became “mainstream.” By 2019, Chrystina left the corporate world to follow her passion as a speaker, trainer, and business consultant. Even during the challenges of COVID, she took another gutsy leap, moving to Las Vegas to immerse herself in the speaking community and hone her craft.

Be Gutsy to Go Gutsy!
“One of my favorite practices Chrystina has taught me in Gutsy Pivoting Coaching is gratitude journaling. I used to often struggle to start writing and put off doing it because I don't know what I was going to write about. Using the "I am grateful for...." prompt helps me get started every morning and then I can just let myself go. Once I've filled the page with gratitudes I am in a much more positive mindset and it is much easier to move on to free form journaling afterwards. Gratitude Journaling has helped change my mindset.”
