This is one of my favorite podcast episodes that I’ve ever done! I have been a fan of today’s guest for a long time, so this interview was a pinch-me moment.
Our guest today is Kristina Kuzmic! You may know her from Instagram, TikTok, Oprah, or as the author of her best-selling book “Hold On But Don’t Hold Still”. Chances are you’ve seen Kristina.
Kristina Kuzmic is a cheerleader for her fellow humans. It’s not something she ever anticipated doing, but after immigrating to America from Croatia during the war in her homeland and later facing more challenges (divorce, single parenting, poverty, depression…), Kristina wanted to be for others what she wished someone had been for her during her darkest hours.
In 2011, when Oprah crowned Kristina the winner of Mark Burnett’s reality TV competition “Oprah’s Search for the Next TV Star,” Oprah said, “What is that THING…that’s so charming and charismatic and connected to the audience that makes you feel like, ‘I know her, I want to be her, I’m like her’… Kristina has all of that. She is an ‘IT PLUS’ girl… I wanna watch her!”
Since working with Oprah, Kristina has branched out on her own, creating videos about juggling all of life’s challenges and encouraging her audience to prioritize their mental health. She has quickly become a viral sensation with 2.9 million Facebook followers and well over half a million Instagram followers.
Now, with over one billion video views, Kristina is providing her audience with encouragement, hope, and humor in a role she never expected to fill.
Typically Kristina offers support and insight on parenting, but in this episode, she dives into subjects and insight that is applicable not only to parents but to teachers as well. This episode will give you inspiration, motivation, and laughs. You don’t want to miss it!
If you enjoy this interview, be sure to join us at Summer Educate and Rejuvenate! You’ll get to be there live interacting in Zoom with Kristina and other teachers enjoying the conference. Get your tickets here!
