In this episode, I chat with Kristen Croxton. Kristen has been a Senior Vice President at Capital One Multifamily Finance since 2011. She has more than 25 years of experience financing acquisitions and refinancing existing properties nationwide

I met Kristin through a commercial real estate group for women. I had the benefit of getting to know her because we both share a keen interest in helping other women elevate in the commercial real estate space.

If you’re looking to find connectivity in the female experience, you’ve found the right podcast. Unscripted Pivots (UP) takes a deep dive into how women can masterfully chart their lives only to end up in the most unexpected places. "Life is what happens while we are busy making other plans" and the most unpredictable detours, our “WTF” experiences, can shape us in ways we never dreamed possible. My podcast invites women to redefine “WTF”, calling them “Women That Flourish” moments instead.

I’m your host, Danielle Sprouls, and my mission is to bring you weekly interviews with inspiring stories of women empowerment, identity loss, entrepreneurship, leadership, mental health, and more. We’re here to celebrate a woman's adaptability, resilience, and perseverance. No matter our unexpected detours, we can always move UP.
