Welcome to My World: Not So Krystal Klear
Wisconsin Born, Realness Bred
Hey there! I'm Krystal, a straight-up Wisconsin original with a backstory that zigzags more than it walks straight.
Picture this: a childhood hopping from one school to the next every single year – yep, a new classroom each fall. Not your run-of-the-mill upbringing, but it sure makes for a good story (and an even better icebreaker)!
The Rollercoaster of Youth
Split Homes, Whole Heart
Childhood? Picture this: a new school every year (yep, K through 12), but honestly, it was my kind of normal. Two Christmases? Two moms? Double the fun, I say!
Teenage Turmoil: A Walk on the Wild Side
Fast forward to my teenage rebellion – think bad company and worse decisions. It was all fun and games until I found myself living solo at 16, diving headfirst into a world I thought I understood.
The Wake Up Calls
From Dropout to Reality Check
High school dropout? Check. HSED hero? Also check. But life had more lessons in store. An arrest at 17 was a jolt, but not the jolt. Nope, that came with a bottle and a whole lot of bad mornings after.
The Heartbreak Pivot
Then life threw a curveball – pregnancy turned to loss at 19 weeks. At that moment, my friends were my 'rock bottom.' Heartbreak was my unlikely hero, pushing me to pivot towards something bigger.
Rediscovering Purpose
Marketing: My Unexpected Muse
Back to school I went, stumbling upon a love affair with marketing. Who knew? This was my lightbulb moment, the start of a journey from chaos to a career I adore. And oh, how I've soared since!
A Life in Progress
Family, Career, and All That Jazz
Today, I'm a marketer, a mom, and a mishap manager. From boardrooms to bedtime stories, my life's a testament to turning the tide. I've gone from living on the edge to leading on the digital front – and I'm just getting started.
The Continuing Saga
Sure, there are days I feel like I'm fumbling in the dark. But that's the essence of 'Not So Krystal Klear,' right? Real, raw, unfiltered life – with a side of humor and a sprinkle of chaos.
