TEDxCrestmoorPark - Kristen Moeller - Fierce Disruption Of The Ordinary November 22, 2011

Favorite:

Kristen Moeller thrives while "Disrupting her Ordinary" and inspiring others to do the same. Her first "Disruption" was choosing recovery after struggling for years with addictions and consequently discovering her passion for personal development in 1989. Kristen then earned a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling and dedicated her life to helping others who struggled like she had.

Years later, Kristen found herself at a crossroads—slipping into the "Ordinary." In one profound, life-altering moment, she caught herself "Waiting for Jack" (Jack Canfield in this case, but soon a metaphor for all the ways we humans wait in life.) This awakening inspired her to write Waiting for Jack: Confessions of a Self-Help Junkie -- How to Stop Waiting and Start Living Your Life and skyrocketed her life in a whole new direction.

In her mission to bring transformation to the world, Kristen is just getting started... With awe-inspiring momentum, Kristen has continued to "Disrupt her Ordinary" by:

Becoming a bestselling author with the support of a top agent, a New York publisher and Jack Canfield's glowing Foreword as well as many celebrity endorsements.

Launching her national speaking career—sharing the stage with luminaries such as Brian Tracy, Barbara DeAngelis, Mark Victor Hansen and Freddie Ravel.

Hosting her own weekly radio show "What Are You Waiting For?" which provides is an exclusive view into the lives of masters such as Jack Canfield, Joan Borysenko and Marci Shimoff to name a few.

Founding a non-profit the Chick-a-go Foundation which provides 'pay-it-forward' scholarship to life altering transformational education.

Becoming a celebrity ambassador for the National Eating Disorder Association along with the Supermodel and TV personality Emme.

When she is not actively making a difference in the world, Kristen relaxes in her magical, solar powered home where she lives with two large dogs, an ornery cat, and her best friend and husband of sixteen years.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
