The Frustration
You’re not here to blend in.
You’re here to be known for something that matters.
Does This Sound Familiar?
You’re tired of hiding your magic behind strategy that doesn’t feel aligned
You’re done being told to soften, simplify, or sanitize your soul to be “marketable”
You’re over being polished at the expense of being powerful
You’re done trying to fit your fire into someone else’s formula
Your message is powerful, but it’s not landing consistently.
Your visibility is growing, but the right opportunities aren’t sticking.
Your brand looks “fine,” but it doesn’t feel like you.
And here’s the truth most people won’t say out loud:
You don’t need more content.
You don’t need more hustle.
You don’t need another generic marketing plan.
What you need is clarity, positioning, and strategy that knows how to translate your inner truth into outer influence.
When we work together, you will:
- Gain radical clarity around your true brand so it resonates, sticks, and attracts aligned opportunities
- Learn how to translate intuition and inner wisdom into clear strategy
- Develop messaging that sounds like you — and converts
- Build a presence that magnetizes stages, clients, and right-fit opportunities
- Step fully into the spotlight as the expert you already are
Meet your message alchemist.
I’m Kristen Hartnagel.

Working with Kristen as my coach has been a delight. She is empathetic, present, and empowering. She has a great balance of wisdom and knowledge that energizes me. When we got matched up together I was so excited to start getting to work. I love having her outside perspective that closely aligns with who I am as a speaker and as a brand. Her approach comes from years of experience and her time with the amazing team at BBG. Kristen's knowledge of the content has been an asset for me to guide me along the way and keep me on track. She will also challenge me and let me know how to improve my process. She helps keep me accountable and communicates with me in multiple ways so I don't miss anything. Kristen is an integral part of my BBG journey! …Plus, she taught me that shift space bar trick!
Kristen has an incredible gift for simplifying complex concepts while preserving their full integrity—a rare and invaluable skill. As a personal brand strategist and spiritual business alignment coach, she is a master with words, crafting messages that deeply resonate with any audience. What’s truly special about Kristen’s talent is how she uses it to help others elevate their message and make a bigger impact. Her support has been so transformative for my business and brand; I genuinely don’t know where I would be without her guidance and expertise.
Kristen helped me turn an idea into a profitable company in less than four months!
What I love most about working with Kristen is that it’s obvious she has a really high emotional intelligence. She doesn’t match her tone to my tone, or her mood to my mood. The work we do together is so important, but it’s also hard, and sometimes frustrating, and sometimes I come to our meetings having a bad day, and Kristen is always just this ray of sunshine, this calming influence, that helps me identify what’s frustrating me, and turn it into a really important insight. She also has a really deep knowledge of her expertise, and how to apply “best practices” to my specific personality, business needs, and personal preferences. She’s been invaluable during the more than two years that we’ve been working together, and I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone who wants to take their personal brand to the next level.
