Hi! I’m Kristin with the Happy Thoughts :)

Years ago, I started writing Happy Thoughts on my mirrors to get through hard thoughts. When I started a business, I managed social anxiety by sharing those thoughts as freebies with a fiber arts business, Kristitchin (I’m Kristin and I’m stitchin…ha). I sewed surf ponchos from up-cycled towels, knit baby mobiles/art/apparel, and macramed lots and lots of plant hangers. My social anxiety increased along with my need for more self love, making way for the Happy Thought Project to be born.

Each thought I wrote was ultimately me telling myself to love me, take care of me, and believe in me. It was crazy to watch how the thoughts helping me feel less alone were actually bringing endless connection. I shared 100,000+ Happy Thoughts in ~3 years; every step of the business grew through a magic Happy Thought moment. The synchronicities are wild while sharing Happy Thoughts! Meeting the right people at the right time has turned an idea into a product, turned a product into an experience, and ultimately turned those experiences into a method. 

I have a ten year background in education, I value self healing to a high extent, and I believe when we’re better we make the world better. I’ve lived in a van with my cats since 2021, forging freedom, innovation, and chaos into a way to hold our challenges gently, and find empowerment within ourselves.
