In this episode of Academic Coaching for Parents, I am joined by Kristina Karlsson, founder of the global stationery brand Kikki. K, bestselling author and creator of the Your Dream Life Starts Here coaching programme.
Kristina’s journey is extraordinary. From a single 3am list that sparked a global brand, to navigating the loss of Kikki. K and stepping into a completely new chapter of her life, her story offers powerful lessons on resilience, intention and purposeful living.
🎧 In this conversation, we explore:
✅ How Kristina’s 3am list shaped the direction of her life and career
✅ The habits and mindset behind building Kikki K
✅ What losing a business taught her about resilience and growth
✅ How to rethink failure as a foundation for progress
✅ The power of dreaming as a practice for life direction and purpose

Creating a dream life isn’t about overnight transformation, it’s about clarity, reflection and taking small steps forward, wherever you are.
