[Kristen Barker]

My name is Kristen Barker. I’m from Cincinnati and I am super happy to be a part of this group. I’m a 42-year-old mother of a resilient child with special needs. I’m an executive director of a local non-profit. I’m passionate about what I do. And I am very grateful for my life. At the same time, I have a long-term habit of filling my life to the brim, putting others needs before my own, and working my self to the bone. I have an unfortunate habit of ignoring my body until it makes itself really known through significant pain, atrial fibrillation, acute illness, etc. I want to learn how to pay attention to my body, my needs, my whole self in a daily way and integrate habits of conscious movement. I don’t what my body to have to resort to such lengths to get my attention.  My otter power is joy and laughter 🙂
