From Mrs. to ME with Crissy Freeman
After her 19-year marriage ended, Crissy found herself struggling with her identity. She was no longer a wife, she was a single mom navigating life on her own with no idea how to put one foot in front of the other. Instead of feeling empowered, she felt anxious and alone.
As a result, Crissy embarked on a journey of inner healing that led to pursuing her passion of helping other women to create a roadmap after divorce in pursuit of finding their “why”.
Crissy is a certified Life Coach who empowers women to say yes to themselves after divorce.
Crissy specializes in helping women to rediscover their truth and their passion so that they can show up with confidence as they embark on a new journey and navigate life as a co-parent and single mom.
Crissy’s coaching program supports and guides clients on their transformational journey from Mrs. to ME after divorce to create the life they truly want and deserve.

At Home with Marie Lindgren
Welcome to Part 1 of At Home with Marie Lindgren. We are long-time friends and past co-workers at Medco. Marie has always been an inspiration to me with her creative eye in home decor.

Her adorable puppy, Grace, steels the show! But one of my favorite spots in Marie's home is her cottage (not she-shed!!). It's something out of a fairytale.
