In this episode of the Dangerous Creatives podcast, Kristin sits down with her longtime friend and creative powerhouse, Liz Allison, to talk about her incredible transition from wedding photographer to full-time painter and internationally recognized muralist.
Liz shares how growing up around construction and design shaped her creative lens, how motherhood sparked new waves of creativity, and how reclaiming her home as a canvas led to viral success.

Liz’s story is a gorgeous reminder that your creative journey is allowed to evolve, and that sometimes, the most magical work starts in your own living room.

In this episode, you’ll get an insider’s look at a Dangerous Creatives coaching call focused on visibility and mindset—because real growth happens when you lean into what feels uncomfortable. Kristin is fresh off a half-sabbatical and tapping into that back-to-school energy to help you elevate your marketing—whether you’re booking weddings, connecting with Gen Z clients, or finally pushing past your “cringe” radar on camera.
Kristin dives into why authenticity wins (spoiler: Gen Z hires on vibes and values), how to let in-person networking feed your Instagram, and how to choose the medium—video, blog, or community chat—that feels most genuine for you. Kristin also shares her “visibility monster” story, guides you through exercises to uncover your aspirational client energy, and arms you with affirmations to quiet the fear.
