Five programs. Four themes. Fourteen real stories. One woman who lived every single one of them — and came out the other side with a rope, a framework, and proof that brave is possible.
Before she was The Confidence Cowgirl, she was the kid tallying up evidence of worthlessness, the dropout who taught herself in a library, and the woman who had to find the brave to send a letter that changed everything. Every keynote she delivers, she lived first.
Leaning against a feeder, tallying evidence of worthlessness. Parents who visited five days a year. No school. The math felt undeniable — until Honeybee wrapped her head around Kristen's shoulders. In that one moment, the math broke.
5th grade dropout. No school. No traditional path. Every circumstance said "not possible." Then the library. Then the GED. Then the Associates. Then BYU. Then the degree. Then the book. Then the stage.
A psychology class changed everything. Understanding the nervous system, understanding the Inner Outlaw — the fight-or-flight response that was running the show. Kristen partnered with her professor, co-wrote books, and built a framework for catching the outlaw before it takes over.
A lifetime of not being able to stand up to intimidation, belittling, and control. Then one moment of courage and standing her ground changed everything.
Every program she teaches, she lived. The isolation. The impostor syndrome. The trauma response. The bully. The jackrabbit. The bull corral. There is no borrowed content here — only earned stories.
She's a Trainer-Tainer. Trick rope. Live music. Whip cracking. Caricature. Improv. Ten years of theatrical train robbery. Every talent is a tool that opens the room so the message can land.
No generic keynote. Kristen custom-builds every experience from a modular library of 14 real stories — selecting the exact combination that fits your audience's specific freeze.
The Lasso Leadership rope experience gives audiences a physical, felt understanding of brave leadership. Not to mention a good time. Nobody forgets the day they held a spinning rope and felt what clear intention actually does.
The B.R.A.V.E. framework gives audiences language they can use after she leaves. Weeks later, teams are still saying, "Let's Find our Brave. We've got this." That's the goal — not a good day. A changed default.
A decade of live performance means Kristen has handled every kind of room, every kind of crowd, and every kind of surprise. She is not a high-maintenance speaker. She shows up ready, handles what comes, and makes you look good.
She doesn't show up with a slide deck and a recycled keynote. She shows up with a rope, a story, and a room full of people who leave different than they arrived.
