Christy Tennant Krispin, ACC

From an early age, I have been someone who approaches life with an uncommon zeal. Maybe it’s because I’m the youngest of three, maybe it’s because I was the only girl and I always wanted to do whatever my brothers were doing, but I have never wanted to miss out on an experience.

I’ve also always had an insatiable curiosity about others and a drive to experience as much of “life” as I could, and the past four decades have been filled with truly rich experiences working in many different environments.

I worked for ten years as a professional actor then turned my attention to international travel and volunteering. After trying on a job in corporate America working for two years in the C-Suite of an international prestige beauty company in New York City, I joined the staff of a non-profit arts organization as Director of Global Community, where I produced events and hosted a podcast.

In 2014, I stepped out of the professional world to become a foster parent and quickly discovered the dearth of resources for new/inexperienced foster parents. I started a YouTube channel in order to share some of the hard-won lessons I was learning on the fly, and A Fostered Life was born. With thousands of followers on YouTube and A Fostered Life’s site, I have built a body of free resources that are now being used by foster parents and foster care agencies around the world.

Now in the third act of my career, I am putting my eclectic background in corporate and non-profit leadership to work for others as an executive leadership coach. My client roster includes professionals in finance, biotech, and the service industry.

I hold the Associate Certified Coach credential from International Coaching Federation and expect to complete my Masters of Arts in Chaplaincy in 2025.
