Guest Bio: 

Krista Zaft is an Integrative Life Coach and host of the Becoming Sound podcast where she amplifies the voices of those navigating the complexities and resilience of growing up in addiction and dysfunctional environments. Growing up with an alcoholic parent shaped her into a high-achieving, people-pleasing perfectionist. Recognizing the impact of these patterns on her life, Krista embraced the need for change. Her own healing journey led her to pivot from fitness coaching into life coaching to help others break free from negative thought loops, reconnect with their authentic selves, and build a clear, confident path to a balanced, purposeful life.
