In this inspiring episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik chats with entrepreneur and author Kira Hartley Klinger, a powerhouse of resilience, creativity, and motion. From flipping transit buses and running a vintage Etsy shop to self-publishing heartfelt books and battling chronic migraines, Kira shares how staying in motion—mentally and physically—has been her key to navigating anxiety, depression, entrepreneurship, and family life. Whether she’s writing before dawn or hauling hotel doors for a farmhouse renovation, Kira shows that momentum isn't just survival—it's art.

A mother, grandmother, and farmhouse renovator, she has built a unique life driven by curiosity and resourcefulness.
