Explore the life of Kriska, who defied societal standards and forged her own routes to success.

Kriska Pineda is an author and self-love and mindfulness advocate. She titled the journal “Through Me” after her personal healing journey. She is also the curator of Zen Feminism, a platform for sharing healing-oriented stories of great power. Kriska, a former HR manager, now focuses on empowering women via self-love and mindfulness courses in safe environments.

She had always been the epitome of an overachiever, striving for excellence in all aspects of her life. But as time passed, she recognized that in her desire for external affirmation, she had neglected her health and happiness. Then, she courageously decided to take a sabbatical and reevaluate her priorities.

Kriska demonstrates that it is acceptable to take a step back and prioritize our own happiness and well-being, even if it means diverting from the typical path to success. Taking a break and engaging in a new activity can be the key to achieving true contentment and pleasure in life.

Learn how she broke the pattern to create a life that genuinely reflects who she is and what she loves as we delve into her remarkable story.
