The Changemakers
Foundational Framework helps CEOs and executive leaders reset their nervous system, sharpen focus, and lead with unshakable clarity. But before creating Mindset Calibration, our founder Kristin spent years working alongside leaders in business, education, and community development — seeing firsthand how even the most driven executives paid a heavy price for success. She watched CEOs and changemakers burn out, push past exhaustion, and sacrifice their well-being and relationships just to keep up with the demands of leadership. The cost was often sleepless nights, strained teams, and the slow erosion of clarity and purpose.
Through neuroscience-backed meditation, breathwork, and mindset coaching, she discovered that high performance doesn’t require burnout. Now, Foundational Framework brings elite-level nervous system regulation and clarity practices directly to CEOs — helping them achieve exponential results while living with balance and purpose. She partnered with Priti and Carlo to create sanctuary for leadership. A place where leaders come to build their form from inside out.
Our Mission
We are a new generation of changemakers—vision-led, strategy-driven, and unafraid to challenge the status quo. We partner with CEOs and executive teams to transform how leadership is embodied, decisions are made, and impact is measured. This is not business as usual. This is conscious leadership in action. We want to reach a million leaders and have them make these practices a lifestyle so that they come from calm and peace; from equanimity when they lead.
