Kristin Assaad
About this episode

In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode of LevelUp Podcast, Kristin opens up about the sudden loss of her mother and how this experience has shaped the last month of her life. She reflects on the emotional, mental, and physical challenges that come with such a devastating loss, especially when you’re living abroad and navigating the complexities of grief alone.


Through the sadness, shock and grief, she shares how resilience has been her guiding force — from planning a funeral alone overnight to standing on stage, speaking about entrepreneurship and resilience just days after the funeral.


This episode serves as both an emotional reflection and an empowering message on how we can honor our loved ones by continuing to live our lives with strength and purpose.


Finally, Kristin dedicates this episode in loving memory of her mother.


Join this episode for an honest conversation about loss, resilience, and finding strength in the face of life's toughest moments.
