Kristen Chimack

"What if every choice to choose yourself, hard goodbye, and brave new beginning led you home? This isn't about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you've been all along."

Kristen Chimack, a former Fortune 50 executive, embodies the courage to choose oneself. Over her 30-year career, she rose from payment clerk to executive, navigating diverse roles in finance, HR, sales, and more. Despite her success, Kristen felt the pull for something more authentic, leading her to leave a six-figure role to found Down-to-Earth Insights LLC.

From childhood, Kristen was drawn to creating experiences and organizing meaningful moments. Whether planning neighborhood games or road trips, she naturally brought people together, making lasting memories. This innate ability to connect and inspire others was always there, woven through every stage of her life. However, corporate America had different ideas about who she needed to be, teaching her lessons that ultimately led her back to her true self.

Today, through coaching, creating experiences with retreats, and hotel sourcing, Kristen empowers others to embrace their potential and redefine success on their own terms. She actively shares insights about choosing yourself and authenticity through daily LinkedIn posts while building meaningful connections with her network. Her weekly newsletter, "Kickin' it with Kristen," delivers Aha! Moments and mid-week motivation to her growing community.

Kristen lives in Illinois with her husband, Mike, where they cheer on Chicago sports teams and treasure afternoons at Wrigley Field. A self-proclaimed Super Aunt, she creates unforgettable experiences with her nieces and nephews. When not transforming lives through her work, you might find her enjoying a Law and Order: SVU marathon.
