Kristina McPherson is a speaker, success coach, author, and founder of As Told by Canadian Immigrants, a YouTube talk show and platform that’s supported over 30,000 people navigating identity shifts, uncertainty, and starting over.

She specializes in the emotional side of change, whether it’s a move across the world, a career pivot, or a major life transition. Through raw storytelling and practical tools like emotional regulation, mindset reframing, and strategic networking, she helps people name what they’re feeling, normalize the messiness of transition, and move forward with clarity and community.

Her own messy middle began with immigration. After navigating her journey from Jamaica to Canada, including a visa rejection, cultural shocks, and starting over from scratch, she quickly realized the process was more emotional than logistical. Kristina created As Told by Canadian Immigrants to offer the kind of support she wish she had: not just how-to information, but a safe space for newcomers to feel seen, heard, and supported through the real challenges of building a life from scratch.

Whether you’re shifting careers, rebuilding after a loss, or reimagining what’s next, her work helps you strengthen your mental health, build financial resilience, and move forward with intention.
