Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristin Fay VENUS.
Hi Kristin Fay , so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I can walk into a room, a conversation, a person’s life, a business, or an organization and see what is needed.
I can see where the structure is missing. I can see where someone is carrying too much. I can see where the energy is leaking, where decisions are stuck, where people are over-functioning, and where the story on the surface does not match what is actually happening underneath.
That ability has always been with me.
For a long time, I did not fully know what to call it. I just knew I could see patterns other people often missed. I could sense what was unspoken. I could find the place where things were tangled and help bring language, order, and movement.
Over the past thirty years, that ability has been shaped and strengthened by lived experience, leadership, motherhood, responsibility, grief, reinvention, financial pressure, and the kind of hard seasons that require a person to become deeply honest, resilient, and clear. I did not learn this work from a formula. I developed it over decades of living, listening, observing, surviving, rebuilding, and helping people make sense of what had become too tangled to see clearly.
In the last few years, my understanding of what I bring has become much sharper. I began to recognize that what I had always done naturally was actually a powerful body of work. Whether I am working with an individual, a founder, a leader, a board, a small business, or a nonprofit organization, I read the architecture underneath the performance.
That way of seeing is not abstract for me. It becomes practical very quickly. I help leaders clarify roles, untangle decision-making, build administrative and financial structure, strengthen board and team communication, organize fundraising systems, and create a path forward when the work has outgrown the structure holding it.
That realization became the foundation of Envision Impact Consulting and Talk to Venus.
Today, I help people, leaders, and organizations turn chaos into strategic architecture. My work blends intuitive pattern recognition, operational strategy, organizational development, governance, fundraising structure, and deep clarity. I help people name what is actually happening beneath the surface, and then build the structure needed for life, leadership, or mission-driven work to move forward.
I got here by following an ability I have always had, and by allowing life to refine it into something clear, practical, and powerful. For me, clarity is not theoretical. It is lived. It is earned. It is forged.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No, it has not been a smooth road.
One of the biggest turning points in my life came through a grassroots community effort supporting unhoused neighbors with stability, shelter, and care. Many people, including respected leaders in the community, told us it would fail. But we believed in the need, we persevered, and the work grew into something significant and successful.
I poured my life force into that effort. I believed in the vision deeply, and I believed I was building with my community. But as the work grew, the relational and organizational dynamics around it became painful and complicated. I lost my place inside something I had helped bring to life, and the heartbreak of that experience broke me open.
What followed was not one clean reinvention. It was many deaths and rebirths.
I had to leave the life I knew and enter a profound period of grief, healing, and reclamation. I moved to the forest without a clear plan. I felt called to release almost everything I owned and strip my life down to what was essential. A few months later, I received a strong internal message to go to Egypt, and I followed it.
Egypt was deeply powerful for me. It reconnected me with something ancient, internal, and true. But when I returned, I still did not have a traditional plan. I had very little money, and my life had not magically reorganized itself. I moved into a friend’s garage for a period of time, and later into another friend’s home in exchange for work. It was humbling. It was raw. It was also part of the path that brought me back to myself.
Then the next door opened through Blanche Fischer Foundation. A friend was involved with the foundation, and things were stuck. At first, I was simply helping her think through what needed to happen. I could see the structure that was missing, the decisions that needed to move, and where the organization needed clarity. As things began to shift, my work there grew.
From there, another opportunity opened. I was asked to review the vision and business plan for a Parkinson’s gym that someone wanted to create. At first, others were not sure the idea made sense. But when I read the plan, I was deeply inspired. I could see the need, the heart, and the possibility. Nine months later, the gym opened.
Those experiences helped me understand my work in a much clearer way. After the heartbreak of losing myself inside a community vision, I began to see that my gift was not just devotion. It was discernment. It was architecture. It was the ability to see what a person, a leader, a nonprofit, or a vision needed in order to become real and sustainable.
The road has been painful, humbling, and sacred. It taught me that I am not here to disappear into someone else’s mission. I am here to help people and organizations see clearly, build clean structure, and move forward without losing themselves in the process.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My business is Envision Impact Consulting, and my public-facing brand is Talk to Venus.
The simplest way to describe my work is this: vision needs a vessel. Many people are carrying beautiful, meaningful, mission-driven work, but the structure around the vision has not always caught up with the size of what they are holding. That is where I come in.
I work with leaders, founders, nonprofits, small businesses, and individuals who are carrying something important and have reached a point where the path forward is no longer clear. Sometimes the organization has grown faster than the systems around it. Sometimes one person is carrying too much. Sometimes the work is meaningful, but the roles, decisions, communication, money, or operational structure are tangled. Sometimes a person simply knows something needs to shift, but they do not yet have language for what is happening.
I specialize in seeing the path forward.
My work is highly tailored, so I do not lead with a rigid menu of services. I usually begin with a conversation. I listen, read the situation, identify what is actually happening beneath the surface, and help clarify what needs to be built, changed, released, strengthened, or supported next.
In an organization, that may involve leadership structure, governance, board communication, operational systems, fundraising architecture, financial clarity, decision-making, executive transition, or helping a founder move out of overwhelm and into a more sustainable way of leading. With individuals and leaders, the work may focus on naming the pattern underneath exhaustion, confusion, or pressure so they can reconnect with the next true step.
What sets me apart is the combination of intuitive pattern recognition and practical strategy. I can sense what is unspoken, see where the strain is living, and identify what is missing; but I can also translate that insight into real structure, language, systems, decisions, and movement. My work is not generic consulting. It is precise, responsive, and shaped around what the person, business, or organization actually needs.
I am known for bringing clarity to places that feel tangled, overwhelming, or hard to name. People often come to me when they have been carrying too much alone, when something has stalled, or when the next level of their work requires stronger architecture. My gift is helping them understand what is really happening and what needs to happen next.
Brand-wise, I am most proud of Talk to Venus because it feels like the cleanest expression of what I bring. “Talk to Venus. Get clear.” is not just a tagline. It is what happens. People come into the conversation with complexity, pressure, or uncertainty, and they leave with language, direction, and a clearer sense of the path forward.
What I want readers to know is that my work is for people and organizations in transition — the ones carrying real vision, real responsibility, and real complexity. I help them stop spinning, stop over-functioning, and begin building from a clearer, stronger, more truthful place.
Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
My advice for anyone starting out is to trust what you know, even before you have perfect language for it.
Sometimes the thing that makes you different does not look like a business at first. It may look like a sensitivity, a strange way of seeing, a skill people rely on without naming, or something you have been doing naturally your whole life. Pay attention to that. There is often deep wisdom in the thing that comes so naturally to you that you almost dismiss it.
I wish I had known earlier that I did not need to disappear into other people’s visions in order to be valuable. I have given a lot of myself to meaningful work, and I have learned that devotion without structure can become self-abandonment. A beautiful mission still needs clean roles, clear agreements, honest communication, and sustainable support.
I also wish I had trusted my timing more. Some paths take longer because the work is being forged through lived experience. The years were not wasted. The hard seasons, the detours, the endings, the rebuilding; all of it gave me the depth, discernment, and clarity I bring now.
For anyone starting out, I would say: listen deeply to your own knowing. Build from what is true, not from what looks impressive. Let your work become clearer over time. And do not give your life force to places that cannot value, hold, or honor what you bring.
