about
Krista Davila
For more than 25 years, I built a career leading complex projects and helping organizations navigate change. I was known for being capable, independent, and able to solve almost any problem put in front of me. Life eventually taught me that not every challenge can be solved the same way.
Over the years, I've navigated many unexpected life changes, including the loss of a parent, motherhood, breast cancer, chronic illness, divorce, remarriage, and transitioning from a corporate career to pursue writing and speaking. Each experience required me to adapt, rebuild, and redefine who I was becoming.
Today, I write, speak, and share the Life Under Reconstruction framework to help others stop trying to return to who they used to be and start building a meaningful next chapter.I live in North Carolina with my husband, two dogs, and two cats. I'm the mother of two adult daughters and the author of After the Thaw: Poems about Surviving and Becoming. I'm currently working on my next book, Life Under Reconstruction: A Midlife Memoir of Reinvention (working title).
