Holy Sh*T: I Almost Died for This

Holy Shit, I Almost Died for This? is Kristina’s true story of love, loss, and learning to stop giving a damn. A lifelong “good girl,” she grew up on a steady diet of Disney movies, rom-coms, and glossy magazine promises that love was the key to self-worth. After a string of wrong men, she finally meets her soulmate. It feels like the ending she’s been waiting for—until it all unravels.

In the wake of heartbreak, Kristina suffers a freak kitesurfing accident that leaves her with a traumatic brain injury. Suddenly, the quest for happily-ever-after is replaced with a fight to survive, speak cogently, and learn to think again. Recovery is brutal, but painting becomes her lifeline—first as quiet therapy, then as an expansive, public art project that captures the attention of thousands.

Through this creative rebirth, Kristina begins to see her past with brutal clarity: she’s been chasing the wrong prize. The fulfillment she’s been searching for doesn’t come from pleasing others, but from living unapologetically. This rewiring your brain (literally and figuratively) helps her to burn the “good girl” script, and finding joy in the rubble of tragedy. Equal parts raw, hilarious, and defiant, this one-woman show is a love letter to resilience—and a reminder that sometimes the best thing to come out of disaster is the person you were meant to be all along.
