Kristen Ulmer is a thought leader, high-performance facilitator, and fear/anxiety expert who draws from her tenure as the Hall of Fame’s most ‘fearless’ woman extreme skier in the world for 12 years, from studying Zen for 15 years, and from facilitating over ten thousand clients on the subjects of fear, anxiety and achieving flow states.
Her remarkable work has been featured in such media as NPR, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, USA Today, Tim Ferriss’s Tribe of Mentors, The Robb Report, The Megyn Kelly Show, over a 150 podcasts and many more. Kristen is author of: The Art of Fear: Why Conquering Fear Won’t Work and What to Do Instead, which radically challenges existing norms about what to do about this misunderstood emotion.
I had the pleasure of working with Kristen at one of her workshops and returned home with a better understanding of myself and tools to help me navigate life better through a healthier lens. Great work!

The May 2022 What’s Next call addressed addictions. One of Kristen’s examples was sugar. It really clicked for me and I’ve cut out desserts. (I know processed foods still contain it, but just saying no to candy, etc. is still a big win on many levels!) Thank you, Kristen!
Dave Schrader
This is the only thing that I’ve found that works.
Jacquetta Wier
I feel like my brain has been “rewired” in a positive way that is working for me.
Jana Zediker
Thank you Kristen for letting us all find you. You can’t thank a person enough though for unlocking the truth held within you, and giving me my life back.
Michael Jennings
HOLY SHIT. The world seems different. Thank you so much! I’m still in awe of how it has been helping me.
Nora Dekeyser
Wow. Just wow. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I’d emerge from this past weekend as I have. Wow. I feel like I have received a special present from you.
Cynthia Aherne
I didn’t say it clearly, but after 30 years of failed experiments, I’m finally out of the desperation arena. I feel pretty well now and am optimistic.
Dave Schrader
You are doing groundbreaking work. I have done lots and lots counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, drugs (started and stopped), psychiatric care, and two 10 day Vipassana meditation courses. You take it further. I have struggled with for years, waking up 40 times a night. now my anxiety dreams have calmed down.
Kelley Moffat
I have been public speaking without panic attacks and have experienced ease and spontaneous interaction with people I would have been intimidated by in the past. Also no constant free-floating anxiety in the background all the time. A great relief after 40 years of struggle. Thank you.
Why Conquering Fear Doesn’t Work and What To Do Instead
A revolutionary guide to acknowledging fear and developing the tools we need to build a healthy relationship with this confusing emotion—and use it as a positive force in our lives.
We all feel fear. Yet we are often taught to ignore it, overcome it, push past it. But to what benefit? This is the essential question that guides Kristen Ulmer’s remarkable exploration of our most misunderstood emotion in The Art of Fear.
Once recognized as the best extreme skier in the world (an honor she held for twelve years), Ulmer knows fear well. In this conversation-changing book, she argues that fear is not here to cause us problems—and that in fact, the only true issue we face with fear is our misguided reaction to it (not the fear itself).
Rebuilding our experience with fear from the ground up, Ulmer starts by exploring why we’ve come to view it as a negative. From here, she unpacks fear and shows it to be just one of 10,000 voices that make up our reality, here to help us come alive alongside joy, love, and gratitude. Introducing a mindfulness tool called “Shift,” Ulmer teaches readers how to experience fear in a simpler, more authentic way, transforming our relationship with this emotion from that of a draining battle into one that’s in line with our true nature.
Influenced by Ulmer’s own complicated relationship with fear and her over 15 years as a mindset facilitator, The Art of Fear will reconstruct the way we react to and experience fear—empowering us to easily and permanently address the underlying cause of our fear-based problems, and setting us on course to live a happier, more expansive future.
