Navigating the edges of growth, connection, and transformation

What if the edges — between certainty and uncertainty, between what is and what could be — are exactly where transformation happens?

At The Relational Edge, we believe these thresholds aren’t meant to be crossed alone.
They’re relational spaces—where curiosity, care, courage, and connection guide the way. This is where growth and wonder begin. Not in isolation, but between us.

This space is an invitation to:

  • Step in together with curiosity and care—navigating complexity at the edges of transformation.

  • Cultivate courage—recognizing that change is nurtured in relationship.

  • Co-create spaces where relational practices shape the future we long for.

The best part? The Relational Edge isn’t just a concept—it’s a shared journey.

Through ongoing research, we’re exploring how relational wisdom in action fosters connection, effective teaming, and sustained well-being. If you’re curious to learn more or be part of this learning journey, reach out to me on LinkedIn.

A Shared Journey

The Relational Edge isn’t a book or a lab or a toolkit—
it’s a shared journey of inquiry, practice, and becoming.
It’s how we explore what’s possible when we bring relational wisdom into action—
in our lives, our work, and the change we hope to create.

Who is this for?

For anyone curious about how we live and lead through relationship:

✔️ Coaches and facilitators supporting growth in and through connection
✔️ Leaders and teams navigating complexity with collaboration
✔️ Changemakers and community builders shaping inclusive spaces
✔️ Anyone committed to co-creating a better world—together

What is emerging?

We’re currently prototyping a growing set of tools and offerings—from story-based field guides to real-time relational practices.

✨ These are designed to help us deepen how we show up together: in families, in workplaces, in communities, and in movements for change.

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Kristin Bodiford.

I am a social scientist, conversation sparkler, leadership wrangler, and change facilitator.

I believe that how we show up in relationships shapes everything—
from personal well-being to organizational culture to collective transformation.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve partnered with communities, teams, and changemakers around the world—
exploring how relational wisdom can guide us through complexity with courage, care, and co-creation.

And this is my pal, Dutton. 🐴 Together, we explore what it means to build trust, attune to each other, and grow through shared presence.

I’m passionate about:
✨ Sparking meaningful conversations about relational wisdom
✨ Co-creating spaces of trust, courage, and collaboration
✨ Exploring the edges of transformation—where something new can emerge between us

Let’s connect and explore together on LinkedIn!
