Brave Transitions: Kristina Pohl’s Journey from Nurse to Entrepreneur

What do you do when the system you trained in no longer aligns with how you want to serve people?

In this episode of Renegade Ventures, we sit down with Kristina Pohl, founder of Eternity Wellness in Louisville. After years as a NICU nurse and nurse practitioner, Kristina saw the gaps in traditional healthcare — and decided to build something different. With $5,000, a single treatment room, and a newborn at home, she launched her own integrative wellness practice just months before the pandemic. What followed was a crash course in entrepreneurship: learning business from scratch, hiring intentionally, investing in financial literacy, and scaling without losing the mission.

Today, Eternity Wellness offers IV therapy, aesthetics, hormone care, gender-affirming care, medical weight loss, movement classes, and more — all rooted in prevention and whole-person health.

We cover:

-The moment getting laid off became her catalyst

-Moving from provider to CEO

-The hardest part of hiring and building culture

-Bridging gaps in menopause and affirming care

-What aspiring entrepreneurs really need to know before starting

-If you’ve ever felt called to build something better — this conversation is for you.
