Humor Speaking, Keynotes, and Coaching
Where Psychology Meets Punchlines —
Humor That Heals, Inspires, and Transforms
Dr. Kristen Wynns is redefining what it means to inspire and entertain. With her groundbreaking blend of stand-up comedy, self-help, and motivational speaking, she offers audiences an experience that’s as uplifting as it is hilarious. Drawing from her extensive background as a clinical psychologist, author, and mom of two, Dr. Wynns brings warmth, wisdom, and wit to every stage. Her mission? To help people rediscover joy, resilience, and purpose — one laugh at a time. Get ready to laugh until your sides ache while gaining insights that last long after the show ends.
Meet Dr. Wynns — and Kiki
You may know Dr. Kristen Wynns as a respected North Carolina psychologist and founder of Wynns Family Psychology, where she’s spent over 20 years helping families thrive. She’s also the author of The No Wimpy Parenting Handbook, a straightforward (and funny!) guide for parents ready to reclaim peace at home. But now… meet Kiki — her hilarious alter ego. After decades of using humor in therapy sessions, team meetings, and everyday chaos (especially during the pandemic), Dr. Wynns realized laughter isn’t just a coping skill — it’s a healing force. In 2022, she stepped onto the stand-up stage as Kiki and immediately connected with audiences through her sharp observations, high energy, and honest storytelling. Since then, she’s performed across the East Coast, opened for nationally known comedians, and taken her show to Los Angeles and beyond. Whether it’s a comedy club, conference, or corporate retreat — Kiki’s signature blend of wit, wisdom, and warmth transforms every room.
