Let's Build Something Better

We don't get what we want, we get who we are. ~Cathy Heller

January 10, 2024

I've been thinking a lot about how 2024 is looking to be a very telling and pivotal year for us in the States, both politically and culturally.

How it has increased potential to effect marginalized groups of people and anyone who is 'othered'.

How if we, as individuals, don't know who we are on a deep and certain level, we will not know how (and we will be unable) to show up and truly make a difference in this time.

Do you move through life with an empowered identity?

I ask because I believe the key to truly knowing what we want and how to get what we want lies in knowing who we truly are.

Not just a knowing in our heads, but a knowing in our hearts.

A knowing that, because we have fully embraced who we are and we fully believe that who-we-are-matters, empowers us to be bold and courageous.

So...

Do you know who you are?

Do you know what you want?

Do you know how to get what you want?

How we answer these questions is key to the life we will lead.

It will impact us both personally and collectively.

And, it's what drives my heart to #buildsomethingbetter for this community and through my coaching.

Because, we can't change the world for the better if we're afraid of, hide or run away from the change that is stirring in our Selves.

All of this begins with each of us stepping into, and fully embracing, our own empowered identity.

Are you ready?

And, are you with me? 🙋‍♀️

Your Coach,

Kari

When you look in the mirror these days, do you recognize the person staring back at you? It's okay if you don't. It happens. To a lot of us. Especially middle age. The question is, are you willing to dig in, explore and reconnect with who you once were and really are? I hope so! Because you matter. And, inside my weekly newsletter, you can begin your journey of embracing your true, authentic self as we build your something better, together. Hope to see you on the inside! 💜 ~Coach Kari (they/she)

April 3, 2024 Hey Reader, Last week's brief pondering between creating and building stirred the pot a bit... So, let's keep stirring. 😏 In case you missed it, here's the heart of it: To create something has a 'wave a magic wand and poof there it is' feel to it where building something speaks of an intentional investment of time, focus, commitment, energy and resources. Now, to clarify, I'm not against the idea or concept of creation. In fact, I'm a content creator (as this email is evidence...

March 20, 2024 Hey Reader, I have a confession 🤫 to make to you this week about something I've been resisting for a long, long time. But, before I tell you what it is, let me pave the way just a little bit. Since I started coaching professionally 5 years ago, I've wrestled with what kind of coach I should be. Translation: what do I want to call myself? Core Energy Coach? Life Transitions Coach? Identity Empowerment Coach? 🤷♀️ To be honest, I can't remember all of the title variations I've...
