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)
To Be or Not to Be The Angry Atheist
Every day is a chance for us to be, and become, better.
January 24, 2024
Tell me, does the following sound familiar? 🤔
Have you ever said, thought or felt that way?
About a relationship? A job or a boss? Your health? Your finances? World events? Politics? (yeah I went there) Or, just life in general?
🙋♀️
Whether seeking to sooth our frustrations or we're simply exhausted, I'll admit, it's tempting to go down this road and line of thinking.
But, if we're honest? It's also the easy way out. 😶
So...what if I told you there's another choice?
One that leans towards hope but takes a lot more courage?
Like the one I made as I sat in a pile of religious rubble back in 2015?
I call it my 'crossroads decision'.
Where I had to choose between whether I would become the 'angry atheist' who spent the rest of my life arguing for 'the other side' or if I would work to build something better.
Long story short: I chose to build something better.
And...You. can. too.
So:
Because you can choose to build a better relationship with your partner, your children or your neighbors. You can choose to build a better atmosphere in your business or workplace. You can choose to build a better sense of identity, purpose and system of self care. And, you can choose to build a better ___fill in the blank___.
The question is, will you?
Not gonna lie or sugar coat it.
It's not simple. And, it's not easy.
But, it is totally worth it.
And, I'm here to help you make it happen!

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 27, 2024 Hi Reader, When you talk about improving yourself, and your life, which one of the following statements captures the essence of what it is that you really want to do? Create a life you love? -or- Build a life you love? Create a better life? -or- Build a better life? Create something better? -or- Build something better? And...does it even matter? 🤔 I think it does. Here's why. To create something has this 'wave a magic wand and poof there it is' feel to it where to build...
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...
