“I have so much more capacity when I’m having fun and prioritizing myself.”

Hi, I’m Kari!

Odds are, it’s no coincidence you landed on this page. If you’re here, I’m guessing you’ve become familiar with how unpleasant it is to build a business, a team, or simply a life that while feeling disconnected from joy, fun and fulfillment.

If so – welcome, my friend. I’ve been there too, which is exactly how I became a “Fun Coach” (Weird title, right? Took me a while to get used to, too.)

I was a hairstylist straight out of high school…

and I absolutely adored making women feel beautiful while diving into deep conversations in between highlights and haircuts.

This led me to pursue personal training and fitness coaching.

Here, the early twenties version of Kari learned how to authentically and joyfully build a business and she thrived for the first time.

My passion for personal transformation led me straight into life and mindset coaching –

not the fluffy “take my advice” kind, but the real “flip side of therapy” kind of coaching that took years of professional study and practice to fully grasp and embody.

I expected the pivot from health and fitness coaching to life and mindset coaching to be simple and smooth, so it took me by surprise when it was more of a wipe the slate clean and start fresh situation than a pivot.

I was devastated that my once thriving company was back to square one. So I hustled.

I followed all the expert blueprints and formulas to regain my success, and in the process I abandoned genuine human connection, playfulness and intuitive, and creativity. As a result, I burned TF OUT. I mean, I was literally on my knees praying for a miracle at the peak of it.

(Side note – never put that much of your self worth in a vocation. Such a slippery, scary slope.)

In a series of dramatic events, I spontaneously got a PUPPY and finally came to –

I realized that the most crucial parts of myself and my business had fallen through the cracks and I was suffering in every way as a result.

This puppy, better known as my angel Jazz, reminded me what JOY and ALIVENESS felt like – which led me to start intentionally reintroducing funinto my life.

Before long the pieces started to shift back together and business started to pick up. Fun-ifying my entrepreneurial journey has been so impactful that I’ve been a total geek about the science and research of The Three Elements of Fun – Connection, Play and Creativity – ever since.

Now, my entire mission is to help as many career focused women as possible learn how to create the life of their dreams via the fun-ified path (I like to call it rainbow road) instead of the one most traveled: hustle culture. Also known as burnout culture.
