Life Unraveled

An infusion of real talk storytelling, cultural critiques and personal reflections from a queer ex-evangelical. A space of encouraging support for overwhelmed overthinkers to reclaim and reimagine their lives...because often unraveling is the first step to something new. ✨

​

Hey there πŸ‘‹ Coach Kari here!

​

The idea that β€˜sometimes things have to fall apart for them to fall together’ is the heartbeat behind my coaching and Life Unraveled writing.

​

Because, when πŸ’© happens we can either choose to ignore it, or we can become intentional in our exploration & resolution of the β€˜undoing’ we’ve experienced.

​

But, let's be real, being intentional is hard.

​

​

I mean, when life unravels it often leaves us ruminating in indecision weighed down by tidal waves of overwhelm. And, we become uncertain about (and overthink) everything.

​

Yet, despite this difficulty, I still hope to inspire and empower you to be intentional - to support you as you take the unraveled threads of your life and find a clarity aligned with who you really are. And then, weave those threads back together into a tapestry of your own making - stronger and better than before.

​

Like what I had to do as a recovering religious fundamentalist. πŸ‘€

​

Yep. My life had to completely unravel before being able to recognize, understand, accept and embrace my true queer, gender expansive self.

​

You see, for decades, I lived by an imposed set of beliefs that gave me a mission, a sense of purpose & a confidence about who I was & how my life would unfold.

​

Until it didn’t.

​

Until, in 2015, after months of wrestling with questions that challenged everything I understood to be true, I suddenly found myself without a career or community - uncertain about who I was or how to move forward.

​

It was a dark, scary time from which I almost didn’t make it through.

​

But, after sifting through a lot of rubble, I took the unraveled threads and good pieces from my past and I worked to weave together a new tapestry. It’s taken some time, but I’ve repurposed the skills and experience I had in social service & ministry and I’ve used them to become a professional Authenticity Alignment Coach who helps big-hearted, deep feeling overthinkers relieve the flood of overwhelm and the spirals of indecisive rumination so they, too, can attain a clarity aligned with who they really are and reclaim an intentional life of calm and focus.

​

So, if you have some life to unravel, I’m here to cheer you on and support you in any way I can. 😊

​

Because the truth is, unraveling life is better when we do it together.

​

Hope to see you on the inside!
