An infusion of real talk storytelling, cultural critiques and personal reflections from a queer ex-evangelical. A space of encouraging support for folks reclaiming and reimagining their lives...because often unraveling is the first step to something new. ✨
Hey there 👋 Coach Kari here! 😎
The idea that ‘sometimes things have to fall apart for them to fall together’ represents the heartbeat behind my work with both clients and Life Unraveled.
Because, let's be real…when 💩 happens we can choose to ignore it, or we can become intentional in our exploration and resolution of the ‘undoing’ we’ve experienced.
So, my goal here is to inspire and empower you to be intentional. To support you as you take the unraveled threads of your life and, with renewed clarity, confidence and courage, weave them back together into a tapestry of your own making - stronger and better than before.
Sadly, however, many of us are frantically treading water in the current riptide of our times. And, we need help grabbing hold of one of the most powerful tools we have - our vision for a thriving future as we reclaim and reimagine what could be.
Which is exactly what I had to do as a recovering religious fundamentalist.
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. Something that gave me a mission, a sense of purpose and a confidence about who I was and how my life would unfold.
Until it didn’t.
In 2015, after many months of wrestling with questions that challenged my entire way of thinking and being, everything I had understood to be true - and that had informed who I was, why I was here and where I was going - suddenly disappeared. And, I found myself without a career or a community - uncertain about who I was or how to move forward.
It was a dark and scary time that 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 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 and ministry and used them to become a certified professional life coach.
So, if you have some life to unravel and would like some support in doing so, 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! 💜
