Kari didn’t start out chasing trophies, she just wanted to feel better after having kids. But one fitness class turned into a passion, and that passion turned into a lifestyle of competing, coaching, and building discipline in and out of the gym.

In this episode, she opens up about her first show, building confidence, how she meal preps as a mom, and the mindset shift that helped her stop relying on motivation and start relying on habits. We talk about body image, parenting, coaching others, and how to take your first step, no matter where you're starting from.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or self-conscious about walking into a gym, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
