Online grief coaching, especially for widows who don't want grief controlling the rest of their life.
Based in the Kansas City area + working with widows everywhere.
My husband unexpectedly died in 2017.
I was 38-years-old, our girls were 8 and 11.
I've always said that Eric dying was horrible,
that telling the kids was a nightmare,
I grieved — it was painful AF
— as it's supposed to be.
But eventually, there came a time when ...
I was ready to finally heal + feel better—I just didn't know how.

"I feel so much lighter and full of hope. Working with Kari transformed my life! I can speak and think fondly of my husband now. I no longer wake up (or go to bed) with tears and overwhelming grief that consumes me. I'm ready to take on this next chapter in my life on my terms - not grief's terms."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I LOVED working with Kari from the start. There were real tears, fears, and deep pain as we went through the program. But it worked ya’ll……somehow at the end of the sessions I felt better!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I followed Kari after the loss of her husband on Facebook. Never in a million years did I think I would be a widow. I had my Discovery Call about 5-mo after my own husband died. I feel like Kari and I just clicked. The program was hard. It challenged me. But, that’s what I needed. And, at the end of it, my heart didn’t hurt as bad. I was at peace with my marriage. And, it was a really great. I will forever miss him."
Grief coaching is about intentionally working on your grief — not just talking about it, but doing something about it.
As a coach, I help you understand what's happening, figure out what might be keeping you stuck + give you tools to actually work on it.
Therapy and coaching can absolutely work together, but they're not the same.
I'm not a therapist. I don't diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
There's no timeline for when you're "supposed" to be ready. Everyone is different.
Being ready is really about deciding.
Deciding you're ready to do or be or feel something different.
Deciding you're ready to intentionally work on your grief instead of waiting for time to make things better.
You don't have to know how.
That's what I'm here for.
Nope. While I specialize in working with widows, grief is grief — and I've worked with people grieving all kinds of relationships + losses.
So, no. You don't have to be a widow to work with me.
If you're grieving + you're ready to intentionally work on it, you're welcome here.
Absolutely. My grief coaching is online, so you don't have to live anywhere near Kansas City to work with me.
I'm based in the Kansas City area, but I work with widows + private clients wherever they live.
If you have internet, we can work together.
Relationships are complicated. Grief can be, too.
You can love someone + be angry with them. Miss them + feel relieved. Have beautiful memories + really painful ones.
You don't have to pretend your relationship was perfect just because they died.
We work with the whole relationship — all of it.
No.
Your relationship with them doesn't end because they died. Your love doesn't have to end either.
Healing is learning how to live with the reality of their absence without grief controlling your life.
Absolutely. There's no timeline for grief. Everyone is different.
You can miss your person + feel their absence for the rest of your life. That's grief.
But I believe + teach that there's a difference between grief and actively grieving.
Grief can always be there because they're always going to be gone.
But that doesn't mean you have to feel the way you feel right now forever.
Yes. You really can feel better.
That doesn't mean you'll stop missing your person. It doesn't mean you'll never have hard days or moments when the grief hits you out of nowhere.
It means you can learn how to live with the grief differently.
You can laugh again. Feel good again. Look forward to things again. Love your life again.
Your person died. You didn't. And you're still allowed to live.
I offer a few different levels of online grief support, depending on what you need + how ready you are to dig in.
You can start with my free grief resources, join The Heartwork Collective for ongoing support + community with other widows, or work with me privately through The Heartwork for deeper, one-on-one grief coaching.
