Introducing Michelle: From Burnout to Brilliance
In 2016, Michelle hit a wall. Burnt out and discouraged, she realized that climbing the corporate ladder in wealth management wasn't fulfilling her. Balancing single motherhood with her studies towards a BS in Business from Eastern Oregon University had already been a monumental challenge. But when chronic illness and anxiety disorder took their toll, she knew she had to make a change. Leaving behind the corporate world, Michelle embarked on a journey of self-discovery, spending years as a personal and virtual assistant. It wasn't glamorous, but it brought her closer to feeling whole again.
Then came the pandemic, halting life as we knew it. Forced to confront her people-pleasing tendencies, Michelle unearthed her true passion and life's purpose: guiding others through their inner journeys as a life coach.
Seeking a fresh start, Michelle and her husband traded the hustle and bustle of Portland, Oregon for the serene embrace of Fond du Lac, WI. There, she dedicated herself to honing her skills, earning certification as a life coach from the prestigious Erickson Coaching International program in 2022.
Since then, Michelle has been on a mission to empower women in business, partnering with nonprofits and beyond to support burnt-out and exhausted neuro-spicy women in reigniting their inner spark.

Meet Kari: Your Compassionate Guide Through Life's Transitions
In 1997, Kari embarked on a journey of service as a Certified Nursing Assistant. What began as a job soon evolved into a deep-seated passion, shaping her path for over two decades. Through years of dedicated learning, hands-on experience, and personal growth, Kari honed her skills in caring for others with compassion and empathy.
Then, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Kari felt a calling to chart a new course. Drawing from her wealth of experience in end-of-life care, she took a bold step forward as an End of Life Doula. It was during her time supporting individuals through the final stages of life that Kari recognized a common thread: amidst the challenges of death and dying, people yearned for relief from the burdens of everyday existence.
With a gentle touch and a listening ear, Kari delves into difficult topics and life's most profound transitions with unwavering compassion and boundless curiosity. As an advocate for holistic well-being, she guides others on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, helping them navigate life's twists and turns with grace and resilience.
