“My mother actually is a nutritionist. I know plenty of healthy eating tips, but my struggle was with the psychological side that Kari writes about. I started coaching sessions after following her website content for a few months. Her warm and approachable personality allows me to feel safe being fully vulnerable, and her analytical mind has allowed me to discover life-changing things about myself.
I am happy, relieved, and grateful to say, it works! I actually left a plate of cake half-eaten at a family gathering. This is something that NEVER would have happened before."

I've been there before, binge eating cookies at midnight even though I wished I could just go back to bed and yet my arm magnetically just going back for more despite my best intentions...

"I am almost 56, peri-almost-menopausal, a wife and mother to 5, and a grandmother to 2 babies. I have loved food since I was little and always had trouble controlling myself around food I that I get WAY too much enjoyment from. When I stumbled onto you (via Pinterest after searching for "How to fight cravings"), you seemed just what I was looking for and desperately needing. After having watched your videos, reading your books, and now chatting with you, I am totally convinced that you definitely ARE exactly what I need!! I have always read that you should think before you put food in your mouth, but never have I come across anyone who EXPLAINS what that process should look like, not to mention how emotionally deep it can get."
