About the Guests:

Kari Berridge is multifaceted and embodies resilience and triumph over life’s challenges. She is a dedicated mother, proud grandma, accomplished fitness coach, successful business owner, and inspiring author.

In her compelling book, “Cut the Anchor”, Kari shares her powerful life journey, beginning with her courageous confrontation of limiting self-beliefs. Her story is a testament to her unwavering spirit, which has guided her through a tumultuous path of heartache and transformation. Battling pervasive feelings of self-doubt, Kari navigated a series of difficult trials, including her struggles with Anorexia, depression, surviving sexual assault, enduring toxic and abusive relationships, facing infidelity, surviving a suicide attempt, experiencing the challenges of two failed marriages, and navigating through single parenting.

Kari’s story is a testament to the human spirit’s unconquerable nature. She broke free from the suffocating grip of negative self-beliefs and dedicated herself to the hard work required to become the remarkable woman she is today. She offers insight into believing in yourself to become the person you were meant to be.

Kari’s message resonates deeply with those who have walked a similar path, demonstrating that it is possible to rise above adversity and emerge as a stronger, more authentic version of oneself.
