010 - Before coaching, Kari's life was "just fine". She was recently divorced and learning to be the sole breadwinner and single mom. She worried about money, which impacted every decision she made.
Thankfully, Kari decided "just fine" wasn't enough for her. She wanted to have "an amazing second half of life".
Kari learned to balance structure with creativity, and increased the profits of her graphic design business by 50%. She improved the relationships in her life when she stopped people pleasing. She learned to trust the universe, and choose optimism at every turn.
Don't miss this heartwarming conversation that demonstrates the transformative power of coaching and the possibility of creating not just a thriving career, but a truly fulfilling life.

“Just stop caring what other people think!”
We’ve all heard that one. It’s a lot easier said than done, and that's why I'm here to help. I'll explain why we care so much about others' opinions and provide practical strategies to evaluate and overcome this tendency.
Do you often catch yourself worrying about what others think of you? Whether it's in social settings or at work, it's time to break free from this cycle.
I’ll share a story about how I let my fear of failure and concern about others' judgment held me back from something I actually wanted to do.

008 - If your home is cluttered, chances are your mind is, too. In today’s episode, I will teach you the simple steps for decluttering any space. Decluttering your entire house may sound very overwhelming, so I recommend that you start with a small space, like a sock drawer, and spend 30 minutes or less.
I’ll also cover the reasons why you shouldn’t keep clothes that don’t fit you, or hold on to items you no longer want but spent a lot of money on. I’ll help you lovingly let go of your great aunt’s table cloth that you never liked in the first place.
Join me and start letting go of what you DON’T want to create space and freedom in your home and your life.
I created a free decluttering guide that you can download and use for reference as you work on clearing out your space. Grab it here.

007 This week we have a guest on the podcast. I invited my friend and client Lauren Rapaport because she is a shining example of how you can take your life from stuck, overwhelmed and miserable to “the world is my oyster and I can have and create anything I want.”
In this episode, Lauren will tell you exactly how and what she did to create her new, happy life.
Sneak preview: she quit the job she hated and started a new business. She quit drinking and started feeling her feelings. She quit being in “victim mentality” and stopped beating herself up. She accepted her type 1 diabetes instead of hating it. She started loving life and having gratitude for everything.
To quote Lauren “I am just 100% happier than I was before”.
Tune in to get the full scoop, this is a good one!

002 - This episode is all about what’s in your control - and what’s not! When you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed, taking the time to determine what you can control not only makes you feel better, but also gives you a “to do” list and a “to don’t” list.
Your own thoughts, feelings and actions are always in your control. What other people think about you or what they do is always out of your control. I’ll teach you a quick tool to reduce your stress by focusing on what’s in your control.

001 - Life Coach Michelle Gauthier introduces herself and her new podcast, The Overwhelmed Working Woman.
In this first episode, I’ll teach you the very first step to stop feeling overwhelmed, which is to get friendly with it. Instead of wishing overwhelm would go away or trying to ignore it, I'll teach you how to get curious about it. When you understand your overwhelm and stress, you can learn how to control and reduce it.
I’ll also introduce myself and tell you about my journey from overwhelmed working corporate mom to calm life coach.
You’ll also learn that I love naps and meditation - and that I’m bossy.
