Welcome to

shortwave

An on-demand coaching experience for high-achieving, high-performing, overcommitted women and femmes who want to bring their whole, true, colorful selves to the table.

Every. Damn. Day

The male/pale/stale playbook is holding you back.  

It makes you doubt your actions, your approaches, and your motivations. 

It forces you into shapes and molds that are not honest or authentic to who you are.

No wonder you’re exhausted and frustrated, and constantly muttering to yourself that there has to be a better way of doing things as YOU for YOU.

Inside shortwave, you’ll choose yourself, unapologetically and unabashedly, across all of the parts of your life.

You’ll own the different, unexpected, prismatic masterpiece that you are.

You’ll embrace your inner honey badger.

You’ll unleash the routine of getting out of your own way and telling your imposter inner voice to shut the fuck up. 

You’ll get shit done for you, as you.  All of you.

And you’ll feel supported, seen, and heard every step of the way.

Here’s how

it works

In shortwave, you’ll have a coach on stand-by: someone who supports you, cheers you, calls you on your bullshit (in a way that feels safe to you), who identifies where you’re creating your own obstacles, and reflects back what makes you a glitterbomb.  [It’s me.  I’m the coach.]

No appointment necessary.

Wherever you are, whenever you are, so am I.

Hi, I’m Kari

I’m a coach and co-consipirator for nontraditional women and femmes so they can disrupt the status quo to be the trust version of themselves.  I create a judgment-free zone that allows you to explore and own what makes you a glitterbomb, all the while bringing my usual play, humor and big-heartedness to our chats.

There have been times in my life–in new social situations, when I began my role as Director of Workforce Management at a federal agency– when I forced myself to behave in a way that was inauthentic.  I tried to become someone I wasn’t because I thought that would help me succeed. I allowed my voice to be made smaller and my presence a little less flashy. 

It took me a very long time to own that I’m less conventional than what’s “expected”. When I finally breathed my true self into my work and my interactions, my ability to get things done exploded.  I became, unapologetically, me.  

And I want that for you, always.

  • "Kari pushes me to think creatively, critically assess each situation I share with her, and look at these issues from a different lens. She asks tough questions and problem-solves collaboratively, considering various alternatives. She will review and provide feedback on documents I've shared with her (e.g., my resume). Kari, thank you for your unwavering support and helping me grow as a leader!" - N. Wright, Senior Advisor

  • "Working with Kari through shortwave was a game-changer during a very busy time in my business and life.

  • “Kari didn't to pull any punches or just tell me what I wanted to hear… There’s an authenticity and fearlessness to her, and it rubs off on you.” - D Stoller, Playwright

  • “Kari has an amazing and supportive energy! She genuinely cares about my success and this feels more like working with a great friend than anything with her fun humor and warmth.” - SK Bode, Arts Administrator

  • “...​Working with Kari has helped me remember more about who I am, what I want and she has supported me as I make decisions for how I can get there. She has also done this with kindness and a spark which has empowered me toward my weekly and big picture goals.” - R Mason, Lawyer

  • You get to choose between 3 months, 6 months (the most popular) or 1 year.

  • I’m so glad you’re Voxing when something is on your mind. If you Vox outside of program hours, it’s likely I’ll answer it at the start of the next business day. Now, is it possible I’ll answer if I’m available: sure. But then I wouldn’t expect you to respond until program hours resume, either!

  • Super question! You’re never annoying to me. If you’re asking that question, then you’re already honoring your boundaries and mine, and acting with integrity.

    Within the program, it is on-demand coaching through Voxer from 11am-7pm EST, Monday through Friday; and 10am-12noon EST, Saturday. These tend to the the hot times when people have had questions when I’ve offered and tested on-demand support.

    If you have a 4AM revelation or a shower thought, Vox me outside of those times and get that thought out! If I’m available, I’ll respond. If I’m not, I’ll respond during the next “on” period.

    Don’t ever worry about bothering me. You’re not. Promise.

  • Voxer is a FREE walkie-talkie application (phone, desktop) where you can text or voice chat me. Unlike a typical voice chat on your phone, our back-and-forth won’t disappear. You’ll be able to refer back and replay your favorites. Voxer also offers transcription of voice chats!

  • Sure: hit me up at kari@uproarcoaching.com

When you want support to be your most effervescent self

– always –

and you don’t want the constraints of scheduled conversations, shortwave is there for you.
