The Person Behind Hugging The World With My Legs
Hi, I’m Kari—pianist, entrepreneur, and Jiu-Jitsu athlete in my mid-40s. I run several businesses, set ambitious goals, and travel whenever I can. My biggest challenge? Staying balanced and positive! My Brazilian husband likes to tease that I do too much, that I try to “hug the world with my legs.” I know I’m not superhuman, but I do have big ambitions and want to live life to the fullest.
On Hugging the World with My Legs, I share personal challenges (you can join in!), practical goal-setting strategies, honest insights from running businesses, and travel stories that prove midlife is the perfect time to dream bigger. If you love setting bold goals, traveling with purpose, and building something meaningful—welcome, you’re in the right place.
