Hi, I’m Kari Trent Stageberg! I’m a speaker, author, and Certified Master Life Coach who is passionate about helping others find the clarity, confidence, and courage to step into the life they were created for.

But More than that…

I’m a wife, mom, and domestic violence survivor who knows first hand that healing is possible, transformation is real, and God’s plan is bigger than our brokenness.

Here Is Some Of My Story…

From Loving Home, To Abusive Marriage

I grew up with a family who loved me, and loved Jesus. But to me, God always felt abstract. That led me to walk away from my faith, and long story VERY VERY short, I ended up eloping, shocking my whole family, and found myself in the middle of an abusive relationship.

But There Was Hope…

While I had isolated myself from my family, and my friends, they never gave up on me. And one day God provided the courage and opportunity for a way out…

While you can watch the video about my story here, I eventually left that relationship, and have spent the past 10+ years healing and experience the abundant peace and freedom that only Jesus can bring.

Today…

God’s Redemption

Now, I’m married to an incredible man (Joey), we have two incredible sons, and I get to help others experience the same hope, healing, and restoration as well.

However, here’s the reality. There is ALWAYS a journey.

Like when Joey and I were trying to have children. It took us 5 years, lots of loss, fertility treatments, and eventually God showing up through an IVF miracle.

Or, right now, as we are living through the nightmare of a horrific car accident that severely injured Joey, and has changed our family dramatically. But, I can honestly tell you, that even in the darkest moments for our family, there was and is still hope.

what i believe for you…

I don’t know what challenges you are facing today. But I do know that hope is not exclusive to our story. There is hope for you. For your family. For your circumstances. And often, it starts by getting the help and support that you need.

How I can help

That’s why I’ve dedicated my life to coaching, speaking, and writing—so you don’t have to walk this journey alone. As a certified life coach, speaker, and author, I provide practical tools and faith-based wisdom to help you.
