Tired of Living in The Gray?

You’ve checked the boxes: the career, income, responsibility — but something inside still feels off. You’re living in that quiet space between “I’m fine” and who you know you could be.

Coping mechanisms

Relying on small “escapes” (alcohol, scrolling, overeating, or staying busy) to soften stress, even though it’s starting to dull your life.

Mental Fog

Feeling mentally scattered or unsettled, even when life looks good on paper. Your mind feels noisy, and peace feels out of reach.

Hidden Costs

Your habits, stress, and avoidance are affecting more than you admit — your sleep, your energy, your marriage, and your health. Quiet, but real.

High Stakes

People rely on you — at home, at work, everywhere. But your inner world isn’t matching the image you hold up, and the pressure is wearing you down.

Time Slipping Away

You keep telling yourself you’ll deal with it “later,” but the years are moving fast. You want your life to feel aligned now, not eventually or “someday” that may never come.

The Facade

You know how to look steady, capable, and successful — but inside, you feel disconnected, tired, or unfulfilled. You’re holding it together, not living fully.

I'm Kari.

Founder of GrayTonic • Gray Area Coach • Behavioral Guide

I understand the gray areas because I lived in them too.

For years, my life looked successful on the outside, (work, marriage, friendships), but inside I felt restless, stressed, and disconnected. In 2016, I made a quiet but life-changing decision: I stopped drinking, not because I had to, but because I was tired of hiding behind it.
That choice led me back to myself, to God, and to a life that finally felt honest again.

Today, I help growth-minded leaders and couples do the same.
Not through surface fixes, but by working through the Core 4 areas of life — your habits, identity, relationships, and direction. The places where most gray areas quietly live.

My approach blends behavioral insight, emotional honesty, and faith-led grounding. I’m here to help you see what’s really going on underneath, make sense of your patterns, and walk toward a life marked by peace, connection, and purpose — not pressure.

This is the work I was created to do.

You don't need to fix what's broken. You need to reclaim what's been buried

Most people wait until something collapses. I help you long before that — in the quiet gray areas where stress, habits, and disconnection quietly grow.

What's Possible When You Get Out of the Gray

This isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about removing the noise, rebuilding the Core 4, and creating a life that feels peaceful, connected, and steady again.

Razor-Sharp Mental Clarity

Live with a clearer mind and calmer thoughts — making decisions from truth, not stress or autopilot. Feel steady again inside your own head.

Accelerated Business Growth

When you feel grounded and aligned, everything you lead grows healthier — your work, your impact, and the way you show up in the world.

Deeper Relationships

Reconnect with the people who matter most — your spouse, kids, friends, and yourself. Show up with presence, honesty, and emotional steadiness.

Renewed Sense of Purpose

Remember who you are and what you’re here for. Realign with your values, your identity, and the life God is quietly calling you back to.

Freedom from Hidden Habits

Let go of the habits and coping mechanisms that no longer serve you — alcohol, overthinking, busyness, numbing — and replace them with patterns rooted in peace and integrity.

WELCOME!

A grounded, human approach for growth-minded leaders ready for real change.

This isn’t therapy, quick tips, or cheerleading. It’s a grounded, faith-aligned process that helps you clear the noise, heal the gray areas, and rebuild the Core 4 so your life actually works again.

When helpful, I collaborate with trusted specialists to support every layer of your growth.

01

See What’s Really Going On

Identify the gray areas holding you back — habits, stress cycles, emotional patterns, and the places where you’ve been on autopilot. We get honest, compassionate, and clear about what’s underneath it all.

02

Rebuild the Core 4

We stabilize the foundations — your body, your being, your relationships, and your direction.

This is where your peace returns, your identity strengthens, and change finally sticks.

03

Live the New Way

With support, accountability, and honest conversations, you build habits you’re proud of, show up with integrity, and lead your life with clarity and connection — not coping.

Leaders just like you are quietly navigating the gray.
You don’t have to do it alone.
