This may be cringey, but IDGAF—I feel like an introduction is in order for all my new followers.

I want you to come to my page and know what I’m all about instead of wondering, “Who the fuck is this chick?”

I’m Karisa, a 39-year-old muscle mama to a 12-year-old daughter and an almost 10-year-old son. I married my grade school crush, Neal, and this year marks 22 years together. We have two golden retrievers, Kia and Tucker, who I’m absolutely obsessed with, along with two cats, Zoey and Zara.

I live in a small town in South Dakota. Around here you’ll find fitness content, perimenopause content, grief content, dog content, and the occasional fam bam and random bits of life thrown in too.

My husband and I both lost our dads within months of each other last year, and navigating grief has brought an entirely new perspective on life. On top of it all, I was thrown into perimenopause. Both are topics I don’t think are talked about nearly enough, so I try to bring them up as often as I can.

As for my journey with weight lifting, I’ve always been athletic, but as I’ve gotten older, my love for fitness and health has evolved into something much deeper. I preach the importance of strength training almost daily because muscle matters—especially as we age.

I’m not a coach. I don’t sell anything. And I don’t want to (so don’t ask). I’m just your average woman who’s passionate about becoming the healthiest, strongest version of herself while hopefully inspiring others along the way.

I love myself deeply and am obsessed with becoming the best version of me. I fought like hell to become the woman I am today. The only person I’m trying to be better than is the woman I was yesterday. I shine unapologetically and I don’t dim my light for anyone.

I post what I want. I don’t chase likes or comments. I’m here to connect with like-minded people, share my journey, and build a community of people who believe life doesn’t end at 39—it’s just getting good.

I’m proof that you can be a strong woman, a devoted mom, grieve deeply, laugh loudly, and still chase big goals—all at the same time.

They really hate to see it 😏 apparently when you become a mother you have to stop being hot, be miserable, and have no life. Yeah that won’t be me 🔥
