The Heart Behind the Show…
Hello!
I’m Karie, and I believe that the best way to an open/Growth mindset is through a smile.
Professionally, I occupy a unique space as both a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a seasoned professional entertainer. Through years of practice, I’ve discovered that engagement is the key to retention. I leverage the high-octane excitement of a live game show to create a “high-receptivity” environment where mental wellness doesn’t feel like a lecture—it feels like a win.In a world where external pressures are high, I am passionate about providing kids with the agency to know their own truth and the tools to empower themselves. By de-stigmatizing mental health through play, I lower the barriers to learning. I use rhythmic and repetitive reinforcement to ensure that resilience-building techniques aren’t just heard, but internalized.My mission is to stop the stigma and empower the next generation to become the primary authors of their own wellness journeys, turning resilience into their greatest superpower.
A Family Mission…
This show is truly a family creation, brought to life with the heart and insight of the people I love most. I’ve been happily married for many years, a journey that, alongside raising our two children has given me a deep, personal appreciation for the beautiful dynamics of family life.My children have been instrumental in bringing this vision to light. My eldest (now an adult) provides a seasoned perspective on the long-term impact of these wellness tools. My 10-year-old ensures every game and activity is “kid-certified,” relevant, and high-energy.
Both were essential to the show’s creation, and you will often see them on stage co-hosting with me, bringing a relatable, multi-generational energy to every assembly.
My nurturing spirit extends to a house full of four-legged family members whom I’ve had the joy of raising from infancy. This includes my special three-legged baby, who serves as a daily reminder that we can all thrive, no matter the challenges we face.Meet Wesley: You might also meet the newest member of our team—Wesley, our Black Lab!
