Your Authentic Life Starts Here
Authenticity, Movement, and Mindset Coaching
Helping You Discover Who You Are Beyond Limiting Beliefs So You Can Live and Move With Authenticity
A Note For You
Hi there! I'm so happy we found each other.
If you are searching for a life or fitness coach on this page, you are in a place I am familiar with. You are ready! You are prepared to take a leap of faith and trust your knowing. You're ready to change the narrative and live a balanced life filled with passion, curiosity, creativity, resilience, purpose, vulnerability, strength, and authenticity.
You're ready to look at your fitness, body, and life through a kaleidoscope instead of a microscope.
Twelve years ago, I hit rock bottom - deep depression, a difficult divorce, a cycling accident, and my 10th head injury left me questioning everything about myself. I felt depleted, scared, and anxious, like a stranger in my own life. That's when I hired a life coach who helped me unearth my authentic self and redefine my health, and look at my life through a wide-angle lens.
Now, with 30 years of fitness expertise and a life coaching certification, I help others do the same. As a life coach, I use movement and fitness as one modality to help clients connect authentically with themselves. I'm not a typical fitness trainer because I know your beliefs about your body mirror your beliefs about relationships, work, parenting, and more. How we relate to our bodies is a window into how we relate to life itself.
​
The core muscle that needs training to change beliefs is your mind. You need more than just a fitness coach for that. Whether you want to combine fitness and life coaching or prefer powerful conversation alone, I'll help you rewire thought and movement patterns, change habits, and calm your nervous system - so you can move and live authentically.
​
I created this practice to call bullshit on limiting beliefs so we can choose authenticity over shape-shifting, curiosity over judgment, and celebration over setback. You deserve to experience your beauty, bravery, and strength right now. It takes guts, patience, and practice, but the magic is lying in wait. I know it, and you do, too. Let's uncover it together.
​
I can't wait to meet you.

Meet Karen Caton-Brunings
Authenticity and Movement Coach

With 30 years of wellness and coaching experience, Karen helps clients challenge limiting beliefs and create deep insight so they can look at their fitness and life through a kaleidoscope instead of a microscope. Injury, chronic pain, depression, and brushes with death gave way to a journey of self-discovery that changed the way she viewed her fitness, body, and life.
Transitioning from personal training, Karen's multi-faceted coaching practice recognizes that clients seek transformation beyond the physical. Each desires to redefine, redesign, and rediscover their relationship with their authentic selves. Through empowered and intentional conversation, movement, exercise, or a combination of all three, Karen helps her clients find ways to move and live that align with the strength, knowing, power, and beauty buried behind limiting beliefs and old stories. She is part truth-bomber, drill sergeant, treasure hunter, and cheerleader, creatively inspiring clients to see the truth: you are your own best expert, whole, resourceful, capable, and powerful right now.
​​
Karen's clients are diverse, but they have one thing in common. They're hungry for self-awareness, ready to feel their feelings, and use authenticity to change their relationship with their bodies and lives.

The Podcast
So what is HumanHard?
​
Think being human is hard? That's because we've been hiding behind limiting beliefs that prevent us from showing up as our authentic selves. On HumanHard, we embrace, explore, and celebrate being human.
​
This podcast explores the messy, beautiful truth of the human experience and what it means to live authentically in a world that often tells us not to. We will dive deep, shamelessly examining the limiting beliefs that, left unchecked, hold us back - like feelings of not-enoughness or self-doubt - and inspire you to peel back the curtain on your most authentic, badass self.
​
Expect unfiltered conversations with incredible guests who are uncovering the magic of authenticity. Their gritty, glorious stories prove you can feel safe being vulnerably, unabashedly seen. Get ready for laughter, tears, and a few curse words as we challenge the collective belief that authenticity is unsafe.
HumanHard will give you the courage to develop new "unlimiting" beliefs that give you permission to bring your brilliant, powerful, authentic self to the table of your life. The price of admission to a life of freedom and truth is simply being you.
​
You're not alone in wanting the human experience to feel lighter. Find your authentic self and explore who you are beyond your limiting beliefs. Join us as we human hard together.
