Improving Myself with Heart and Humor
Hi, I’m Kari – founder of Project: Improve Me.

Life didn’t exactly go by the book for me. I became a mom at 17, worked hard, went back to school, earned my degrees, and raised a good human — all without Google, YouTube, or a safety net. Now I’m a proud grandma, an accountant by day, and a dream builder by night.
I created Project: Improve Me for women who are ready to rewrite their stories, reclaim their independence, and live with purpose — especially if you’re 45 or older and still figuring things out (like most of us are).
What You’ll Find Here:
This site is built around the PIM Life Map™— a simple, self-paced guide to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
You can start wherever you feel pulled — there’s no wrong path. The Life Map includes:
🔁 Reset – Clear Your Digital Life
Declutter your digital chaos and reclaim your mental space with the ClearMind Digital System™.
💰 Rebuild – Get Smart With Your Money
Take charge of your finances and future with the Solo Money Reset System™ — no fluff, no shame, just real tools for real women.
🪞 Reflect – Preserve What Matters
Start saving your stories, planning your legacy, and leaving something meaningful behind with Pen Your Past™.
Who I’m Here For:
You might be single. You might be married. You might be starting over.
What matters is this: You’re ready to stop surviving and start improving.
This space is for you if you:
✅ Crave clarity and peace of mind
✅ Want simple tools that actually help (not just more digital clutter)
✅ Are tired of feeling like it’s too late to start
✅ Want to leave something meaningful behind — even if your story is messy
What I Believe:
You don’t have to be perfect to move forward.
You can improve your life with tiny steps, not giant leaps.
Being over 45 isn’t a dead end — it’s a launch pad.
You’re not lazy or broken. You just need tools that work with your life, not against it.
Let’s Do This Together
If you’ve ever thought:
“I know I could be doing better — but I don’t know where to start.”
You’re in the right place.
Join me and many other women who are rebuilding, one smart decision at a time.

🐢 Meet Tilly
I’ve recently added Tilly the Turtle, a custom chatbot designed to help you find answers and ideas on budgeting, digital organizing, Pinterest, and other topics we talk about here. She’s a work in progress — so let me know if she’s helpful or hilariously wrong!
🌱 Be Part of the PIM Community
I try to ask a PIM Community Question at the end of every post. Feel free to comment — I’d love to learn more about you and hear your stories too. This isn’t just a blog — it’s a growing circle of women learning, sharing, and improving together.
With Lots of Love & Laughter – Kari 💚
