Kari Lee's signature image with 'With Love & Laughter, Kari Lee' from Project: Improve Me.

Hi! I’m Kari. I started Project: Improve Me in 2025, right after turning 50, because I wanted something more meaningful than just spreadsheets and journal entries. I’m a single grandma working in accounting, and I see so many women overwhelmed at this stage of life. That’s why I’m here — to help midlife women get their digital lives in order, stress less about money, and share their stories… even if no one’s asking for them. It’s not about fixing your whole life overnight, just making it a little easier one step at a time.
