SHORT BIO:

She turned this experience into teaching other go-getters and rising entrepreneurs how to thrive at work without sacrificing their health and relationships. Karlee is the founder of The Boundary Academy and an author, coach, and speaker. Connect with her at KarleeFain.com because boundaries open more doors than backstage passes.
FULL BIO
Karlee Fain is a celebrity business and boundary coach, author, speaker, and founder of The Boundary Academy, all from her small hometown. She teaches career-driven people how to use nourishment as their professional growth strategy, enabling them to become leaders in their career without sacrificing their well-being.
At nine-years-old Karlee's parents moved to live full-time a yoga ashram to learn from world-renowned healthy living experts. While Karlee embraced the lifestyle, she also secretly yearned for more mainstream living. When she wasn’t eating kale and doing yoga, she was playing “business”.
Now, as a sought-after coach to celebrities and excutives, Karlee excels in the art of clearing away busy work for her clients, giving them time and energy to focus on their careers, health, and relationships. She and her clients are regulars on MTV, ESPN, Forbes, Rolling Stone, winning Grammy Awards, and at globally renowned wellness centers like Kripalu Center. But to Karlee, career-driven women are the real rock stars - they have the wisdom and courage to create careers that benefit both themselves and others.
While the results that Karlee’s clients get might feel like magic, their success is rooted in the simple proven methods that Karlee shares to elevate them from trying to fit into an outdated business model - to creating a way of working in the world that gives them energy and nourishment daily.
