hey there,

I’m Karen Joy

and I help teen girls build self-confidence, cultivate self-compassion, and develop resilience—all through strength training and mindset coaching—so they can become the women they were made to be.

Let’s cut to the chase—your daughter is struggling. She’s…

Insecure in
her body

Always stressed out

Giving up on things she loved

Way too hard on herself

Did you know that strength training can improve self-esteem and body image?

Strength training has been found to improve self-esteem and confidence, reduce anxiety and stress, and greater self-respect. It’s also a great way to build discipline, learn healthy/safe movements, and build self-efficacy.

Let me be her coach and personal trainer—you focus on being her biggest cheerleader.

What does it mean for me to be her coach and personal trainer? It looks like weekly 45-minute sessions (in-person or online) where we will work on building her physical, mental, and emotional strength and endurance.

Each 45-minute session includes strength training, mindset coaching, mindfulness, and skill-building.

Through each session, you’ll see her build more confidence, resilience, endurance, and strength.

I’m glad you asked! Professionally, I have worked with teenage girls for a long time. I got my bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Christian Counseling. From there, I worked in children and student ministry for seven years, mentoring girls weekly.

Now, I’ve become a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Life Coach.

Personally, I know what it’s like to struggle as a teenage girl. My life ran the gamut—between family struggles, anxiety, abuse, trauma, and everyday teenage issues—and I had to learn how to be gritty and keep going.

I want to help your daughter do the same.

Why am I the one to coach your teenager?

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Here's the thing, building mental, physical, and emotional strength and endurance takes time. AND, I don't want to make this inaccessible to anyone.

    My "standard" package is 12 weeks with weekly 45-minute sessions for $1250 (or three payments of $416.67).

    However, I can create a custom package for your family based on your budget and needs for support. Plus, I will always offer scholarships!

    If your daughter needs coaching—I will make a way for it to happen. Don't let finances hold you back.

  • Listen, it happens. I have two things to say about it:

    1. If your daughter didn't want to brush her teeth, would you let her stop? Probably not.

    2. If your daughter struggles with hard things—she isn't going to love this process.

    But this is all kind of the point. Building physical, mental, and emotional strength takes time, effort, and a whole lot of grit. She is likely going to want to give up.

    But we're not going to let her... right? RIGHT? Okay. Glad we had this talk.

  • I will send you the equipment for her to use during our sessions. It will include resistance bands, a ball, and some other things to help her build strength. There will also be an optional list for you if you want to purchase more.

    We'll meet on Google Meet and set her up somewhere I can ensure she is using proper form and technique and go through the session in the same way I would in person.

  • Great question! I'm located in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. We will meet either at a park, my local office, or a gym near you.

  • Yes! I'd love to help you do the same thing. In fact, there is a lot to be said about parents doing the activities you want your kids to do.

  • I am a follower of Jesus, yes, but whether or not your daughter's faith comes into coaching is completely up to her. I believe that our relationship with God is personal. So, if she wants to talk about her faith and incorporate it, we absolutely will! If she isn't there yet, we won't.

  • I love it! There are no silly questions. Just send me an email at hello@kjoymcb.com!

I spent almost 30 years trying to fit in the box—the box of others’ expectations, standards of success, happiness, visions for my life, and fear of what they would think if I stepped outside of the box. The box was built when I was a li
I stopped doing the things that I wanted and loved to do, I stopped making space for myself, and I broke my own trust and doubted my ability to follow through repeatedly—well, until recently. This year, I told myself I had to take action. I ne
