Leading ladies: Kerri Birkley
Meet Kerri Birkley. Mother. Wife. Wellness Advocate. Sunshine in Human Form. A couple of years ago, I met Kerri randomly on a flight from Tampa to Salt Lake City. We became instant friends in our 4 hour flight. Kerri was getting ready to release her book and I was a year into running my own business. Crazy how things connect in life. So grateful to have met this wonderful human and grateful to have such a kind, selfless, and compassionate friend.
Nestled in Northern Kentucky with her husband Christian, their five children, and a golden doodle, Kerri Birkley is much more than an entrepreneur, she’s a force of inspiration. A self-made success, Kerri has dedicated her life to empowering individuals to release fear, embrace their self-worth, and step into true freedom. Her journey from bankruptcy to abundance serves as a beacon of possibility for women worldwide.
Kerri’s mantra, “I’m just a girl who decided I was worth it—and believed I could do it,” embodies her mission to inspire others to take bold action in pursuit of their dreams.
As a success coach, Kerri’s work focuses on helping women unlock their unique potential and achieve their goals. Her approach combines her expertise in entrepreneurship, personal growth, and mindset to guide individuals through transformational journeys. Whether building a business, redefining a lifestyle, or achieving a personal breakthrough, Kerri equips her clients with the tools and confidence to make their dreams a reality.
Her mission is simple yet profound: inspire belief, instill confidence, and provide actionable strategies to create lives filled with purpose and fulfillment.
Fifteen years ago, Kerri embarked on her entrepreneurial path with big dreams and little experience. The road was anything but smooth, filled with challenges, setbacks, and moments of doubt. Yet, each obstacle became a stepping stone, shaping her resilience and determination. Through perseverance and self-belief, Kerri turned her struggles into triumphs. Today, she shares her hard-earned wisdom to inspire others to embrace their journeys, no matter how daunting.
Kerri’s transformation took a pivotal turn nearly a decade ago when she attended OolaPalooza. This life-changing event introduced her to the Oola principles, a framework for achieving balance and growth across key areas of life. For Kerri, this was a “line-in-the-sand” moment that reaffirmed her worth and set her on a path of intentional self-investment. While Kerri’s success is self-made, she credits Oola for providing the structure and guidance to transform her dreams into reality. Now, she shares these principles to help others achieve balance, purpose, and fulfillment.
Kerri’s passion is rooted in her own struggles. Having faced the depths of financial and emotional despair, she knows what it feels like to be trapped in self-doubt and uncertainty. Her journey from rock bottom to a life of freedom fuels her mission to uplift women who are in the same place she once was. “No woman should have to stay in that place,” Kerri says. She wants every woman to know they are worthy of success and capable of transforming their lives, just like she did.
Kerri has recently re-partnered with Oola, the personal development company that changed her life. Through this collaboration, she’s on a mission to share Oola’s transformative wellness products and life-changing principles with a global audience. For Kerri, this partnership is more than business, it’s a movement. “Oola is more than products; it’s a catalyst for personal growth and life balance,” she explains. Her goal is to inspire others to experience the same profound transformation and to equip them with the tools to achieve balance, wellness, and purpose.
Kerri Birkley’s story is a powerful testament to resilience, belief, and the transformative power of action. Her work continues to inspire women to embrace their worth, step into their power, and create the lives they’ve always dreamed of. As Kerri leads with passion and purpose, her journey reminds us all that we are capable of greatness when we decide we’re worth it.
“Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won’t, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t. ”
