Coach Kaci Sunshine: Coaching & Wellness

Midlife isn’t a pause – it’s your power!

8 weeks to prove it…

This page is for the misfits, late bloomers, and one-kidney warriors chasing joy through movement.

I never set out to become an athlete—I just wanted to feel better in my body again.

What started as trying to sleep better turned into strength training, cycling, hiking, skating, and chasing adventure all over West Texas. I’ve deadlifted my own body weight, competed in transplant games, and moved my body through grief, growth, and joy.

Here, I share my workouts, milestones, progress, playlists, and all the messy magic of fitness over 40—because it’s not about looking a certain way. It’s about showing up with gratitude for what this one-kidney body can still do.

Let’s lift, laugh, and level up—together.

I know what it’s like to walk into a gym and have the hot, thin, young thing behind the counter look you up and down and you immediately get the urge to run…

Welcome to My Fitness & Health Coaching Space

Empowering Women Over 40—Mind, Body, and Spirit

I know what it’s like to want and need help. To look in the mirror and not recognize the person staring back. To carry pain—physical, emotional, and spiritual. I know the anxiety of trying on clothes, the ache of thinking you’ll never feel strong or healthy again, the overwhelm of not knowing where to start, and the heavy, looping tapes of self-doubt and trauma.

I know, because I’ve lived it.

But I also found a path forward—one step, one choice, one deep breath at a time. I’ve lost half of me….literally. Started at 230 pounds and now I’m at 115 pounds of muscle!

As a Registered Nurse, advocate, living kidney donor, endurance athlete, and NASM-certified trainer, I’m passionate about helping women over 40 reclaim their wellness and joy. You don’t have to be athletic, rich, or already “fit.” You just have to start. And I’m here to walk (or bike, hike, or dance!) beside you.

This space is for women who are ready to feel better in their bodies, find strength through movement, explore holistic wellness, and embrace healing inside and out—including emotional and spiritual wellness, whatever that means for you.

What You Can Expect Here:

Gentle, accessible workouts with modifications for every fitness level and budget.
Motivation tips that work with brains like mine (hello, AuDHD!).
Grace and self-love, especially on the messy days.
Shared tools for navigating perimenopause, hormonal shifts, and midlife changes with compassion and courage.
Local group rides and walks, virtual ROUVY rides, and online classes coming soon.
Real talk—no shame, no pressure, just real support from someone who truly gets it.

I’m still here at LifeGift, doing work I love. But I’m also building something new—something that lets me serve women like you in an even deeper, more personal way.

If I can find a new kind of strength in my late 40s, you can too. Let’s start your journey together, right here.
