Hi, I’m Christi Perillo ✨
Founder of the Start Anyway Club, and I LOVE that you are here!
I spark new ideas, build programs that empower others, and help women 50+ unleash their creativity and courage—especially with the help of AI.
Me? I’m a serial starter, adult learning expert, ChatGPT pro, brain science enthusiast, and recovering information junkie. I’m your go-to guide for turning big dreams into bold beginnings (especially if you’ve been waiting for the perfect time).
No, I’m not a guru.
I’m not selling overnight success or 10X hustle.
But here’s what I am:
✅ A lifelong starter — with a track record of turning sparks into real, meaningful projects (and proof: 28 moves, countless pivots, and bold reinventions).
✅ An expert in adult learning — with 20+ years designing and delivering high-impact programs for government, military, corporations, and non-profits that make change stick.
✅ A woman who’s lived the restart — after losing my daughter Janelle at just 17, I turned grief into a catalyst for courageous new beginnings. I know firsthand what it takes to start again—with joy, doubt, courage, and coffee.
✅ A believer in brain science, tiny habits, and your brilliance — I weave neuroscience, habit-building, and AI into simple tools that move women from stuck to sparked.
✅ A guide who gets women 50+ — because I am one. I know the challenges, the excuses, the fears—and I know the fire that’s still waiting to be unleashed.
I created the Start Anyway Club for smart, soulful, multi-passionate women who are ready for more—but don’t want overwhelm or noise.
I didn’t start this because I had it all figured out.
I started because I finally stopped waiting.
And now? I get to walk beside you while you do the same.
When I’m not sparking momentum, you’ll find me traveling with my hype crew, adventuring with my husband, biking, hiking, and exploring new places. I bring laughter, encouragement, and a fresh dose of “yes you can” to every room I step into.
👉 You’re not too late. You’re right on time. Start Anyway.

Start Anyway
Meet the Start Anyway Playbook—Your Personalized Guide to Finally Start… Anyway
You’re dreaming of something new—a business, a book, a big, bold next chapter. But let’s be real
You’re busy.
You’re a little (or a lot) nervous.
You’re not sure where (or how) to begin.
That’s exactly what this playbook is for.
What is the Start Anyway Club?
It’s where women 50+ stop waiting, start creating, and finally launch the dream that’s been calling their name — with a little help from AI, a whole lot of heart, and some seriously smart brain science.
The Start Anyway Club is part inspiration, part education, and part community-powered rocket fuel.
We blend smart tech (hello, ChatGPT!) with real-life connection and brain-based strategies that work with your natural motivation patterns — not against them.
You’ll learn how to outsmart self-doubt, tap into your brain’s reward system, and create habits that stick — all while building momentum on the projects that matter most to you.
No pressure. No perfection. Just progress.
