It's the next episode of the pod with the fantastic Karen.

Karen was my Airbnb host after a workshop I delivered that no-one showed up to. She was exceptionally kind, helpful and made the entire trip more valuable than I could ever have imagined.

Karen is a phenomenal soul whose life was completely transformed by the heartbreaking loss of her son. In the wake of this unimaginable pain, she found herself feeling isolated and deeply hurt, unable to fully be there for her youngest child when they needed her most. It was during this difficult and fragile time that Karen began a journey of self-reflection.

Now, Karen pours everything she’s learned into her work as a wellbeing practitioner, supporting parents of neurodivergent children. Her mission is simple but powerful: to create environments where people feel connected, understood, and treated with the humanity they deserve
