Karen spent her career in the federal healthcare space — giving her time, energy, and brainpower to improve systems and support others.
But like many high-performing professionals, she neglected her own well-being in the process.
Now running her own consulting business and managing a bustling family life with six adult kids and seven grandkids, Karen realized something had to change.
In this powerful conversation, Zach and Karen unpack:
Why professionals in healthcare often struggle to apply wellness to themselves
What shifted when Karen finally prioritized hydration, sleep, and nervous system regulation
How accountability and structure created consistent momentum
The truth about weight loss plateaus after 50 — and what actually worked
Why data from her Oura Ring helped her become more self-aware and strategic
If you’re a high-achieving professional who’s running on empty, Karen’s journey might just be the wake-up call you need.
