It’s that time of year when we start to focus on our goals and desires for the new year ahead. Fresh starts can be exciting. They hold so much potential energy and positive expectation. But don’t let yourself get bogged down and stuck in the “should” energy that can get in the way of your authentic goal-setting.  

Today I'm sharing my personal ritual of how I close off every year before setting my new goals for the new year. And then I share my perspective on why it’s empowering to unburden ourselves from prioritizing the things we think we “should” do, over the things that we genuinely desire doing.

It’s time to get the clarity you’re longing for, by trusting in your deeper truths.

Embodiment Coach Seodhna Keown joins Karen for an inspiration-filled conversation on how building embodied faith is helping her to live a more purpose-driven life.

Seodhna shares the path she took from releasing the golden handcuffs of a desk-bound corporate job to creating new, exciting offers that align with her authentic self. By taking small, intuitive steps, she is able to acknowledge the fear that comes along on the path, but does not allow it to consume her or throw her off her focus.

Seodhna’s path to doing truly fulfilling work is unfolding as she continues to heal the money blocks and feelings of low self-worth that used to sabotage her. As we look deeper into her process, she realizes that it’s not sheer blind faith, but rather hard-earned embodied faith that is allowing this newfound experience of being centered and grounded in her passion.

Making significant life changes often involves facing so-called “tests” that will challenge your decision. Instead of thinking of yourself as either passing or failing these tests, consider that with each forward or backward step, you are gaining more and more clarity and conviction.  

Think of it like when a rocket blasts off to the moon. It needs to reach a certain speed (or escape velocity) to break free of the earth’s gravitational pull. On today’s episode I’m sharing how you can ensure your own escape velocity so you can confidently and courageously make the change you want to make.

Get ready for a whole lot of inspiration, wisdom and practical guidance. Today I’m chatting with Mariaan, who is a member of my current in-person group facilitation of Julia Cameron’s Artist Way process. 

After the devastating loss of her best friend, Mariaan felt a strong motivation to transform her life. In our conversation, Mariaan shares how she came to the decision to leave her corporate job and return to the world of entrepreneurship. We discuss such topics as:

·         How to build trust in yourself and in Life so you can make life-changing decisions

·         How to lay a strong inner foundation that supports accelerated transformation

·         The role allowing and processing emotions plays in personal growth

·         Connecting to the guidance of your intuition

·         The importance of small actions for building strong momentum

·         When you follow your heart, the path unfolds as you take each step

Enjoy this rich and enlightening discussion about following your heart, trusting the process, and courageously navigating through the unknown.

One of our biggest needs on the unfolding path to our creative recovery is to feel safe and protected as we navigate our way through the unknown. But some of your go-to ways to numb out discomfort are actually working against you and hindering your progress.

Today I shine a light on some of the ways you might be creating the illusion of safety along your journey, and how they are keeping you in a holding pattern. And then I share some ways you can self-protect that will help build a strong foundation of real safety and protection that enable you to break free of your comfort zone and move gracefully into the zone of real growth. 

I show you the sneaky ways your brain tries to distract you from taking creative risks, and how to connect with your intuition so that you can learn to trust your true inner guidance.

When you finally get clear on what you want, why is it that sometimes the exact opposite shows up? While it might feel unfair or like something has gone wrong, it’s actually an opportunity for you to gain even more clarity and to solidify your commitment to yourself and your goal. 

There is important information and great power in contrast. On today’s episode I’m showing you how to gain your power back when you’re feeling or experiencing the opposite of what you really want. Use contrast as the gift it is to help you move forward into your most authentic self. 

The key to manifesting anything you want, is being willing to settle for something even better!

We think we know exactly what we want when we set out to manifest our biggest dreams. But holding on too tight to that limited view is the very thing that stifles the manifestation. Listen to today's episode and learn how to let go and trust in the bigger picture, so you can open up to receiving your biggest wish-- or something even better.

You have an inner guidance system that connects you to the manifestation of your personal dreams. It’s like the Global Positioning System in your car that guides you step by step from where you start, right to your destination’s door. 

It’s called your intuition, and today I’m showing you how to tap into it, learn how to hear it, and most importantly, learn how to trust it.

Your big dreams are already inevitable. All you need to do is dial in the destination and follow the guidance, step by step.

What is your money story? Your money story is a collective of the thoughts, beliefs and experiences you personally have about money. No one is born with a money story. It gets formed by the way you are raised, by your culture, religion, education, through past generations of your family, and by different experiences throughout your life. 

While your beliefs and experiences around money usually show up as “This is just the way it is,” I invite you to dig a little deeper and consider that as an adult, you have the power (and the right) to create a new money story. One that better serves you for where you are in your life now – and where you would like to go.

Listen as I share:

·       Some common ways limiting beliefs about money show up in our lives

·       Why healing your money story is important for creating new experiences

·       How to create a new, more empowered way of thinking about, believing in, and experiencing an abundance mindset
