I interviewed Karen Cleveland. Rev. Karen Cleveland is a Minister, Spiritual Connection Specialist, and Animal Communicator and draws on all three to help people live the life of their dreams. Through teaching Financial Freedom classes, Self-Mastery Classes, and her Life Mastery membership over the past seven years, Karen has developed tools and methods that have been proven to work time and time again, offering tangible benefits to those who work with her.

Karen is also the host of the Connectedness Podcast where she often hosts guest experts in the fields of spirituality, self-improvement, and connectedness. Through this experience, Karen has been able to adjust her teachings and understandings even further for the benefit of her students, clients, and listeners.

Karen uses engaging stories to illustrate the holistic methods of setting and achieving goals that she teaches. She believes that everything is interconnected and that by understanding these connections, we can lead happier and more fulfilling lives. Karen's practical tools and mindset coaching have helped countless clients achieve financial freedom, overcome personal struggles, and unlock their full potential.

My personal transformation started post-divorce when I was living BROKE - stuck in a payday loan cycle - and my adult son was diagnosed with cancer and had to come to live with me. I felt like #1 mom failure for not being able to provide a better, nurturing environment.

I had to shift my mindset and routines to get out of that mess, and from this experience, I now am able to share tips and inspiration with others.

I’m a spiritual connection specialist, a New-Thought minister, and a mindset mentor. I offer curated, bespoke, transformational adventures for (mostly) women who’ve lost touch with their center, feel lost, and are ready to feel whole again through our literal and metaphorical journey in distant lands. Upon return home, we continue the inner journey to accomplish once-buried dreams through mind, body, and soul connection exercises.

I’m also the host of the Connectedness podcast where I teach these same principles from my EVOLVE framework which engage mind, body, and soul to help all listeners begin their own journey back to their heart’s dreams as well as the importance of coincidences and synchronicities in life that bring us everyday miracles and magic.
