What up, Beasts! Welcome back to the show. Today, I sit down with the incredible Karen Sarmento, a nurse practitioner turned mindset mentor, who shares her powerful story of transformation. Karen takes us through the moment her life was turned upside down after an unexpected loss and how she found herself stuck in a cycle of grief, guilt, and self-destruction. But through deep self-reflection and support, she chose a different path—one of healing, growth, and empowerment. We dive into the all-too-familiar checklist of life, questioning whether we’re truly living for ourselves or just following what society says we should do. Karen reminds us that real change begins when we stop running on autopilot and start intentionally designing a life that actually aligns with who we are.
We also explore the heavy weight of shame and guilt—how they keep us isolated and small, and why releasing them is key to moving forward. Karen offers powerful insights on self-worth, the lifelong journey of healing, and the importance of listening to that inner voice nudging us toward something greater. Plus, we talk about the connection between mindset and health, how self-respect influences the way we care for our bodies, and why giving ourselves grace is just as important as striving for growth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re playing small, doubting yourself, or stuck in a cycle of regret, this episode is for you. Listen in and remember: everything you need is already within you—you just have to listen.
Bio: Karen Sarmento is a dynamic Success Strategist for high-achieving women who are ready to redefine success on their own terms. She specializes in guiding accomplished women who have checked all the success boxes, but feel disconnected from their soul's true purpose. Karen helps them transform from feeling unfulfilled and small to living with confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose.
As the host of the "We Are Meant for More" podcast, Karen empowers women to tune into their inner voice and silence the self-critic that holds them back. Through her unique framework, which integrates the power of the subconscious mind and manifestation techniques, she enables her clients to create a life that reflects their deepest desires and fullest potential.
As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs on your heart-strings and/or I hope you laugh.
