"I love what Karen offers: an opportunity to be out in the natural beauty of the central coast while connecting to my own inner voice and wisdom. Karen offers me insights, questions, and observations along the trail that open my heart and let healing start to happen. I've always noticed my son talked more while moving...it works for me, too! Hiking has been great way for me to open up and share my heart. Thanks, Karen, for offering coaching on the Trail!"~ Sarah C. Atascadero
My Story
First, thank you for your interest! I get so much pleasure out of helping people feel good again. I've been through tough times myself. My own divorce was very challenging. There were thirteen years of marriage, betrayal, and three young children. I had no job or career of my own (my role had been to support my Wasband start his business and raise our boys). And I didn't have family living in my area at the time, to help out with our children.
Going through the divorce, there were days when I just wanted to stay in bed, but I didn't have a choice; I had a two month old baby to care for and two other little boys. There were so many strong emotions to contend with. I felt so betrayed, so angry and disappointed. The thought of being a single mom was horrifying. And the hurt feelings toward my Wasband made me feel hopeless about the future.
However, there was this peculiar silver lining at the same time . . . the feeling of turning over a new leaf. I felt a sense of freedom. Despite my broken heart, I also remember feeling super motivated. I had a strong desire not to be a victim. I wanted to be emotionally present for my boys. I wanted to show my small community that single moms could be happy and prosper. And there was a new feeling of freedom from despair about a failing marriage, a new sense of having more energy that could be mine. Instead of giving it to my Wasband, I could have it for myself and my children. I journaled to myself at the time, "Some day I will be helping others go through this."
That was ten years ago. Fortunately I had a strong background in the helping profession as a Licensed Professional Counselor to help me with my journey. All those years of helping others in transition came full circle. I took that experience and became a Victor (winner) over my situation. I would love to teach you how to do the same!
