Hi I’m Karen, and I get it!
I’ve been there. I tried to meditate, tried to establish a daily routine, tried to have a better relationship with myself and the Divine, but I just couldn’t quite do it. I felt like all the decisions I had made were the wrong ones and I no longer trusted myself.
I was living in a tiny rental house, actually it was a single wide trailer, and could barely pay my rent or my bills. In fact, I was caught in the cycle of payday loan to payday loan, and If you’ve ever been in that cycle you know how hard it is to escape because you pay nearly your entire paycheck to the loan company, and then have nothing to live on until your next paycheck. As such I had no savings, and had a bad credit rating due to my extended debt and a recently foreclosed house with my ex-husband.
I felt defeated, overwhelmed and simply tired of living this way, but I felt like I had no options. I hated my job, hated my living conditions and just felt stuck.
One night as I cursed the world in the dark, I realized enough was enough, I had to take charge of my life, my whole life. I had to get out of that trailer and I had to find a real home that I enjoyed, and I had live life like I wanted to!
I decided it was time to do whatever it takes, it was definitely time to up my game.
As I drafted my game plan, it occurred to me that all the teachings of the spiritual masters mirrored the same techniques that I already used to connect deeply with the animals and nature.
All I had to do was direct these same effective practices to my life and Spirit, so I did. And things began to shift, big.
It wasn’t always easy, and sometimes it seemed like nothing was changing at all, but I kept at it.
Because I knew, somewhere inside me, I was worth it and I deserved a house of my own. Just 9 months later not only did I buy my house, but I took my first safari in Kenya, and the rest is herstory, as they say. You’ll hear more later.
I trusted my instincts and life changed dramatically
as I got into the natural flow of life
Join me in beautiful Stehekin Washington for this intensive small group retreat.

I use some of these same exercises in class and they have reported growth by over 65% in the ability for participants to trust their instincts and feel more connected to their soul and pupose.
What would change if YOU felt 50% more connected and confident in your intuition?
It’s amazing. I sat there, and I was thinking, my gosh, it doesn’t matter what church I’m in, it’s all one God and connected. I feel connected! And I was thinking to myself, I can’t wait to get home and write this down because the feeling, getting this feeling that I am one with everybody, we were just one.
Thank you for opening up my mind and my heart and my body to everything, to accept all things, to be with all things, to be in flow

About Karen
I’m a Minister with Centers for Spiritual Living; the host of the Connectedness podcast; and also an animal communicator (we can talk later why this is relevant). My top Clifton Strength is Connectedness, which is perfect because I love to talk about and teach of the connections between all things, particularly when it comes to us overcoming the worries and struggles of our lives to have a more satisfying life.
I have taught Financial Freedom classes for the past 6 years, Self-Mastery classes for the past 4 years and started a Life Mastery membership group two years ago. From these and the many other classes I’ve taught over the years, I’ve pulled out the threads that I’ve had and seen others have great success with, in addition to the practices and routines I’ve used to completely change my life and maintain that lifestyle.
I live north of Seattle Washington with my husband, dog and cats. I travel often, especially to Kenya, California and Europe, and am also a forever student. I am fascinated by life and love to explore both the outside world and the inner workings of my heart, mind, and soul.
I look forward to getting to know you.
Did I mention I love to travel? So much so that I feel so privileged and lucky to be able to host people on global adventures while connecting with animals, the locals, and God. It’s a beautiful place, this world, come see it with me!
