  • I hope everyone finds this podcast

    I have been listening to Kara for years! I have changed my mind and thoughts so much. I started with thinking neutral thoughts about my body and quieting that allowed me to move onto and manage other thoughts. I was able to try something I’ve wanted to do for years because I managed my mind on the matter. Just because I might fail doesn’t mean I shouldn’t do it. I am a person who tries things. I just hope everyone can find freedom from negative thoughts that hold us back.

  • Thanks from a fellow coach

    Hi Kara! I’m really enjoying hearing your expertise and wisdom on coaching and business building, especially as I am a certified life coach in my first year of business. I really enjoyed the most recent Q&A episode about “what thoughts did you think the first three years of your business”, especially hearing that it’s a natural thing to incur debt and to operate at a loss for any new business at least for the first year. That’s healing and also validating at the same time! I’m really taking note... more
