We are we not talking positive aging, why are we still hooked on anti-aging, I don't get it?

For too long, women have been written off after a certain age - both in Hollywood and in the everyday life we know.

But today’s female leaders are rewriting the narrative and showing the world what’s possible.

Still think recovery is a “nice-to-have”? In reality, it’s one of the most underrated leadership-life skills out there.

So often, when we face a new challenge, an old, nervous voice shows up. But sometimes, our younger selves also carry the boldest lessons: the moments when we were fearless, determined, and unapologetic about asking for what we wanted.

👉 Read on if you’ve ever hesitated to ask for what you want, or if fear has tried to silence your voice.

Every woman I’ve worked with over the last 13 years experiences it, a tightness in the throat when the truth starts to rise.

Women are told how to act, what to believe, and how to speak. Breaking that “good girl” conditioning isn’t about being anti-establishment, it’s about showing up authentically.

There’s a powerful connection between taboos and negative thinking.

Taboos shape our behaviour long before we’re even aware of it. Especially as women, we’re taught to conform, not challenge. To smile, not speak up. To please, not take up space.

Here, I’ve written about how taboos operate in our thinking, our workplaces, and our bodies - and how we start to shake them off.

Sharing about my evening with Marianne Williamson - one of the greatest teachers of our time.

She called women into leadership - not just in titles and roles, but in presence, purpose, and power.

I’m Karen and I’m a reformed people pleaser.

I’ve finally dropped the forced smile.

These days, I only smile when something genuinely makes me happy or tickles me. After years of “good girl” conditioning, I’ve grown into my face, my body, and my truth - and I’m no longer smiling for anyone else’s comfort.

Where does your wisdom live?

Is it in your gut - that deep, instinctive knowing?

In your heart - where truth hits hard and moves you to act?

In your third eye - through intuition, dreams, and vision?

Or your creative mind - where ideas, emotions, and insight flow?

Maybe… it’s in the space around you. The field. The vibe. The energy.

Start with your heart. Yes. But don’t forget your mind.

One of the most powerful pieces of personal development work is taking your inner critic to bootcamp. Until we become aware of our saboteur’s voice, we can’t truly lead from wisdom.

Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime in professional spaces - perimenopause and the way it silently disrupts leadership confidence.

For many women in midlife, perimenopause arrives with an unexpected side effect: a powerful wave of self-doubt. Read my blog that will help you find your voice again.

Isolation and separation aren’t just experiences - they’re tactics. Sometimes survival mechanisms. Especially for women.

We’ve been conditioned to see competition as toxic, as something to avoid. We’ve been told to “be kind.” To not make waves. To play small. But that’s only one side of the story.

I recently returned from a leadership retreat where our mission was simple yet profound: to reconnect with ourselves, each other, and nature. We invested in ‘simply being’ - a practice that, paradoxically, leads to ‘rightful action’ and clearer next steps.

This blog addresses that wisdom is both waiting and action, and talks about feminine leadership, collaboration & deep recovery.

Menopause is no longer a silent struggle confined to private lives. It’s a workplace issue, an economic issue, and a leadership issue.

Gaining all the material objects I desired, the title, the lifestyle, the penthouse wasn’t it. It was in that moment that I started to cultivate what it was.

I discovered it was to feel - more connection, love that is expressive and joy so great words defy me. I also wanted to release the emotions I’d previously locked away. These goals remain today.

Mental Health Awareness Week: I realised how addicted I am to my phone, to the approvals of others. These are detours, a constant distraction away from what simply is a shinning glimmer of presence that lies inside, waiting to be felt. Ready to embrace you warmly.

It got me thinking about life and our experiences; what we seek, what we reject and the places we create, and lead from.

Life is full of pain, terror, love and beauty. We are born onto the stage, bright lights and attentive eyes shine on us.

MAKING HERSTORY IN PERIMENOPAUSE
I found my car keys in the fridge the other day and wondered if I was having a breakdown.

There is a visionary roadmap for everyone. The fastest way out of stuck-ness is to dream bigger, face what’s holding you back and elevate your vision.

Are you ready for a new vision? A spiritual vision is in alignment with your soul’s purpose. Your purpose is to learn, heal and grow in ways that enhance your life, and world. You have a mission and many opportunities to create plans that align with this. Your potential to create is limitless.
