Amy Smith on Episode 85: How to Stand Up For Yourself
Karen is an author and mentor who helps women who struggle with – or who are estranged from – their mothers overcome dysfunctional generational patterns and know that they can live truly happy, fulfilled lives, no matter what.
She champions the adult daughter who strives for peace in relationships, who bumps up against beliefs that are not her own, but which, at one time in her life she blindly took on – beliefs that ensure she will continue to doubt herself. She is brave enough to examine the beliefs that underpin her existence and ask herself what SHE wants to believe. As she cultivates her intuition, she will choose to trust her own answers.
Karen has been the reactive, resistant woman-child full of shame, blame, and desperation. She’s done the work in order to become a grown-ass woman who respects herself and rocks her life on her own terms while having relationships that are based on true compassion, honesty, appreciation, and love.
