“Karen is genuinely one of the most remarkable people I’ve ever met. Her own journey through abuse, addiction, homelessness and recovery led her to become a social worker - a job that she has no intention of leaving even though her coaching business has really taken off. The reason she's so successful - even through the pandemic, is her absolute commitment to showing up and serving her community.” Jo Casey
