Episode 29: Being Free To Be Me with Karen Laos

Have you ever felt like there’s something more ahead for you but the path to get there just isn’t clear? It’s a strange kind of stuckness when you have the sense that you are meant to do more and be more but you don’t yet know what ‘more’ might be.

Karen Laos felt like a racehorse behind the gates, all fired up and ready to go but the gates just weren’t open. The more that things expanded around her, the more constricted she felt in the place where she worked. It took almost two years for her to find her ‘more’.

And then the global pandemic struck.

Covid-19. What a time to be free!

Karen shares how she found her way to freedom so that she could answer her calling and make an even bigger impact in the world. Having escaped the prison of self-doubt and the paralysing fear of judgement that held her there, she now wants to help ten million women to achieve the same freedom. A communications expert by profession, Karen is on a mission to empower women to find their voice, overcome self doubt and speak with confidence.
