Life Wide Awake™
The Radical Parts of Living Awake: From Self-Abandonment to Self-Honor
A practice-based learning experience available live or online. Join a cohort, attend a single workshop, or take the on-demand course—same tools, different pacing. Choose the format that fits your life.
Returning to Yourself™
Allow • Align • Act
This isn't about becoming someone new.
This is about remembering who you were before adaptation slowly became identity.
Most people don't wake up one morning having lost themselves.
It happens quietly.
One accommodation.
One responsibility.
One relationship.
One survival strategy at a time.
Returning to Yourself™ invites you to slow down long enough to notice what has gradually become normal—and begin choosing with greater awareness.
ALLOW
You'll learn to:
• recognize the patterns running beneath daily life
• understand your nervous system responses
• notice the roles you've unconsciously adopted
• develop awareness without judgment
ALIGN
You'll learn to:
• reconnect with your own values
• distinguish obligation from authenticity
• understand what genuinely belongs to you
• practice remaining connected to yourself
ACT
You'll learn to:
• make decisions from clarity rather than exhaustion
• establish healthier boundaries
• communicate more intentionally
• create practical changes that support your daily life
Inspired by evidence-based boundary frameworks and nervous-system research. Coaching/education, not therapy.

Is This For You?
You May Recognize Yourself Here:
-
You've built a good life, but somewhere along the way, you stopped feeling fully present in it.
-
You're constantly taking care of everyone else, yet rarely ask yourself what you need.
-
You're exhausted, but rest never seems to restore you.
-
You find yourself wondering, "When did I become this version of myself?"
-
You don't necessarily want to leave your relationship, career, or life—you just want to feel more like yourself within it.
-
You often know what everyone else is feeling before you know what you're feeling.
-
You've become so accustomed to adapting that you're no longer sure what genuinely belongs to you.
-
A quiet part of you keeps whispering, "Something has to change."
If you've been functioning for years while quietly feeling disconnected from yourself, Returning to Yourself™ was created for you.
This experience isn't about becoming someone different. It's about recognizing the patterns that shaped you, reconnecting with what matters, and beginning to make choices that feel more like your own.
From Karen's Desk:
Looking Back on Costa Rica
When I imagined our first Life Wide Awake™ retreat, I hoped people would leave feeling more connected—to themselves, to one another, and to the life they wanted to live. What I didn't expect was how quickly a group of strangers would become a community.
Throughout the week, we explored what it means to Allow, Align, and Act. We slowed down, noticed the patterns that quietly shape our lives, and practiced making space before reacting. We laughed often, challenged ourselves, reflected deeply, and discovered that when people show up with open hearts, meaningful connection follows.
Costa Rica gave us more than beautiful scenery. It gave us Pura Vida—a way of seeing life with greater ease. A reminder that life is unfolding in us, not simply happening to us. That small shift in perspective became one of the most powerful lessons of the week.
As I watched our closing circle unfold, I was reminded why I created Life Wide Awake™. Beneath our different stories, we all long to feel more connected to ourselves and to live from a place that feels authentic rather than automatic.
To everyone who joined us—thank you. Your willingness to be curious, courageous, and fully present made the experience extraordinary. You reminded me that this work isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering who you've been all along.
I can't wait to welcome the next group.
With gratitude,
Karen xoxo
Experience Life Wide Awake—
You've become so good at carrying what never belonged to you that you've forgotten what it feels like to carry yourself.
Our Costa Rica retreat is complete, but the journey continues. Join the priority list to be the first to hear about future Life Wide Awake™ retreats, early registration, and new experiences.
Pura Vida
