In Karen's new book Travel Mania: Stories of Wanderlust she explores the life-changing moments that only five decades of traveling can provide. With more than 90 countries under her belt Karen started her life of adventure and travel addiction when she left home at 17 for a solo trip in Europe.

In Karen's book ‘The View From Breast Pocket Mountain' before I even got to page 50 she had introduced me to her young relationship with Joseph Heller, author of Catch 22, hanging out with Neneh Cherry (childhood hero of mine). Now, I am a sloooooow reader - I like that about myself - I read about 10 books a year and these days listen to more, but I decided to purchase Karen's book and dip in before our conversation. I couldn't put it down. From the first page, that we don't reveal - it has you hooked. And hooked you should be. I am genuinely changed through our conversation - I just loved listening to her talking about being a mother and taking the next steps, humbling herself to being both inside and outside a culture and living a full life in the Japanese countryside. Karen is beautiful and one of the most wonderful things I love about being a woman is how we can traverse with ease across intelligent meaningful conversations with depth and skill to talking about beauty and today was no exception - before we hit record, we both paused and topped up our lipstick! We didn't even touch on the fact that Karen almost became a dancer and taught modern dance and at the end of the conversation, Karen reads from her novel; a wonderful chapter about her relationship with her neighbours - I mean let's just drop MC hammer in here shall we (I also drop a tasty tidbit in here about my history with the Hammer). In terms of brilliance - you can't touch this. (See what I did there?) The questions we DON'T have about our parents and how many stories live in our imagination We talk about imagination and living in the past and the burden of creating anxiety in our fantasies - brilliant coaching fodder! Curiosity and pragmatism She was raised in a time when there was no imaginings about not respecting a parent. It was simply not an option The power and influence of good teachers and mentors and how important the people who will see and witness your potential are. This comes up in a future conversation too (look out for May) AND in the conversation with Leza Lowitz DREAMS - opening the edges of our dreams through contact with people who can open our dreams What happens when she - she just couldn't get enough Following what's in front of you and being swept away - not reckless, not crazy, not even edgy but unafraid Corners - going around a corner and not being afraid and not knowing what's around the corner The joy of becoming a mother and how she never found having a child limiting, she couldn't be more grateful for children and all that role created for her She is absolutely clear in the book about how hard it was on a farm with no running water and toilets they had to empty themselves and 3 young kids - there's NO BS here The tragedy of isolation and the joy of community in motherhood You will have to read the book to get the full dojo experience but Karen teases us with the year they had on a dojo Being in community in the deep Shizuoka countryside on Japan How becoming a Japanese Calligraphy 2-dan (basically better than a black-belt) opened Japanese culture up She stopped being a rebel and what she has to say about standing out and fitting in Life as a cross-cultural coach columnist Her life now, her four adult children and her approach to future projects Instagram @karenhillanton www.karenhillanton.com Buy her book here.

On today's The Mind to Lead Podcast, I virtually sat down with Karen Tisdell. I believe now is the perfect time to have Karen on the show because she is an expert when it comes to LinkedIn profile creation. If you are looking to optimise your LinkedIn profile for your personal and company brand during this time, then this is a must-listen. Karen became a LinkedIn profile writer because she's fascinated with people's stories and always has been. In her former career as a recruiter (14 years), Karen used to weave stories into resumes to ensure her candidates were selected for interview. In 2010, she saw the increasing need for everyone to have a well-crafted LinkedIn profile and launched a LinkedIn profile & resume writing business. Karen's since helped countless senior leaders shape their stories so they would be found by all the right people. In addition to knowing every LinkedIn profile writing technique, Karen is a recognised top LinkedIn Trainer who can train you, or your team, on how to use LinkedIn to grow a pipeline of potential clients. As a former recruiter, Karen was an early adopter of LinkedIn and has witnessed its evolution from 2005 to what it is now (the largest B2B global networking site where you can prospect, qualify and stay front of mind with those that matter to your business.) In Karen's words "LinkedIn is far more than simply a place to be head-hunted. This is a powerful branding tool impacting if and how you are perceived online... It's a new world. Let me help you conquer it."   Questions I asked Karen: (2:10) Who is Karen, and what has brought you to where you are today. (3:15) How has LinkedIn changed, and why is it becoming more popular? (5:15) What advice would you have to people who want to get started on LinkedIn? (6:30) How important is the bio when people start a new profile? (8:45) Fear holds a lot of people back from posting. What is a common blocker that you come up against? (12:40) What goes through your mind when you get "trolls" or "haters"? And how do you overcome it? (15:45) How do help people who want to start putting themselves out there on LinkedIn, especially when they are working for a big company and have restrictions? (19:42) How can people optimise their profile and stand out in a crowded market place? (22:10) What's your thought in connecting with people on LinkedIn without a welcome message? (24:50) Is there anything coming on LinkedIn that you're in the know of? (28:41) What good things have come out of starting to promote yourself on LinkedIn from a business point of view? (31:52) What advice would you give to someone who wants to start an online profile, and THIS is what I want you to do today?    Connect with Karen Linkedin Connect with Georgie Instagram - @georgielhubbard Linkedin - /georgiehubbard  Facebook - /georgielhubbard

Is all your focus on sales and marketing? There's no doubt you need to be thinking and taking action on your marketing plans and sales, but too many business owners only focus on where their next clients are coming from. All their time and attention is on marketing, product creation, launches and selling. When you do this, you often find that you have designed and created an incredible penthouse business through big product launches and high ticket sale events. But when you've decided to grow and scale-up and tried to do your product launches again and again and again, you suffer from launch fatigue and often feel burnt out. When this happens, it's because you've not paid enough attention to the 10 or 20 floors below to hold up your penthouse business; the infrastructure, systems, processes and people to support your growth. Welcome to True Profit Business, the podcast that dives into what it really takes to create a purposeful, playful and profitable business. In this episode, Karen Skidmore takes you through the five True Profit Growth Pillars; Purpose, Planning, Power, Process and People. In Karen's book, True Profit Business, you can more detail of how each of these pillars in Chapter 3, as well as range of practical exercises that will help you review, reflect and plan what action to take to start building these pillars in your business. But before you go off and do these exercises, listen in to this overview of how they all work together.

My guest this week is Karen Newell, co-author with Dr. Eben Alexander of Living in a Mindful Universe, and co-creator of Sacred Acoustics, which produces binaural beats audio recordings. Don't worry if you've never heard of binaural beats—Karen and I explore just what they are and how they're created, and many intriguing topics in this area. These simple beats seem to have pretty far-reaching effects on things like sleep and anxiety. We also get into the nature of true unconditional love, how binaural beats can enhance meditation practice, the link between binaural beats and near-death experiences (which is relevant in light of Karen's work with Dr. Alexander, a guest on a previous episode of the podcast), and even the spiritual energy of animals. What binaural beats are and how the mind perceives them How binaural beats direct activity away from the neocortex, quieting the thinking mind The origin of binaural beats The use of binaural beats in meditation Using binaural beats to improve sleep Who we are at our core The spiritual vacuum in our society The energy of animals The nature of true unconditional love Experiencing love during meditation practice The connection between binaural beats and near-death experiences Effects of binaural beats on anxiety (click here to download my free e-guide 10 Ways to Manage Stress and Anxiety Every Day) Karen and I discussed some of the research on binaural beats; here are some of the studies that have been published: Abeln et al. (2014) Bang et al. (2019) Garcia-Argibay et al. (2019) — a meta-analysis of 22 studies Here's the link to Karen's co-authored book with Eben Alexander (affiliate link): Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon's Journey Into the Heart of Consciousness Karen referenced the didgeridoo, a traditional wind instrument from Australia. I had to look it up to remember what it was—here's more information if you're curious: Didgeridoo. Karen Newell is an innovator in the emerging field of brainwave entrainment audio meditation, and  empowers others in their journeys of self-discovery. Using Sacred Acoustics recordings, she teaches how to connect to inner guidance, achieve inspiration, improve wellness and develop intuition. In Karen's search for answers to fundamental questions, it became clear that direct experience is crucial to full understanding. To bolster her strong sense of inner knowing and alignment with her higher nature, she enrolled in a series of hands-on experiential courses to investigate and develop such skills as lucid dreaming, astral travel, telepathy, remote viewing, self-hypnosis, and different forms of energy healing. She developed a facile expertise in living through daily connection with universal consciousness using heart awareness as a central element. At international workshops presented with best-selling author Dr. Eben Alexander, Karen demonstrates key practices of consciousness exploration: heart awareness, intention, maintaining neutrality, emotional management and cultivating internal knowing. Find Karen online at the Sacred Acoustics website, where you can download a free binaural beats recording (or click here for the direct link).

Is non-consensual pornography use within a relationship a form a sexual coercion? What do both sides say about this issue? We unpack some important aspects of this topic! Karen, a victim of betrayal trauma and a therapist, states, "I discovered that my husband had been unfaithful and it was a slow, leaky discovery. In reality, there was sexual addiction, acting out, affairs, and exchanging of photographs. I did not have the awareness to know the extent of the emotional abuse that was occurring." Pornography Is Sexually Coercive Many women do not realize that they are even being abused in these ways that are more covert and less obvious. This is how and why the abuse continues to thrive. Karen continues, "Once I found out more information I was in absolute shock. There is some level of shame in being a victim. It is a really difficult thing to identify yourself as a victim. It was a slow awakening for me. I realized that I had been in freeze mode for many years; it is paralysis. You can be in a situation where you are emotionally and psychologically abused and you really do not identify it. It is so insidious. I did end up recognizing his behavior as being cyclic and set boundaries to disengage and keep myself safe." But often times the implementation of boundaries can escalate abusive behaviors. In Karen's case, this was true, "He continued to escalate further and further when he was not getting way. He used my boundaries to justify himself. In addiction, addicts will twist and justify the behavior but the driving force is addiction." Sexual Coercion Must Not Be Accepted In Any Form Anne, founder of Betrayal Trauma Recovery, states, "Abusers will use your boundaries against you. They will blame you for his choices and his actions.  On top of that, the societal scripts seem to justify getting needs met and it often is not put in the context of abuse. So it remains unrecognized." Karen agrees, "Viewing sex as a need that must be met feeds into the entitlement that men have. Feminism is not about becoming like men and imitating what they do; it is about being able to become who we are as women. We want a sex-positive culture, which means we want to acknowledge that we have desires and it is ok to honor those. It does not mean that we imitate toxic masculinity." Sexual Coercion Can Be Subtle But Damaging Anne adds, "It also does not mean that we pattern our sexuality after pornography. That is the most unhealthy. The sex-positive movement is being used in a way that is abusive and unhealthy. It is a form of spiritual bypass.  Not accepting pornography does not make me sex-negative. It makes me healthy. This is a false dichotomy." Karen shares her thoughts on this issue of the many treatment programs that deal with problematic sexual behavior, "Pornography is exploitative and abusive. Abusiveness is a major component of sex addiction. People who use substances are abusing a substance. People who use pornography are using and abusing other people. The addiction treatment industry itself it is not addressing it. There is so much stigma around addiction that they fail to understand and treat the abusive component to the addiction. They want to stop the behavior but do not want to acknowledge the harm it causes to women and children. This only enables the addict to further abuse." Women's Boundaries Should Be Respected And Not Coerced It is an issue that Anne has seen over and over again, "It is an obvious and misogynistic form of victim-blaming. Women are not kept safe, they are not even being treated with respect by trained professionals." So, is pornography sexual coercion? Karen says yes, "Any form of porn in your relationship after you have asked for it not to be is a form of sexual coercion. Women absolutely have the right to say what type of sexual experiences they want within their relationship. Women have the right to say they are not comfortable with their partner using pornography.

My new journaling course, Tapping Into Your Inspired Potential, is for sale on my website! This is for you if you are ready to let go of feeling like you aren't living UP to your potential and are ready to live INTO who you were born to be.   Here are some of the big topics we talked about… Relationship discourse is traditionally invisible in our culture - not taught in schools Energy of attractiveness can be created in our speaking Why taking a beginner’s mind to relationships is key The need to look as though “you know,” blocks opportunity for learning How “not wanting to make mistakes” factors with courage in all kinds of relationships Intimacy: allowing a slow unfolding of our authentic selves Honoring the choices of the other; honoring oneself In Karen’s Voice“There are universal laws about relationship - one of them is that it happens in language; another is that we’re constantly being drawn towards and repelled from other people.” “We need to learn how to make requests and assessments effectively. Assessments are always an opinion. We have to be able to listen and understand other’s intentions. We begin to look much more deeply under the surface of the words.”“In my view you’re never more attractive than when you’re open, operating in a mood of wonder, you have generosity, you show up as grateful, and you are interested.”“As human beings we are constantly growing, constantly in a space of learning.”“Another law of relationship is that we are here to learn. There is a way to increase the speed and effectiveness of learning.” “Intimacy is the willingness to be mutually, deeply known. Do you want to be loved for who yo u truly are, or do you want to be loved for who you pretend to be?”“If we don’t give ourselves permission to be learners, it’s going to be impossible to be intimate with someone else.”“We declare to each other, ‘Your concerns are my concerns.’ This is the foundation for partnership.” Connect with Karen Website FacebookInstagram

A woman came into our office; we’ll call her Karen, very upset and jealous that her husband was “attracted to other women”. She had come across a picture of a woman he had liked on his Instagram account, which set off her jealousy. In fact, she got so mad at him, she accused him of being unfaithful and threatened to divorce him. A man I coached, let’s call him Timothy, was enraged with his girlfriend, because she was always talking about how great her car was. Every time they’d go driving, she’d say, “I love this car, it makes me so happy driving it!” When he heard her say that, he’d feel a wave of anger arising inside him, and he’d clench his jaws in hopes of not saying something nasty. But sometimes he just couldn’t help himself and berated her for going on and on about her “stupid car”. What do these two examples have in common? First, both people got really angry over their partner’s behavior. Secondly, both of them reacted out of anger in ways they afterwards felt bad about, and which created a significant fall-out. Karen ended up with a serious breakdown after her outburst and accusations, and Timothy ended up having to apologize and backpedal after letting his girlfriend have it, but even after apologizing, he still felt mad and she felt hurt and kept her distance. Third, and perhaps most importantly, both Karen and Timothy shared a very common predicament: They both made sketchy conclusions based on sketchy evidence. Did you ever read or see the Hunger Games series? In case you haven’t, our young protagonists Catniss and Peeta go through all manner of harassment and awfulness at the hands of the “evil empire”, called The Capitol. Peeta is tortured and brainwashed to the point where he believes his beloved Catniss is his mortal enemy. The bad guys messed with his head so badly he can’t tell friend from foe, love from hate, fantasy from reality. When they get reunited, Catniss and Peeta make up a game, a test of sorts, to help Peeta regain his sanity. Peeta says what he thinks, then asks Catniss, “Real or not real?” In the final scene, they’re snuggled up in bed, and Peeta says, “You love me. Real or not real?” You might guess what her answer is:-). Why is that relevant here? Because both Karen and Timothy, although dealing with seemingly very different situations, are in a similar situation to Peeta in the Hunger Games. They don’t know what’s real or not real, true or not true, accurate or false. They don’t know what is fantasy and what is reality. Karen sees an image on her husband’s Instagram account and quickly makes several conclusions. She concludes that … He’s attracted to this woman He’s attracted to many other women, too He’s not attracted to her (Karen) She’s not attractive, period He’s unfaithful He’s lying He’s deliberately keeping secrets from her Real or not real? Timothy, in his situation, when he hears his girlfriend talking about how much she loves her car, makes several conclusions, too. He concludes that … She loves her car more than she loves him She thinks her car is better than his car She thinks he’s a loser because his car is a piece of junk She thinks he’s not successful in life He really isn’t as successful as he should be Other guys are way more successful than he is She’s deliberately mocking his car and him Real or not real? When we talk more in depth with Karen and Timothy, it quickly becomes clear that they don’t really know if any of these conclusions are real or not real. What IS real is that they themselves made up these conclusions based on the “evidence” at hand, which in each case was very skimpy evidence for such heavy conclusions. What IS real is that Karen saw an image of a woman on her husband’s Instagram. And what IS real that Timothy’s girlfriend said, “I really love my car”. Beyond those simple facts, everything else is a made-up conclusion that may or may not have any real basis. How do you tell the difference between reality and fantasy? One way is to simply ask yourself, like Peeta did, “Real or not real?” and sometimes it’ll be evident. For example, when Timothy realized he was concluding that his girlfriend was deliberately mocking him, he immediately said, “Not real, she’d never do that, that’s ridiculous”. (As you might know already, sometimes the stuff we conclude is flat-out ridiculous when we look at it). Secondly, you ask the other person(s) involved. In Karen’s instance, she wasn’t sure if her conclusions were real or not real, so we would recommend she ask her husband about it. A word of caution. When you ask your partner, or someone, if your conclusions or assumptions are real or not, try saying it this way. “Because I saw a picture of so-and-so on your Instagram, I’m making up that you’re attracted to her and you’re not attracted to me. Is there any grain of truth to that?” (“Is there any grain of truth to that” is another way to say, “real or not real?  DO NOT say, “You always have these skanks show up on your profile! Are you sleeping around with them, too!?” Don’t accuse before you know. By including the words, “I’m making up that ...”, you acknowledge that what you’re making up could be just that, purely made-up conclusions with no grounding in reality. When you ask directly, you might sometimes discover that some of your made-up conclusions do indeed have a solid basis. Sometimes your partner might say, “Yeah, there is a bit of truth to that”, which could open up some really juicy conversations, if you’re willing to go there. The main point we want to make here is that we all suffer from the predicament of making up sketchy conclusions based on skinny evidence. Often, our conclusions are detrimental to our own wellbeing and to the health of our relationships. When Timothy makes up that his girlfriend is telling him he’s not successful enough, it’s more a reflection of his own lifelong fear that he’s not successful enough, than it is her putting him down. In this case, she just loves her car, plain and simple. That’s it. The rest came straight from his “mind factory”  Don’t believe your own conclusions too readily. Especially the ones that make you feel like crap! The wonderful Byron Katie asks of her own thoughts: Is it true? Can I be absolutely certain it is true?  Questioning your own conclusions might just set you free from the occasional madness of your own mind, and open up more space for love in your relationships. Real or not real?

Series: Better TogetherSpeaker: Gail Moe Dwai Title: Offer Hospitality To One Another Key Passage: Romans 12:13Other passages: Hebrews 13:2, 1 Peter 4:9 Descriptions: Hospitality is not all about food. In Karen culture when it come to hospitality, we think of food only. Because we live in poverty, food is precious when someone offer the best meal to us before they have it themselves. Now we live in a country where we are not hungry for food, hospitality is no longer the fulfillment of material needs but a warm welcome, love and time for one another.
