Create Your Life!
Creative Life Coaching For Those Who Want To Do the Things That Truly Matter!
Does any of the following sound like you?
You have an idea or once had an idea for your life that you haven’t been able to make a reality.
You long to achieve things you see other people achieving and are scared you might not ever get there.
You are tired of waiting for things to work out for you and want to feel more confident in your ability to make things happen.
Know this: You are plenty strong enough, creative enough, intelligent enough, and absolutely worthy of all that you want!
You simply have to find YOUR way of making things a reality. You have to activate your Inner Artist to create the masterpiece only you can create!
You don’t have to identify as an artist or have any artistic skills. I will show you how EVERYONE has an INNER Artist who wants to come out to play and bring what you imagine into the world!
You ARE NOT Alone.
Once upon a time, I sat across from a mentor exhausted and confused about how much of my life could feel so bad despite trying so hard to make it good.
It was then that he asked me a pivotal question: “What would happen if you approached your whole life in the same way you approach making art?”
DING! DING! DING!
The way I make art?! That means in the way that I get inspired, in the way I like to play with things, in the way I see the world, and in the way that feels good and enjoyable to ME.
At that moment I realized I already had inside of me the POWER to CREATE the things I imagined when I EMBRACE THE ARTIST THAT I AM in all areas of my life!
And the power is inside of you!
You can be the ARTIST OF YOUR LIFE!
“ Karen's coaching style is open-minded and gentle, yet straightforward and effective. I worked with her for a year and a half, and my life is completely different now! Thanks to Karen's encouragement and super-practical toolkit, I'm now self-employed and paying all the bills doing what I want to do. Karen is insightful, genuine, and caring. If you work with Karen, too, you won't be disappointed. You'll walk away with better life skills, more in touch with yourself, and with a clearer direction toward your desires.”
Why Is It So Hard To Make Our Dreams Come True?
Do any of these lies sound familiar?
→ There is a RIGHT way to do things.
→ To be successful, you must follow a logical, linear, proven path.
→ You must take care of all your obligations before doing things you enjoy.
→ Dreamers are not practical or realistic.
→ Only certain types of people are creative.
We believe these untruths because they are often told to us by good people with good intentions. They are not trying to lie. They believe them too. They fear all the bad things that could happen and they want us to be safe and successful. Our society reinforces these ideas again and again.
We sense the fear and we think that there must be something awful to fear. We want to be safe and good and responsible and successful too. However, many of us achieve becoming safe, good, responsible, and successful according to these outer standards only to find that it feels shockingly empty - only to find that we have given up parts of ourselves we once held dear.
Inviting your Inner Artist to take the lead
is about reconnecting to YOU -
finding your vision, your voice -
your POWER to CREATE YOUR LIFE.
HowDoodle We Do It?
We get curious together.
Contrary to popular belief, questions are more important than answers! The questions inspire us to seek and journey and discover. We will find the questions in your heart and on your mind that help you to play your way into the answers that feel right to you.
We practice mindfulness together.
Taking moments of pause to breathe, to connect to your body, to clear out your mind, and to look into your heart is integral to the work. We will find the mindfulness practices that help you to transition from the busy-ness, return to yourself, and invigorate your creative process.
We doodle together.
Artist or not, doodling is something anyone can do to awaken the creative parts of ourselves. It relaxes and reveals insight and ideas. Furthermore, each time you make a doodle, you PRACTICE the creative process you can use to make anything a reality! (Read more about Why Doodles here.)
We look deeper together.
I will show you how to look at your doodles in new ways and ask you questions inspired by what you created. You will begin to see parts of yourself that have been hidden and see ideas you didn’t even know you had! Each time you will deepen your relationship with yourself which leads to greater clarity about what you want and greater conviction to go after it.
We create strategies for you.
The phrases “artist’s block” or “writer’s block” exist because there are always blocks in the creative process. Our visions compel us to face the uncomfortable and take risks. Everyone needs to create strategies to grow through those challenges. I not only have years of experience as a Creative Coach, but also as an Executive Function coach and can help with practical solutions as well.
You play and practice and experiment with my support.
By the end of each session, inspired actions will arise. Between sessions, I will be available via Voxer to support you as challenges arise and celebrate with you when you experience a win or ah-ha! Voxer is a great communication app and this support allows you to process and share things as they arise for you. I will respond at least once a day Monday-Thursday.

“Working with Karen was life-changing! It provided me with motivation, accountability & more importantly confidence. I found my true artistic voice through this process. I found the confidence to ask a friend to be my business partner and we are soon launching with a wholesale retailer... the confidence to see myself through the doodle exercises - there were a lot more sparkles & glitter there than even I was aware of, haha! ”
I look forward to creating with you soon!
