My guest today is Karen Hewitt. Karen is a certified Life and NLP coach as well as a successful, multifaceted entrepreneur. She shares her story and her gifts in an empathic and authentic way to help others. Discovering real-life gifts where introverts have the most power, Karen teaches her clients how powerful, creative and successful you can be as an introvert, a woman, and a busy mom juggling it all! Karen's story takes her from almost losing her life to a man she thought was there to help her gain strength, leaving her with agoraphobia, PTSD, and anxiety where she became completely locked in her introverted world to becoming a true powerhouse in helping others stand true in their own gifts and strengths. As an empathic and compassionate speaker, she connects with introverted individuals that know that there is something more to what they are doing, but don’t know how they can impact or express themselves because of feeling shy, introverted, or even unworthy.
In this episode we talk about:
[3:00] Reflect on what worked and didn’t work in your previous year
[4:43] Splitting your goals into groups based on different aspects in your life
[7:30] A goal without a method is just an idea, not a goal

[29:30] Karen’s #1 tip when setting a goal
