Karen Wright's Method to Transforming Stress into Mindfulness
When the weight of the world seemed insurmountable, Karen Wright unearthed a mantra that turned her life around. We sit down with the founder of Pause, Breathe, Proceed to discuss her journey from the brink of burnout in a demanding corporate career to discovering a life of intention and wellness. Her compelling story unfolds as we explore the powerful shifts that massage school, Reiki, and yoga instruction brought into her life, and the persistence of stress that challenged her until a moment of clarity brought forth her simple, yet profound, method. Karen's approach to halting stress and enhancing emotional intelligence with these three words unveils a path to a more mindful existence. Our conversation also shines a light on the emblem of her philosophy, the Pause, Breathe, Proceed logo, which stands as a beacon for those seeking to incorporate mindfulness into their everyday routine.
Amidst a life filled with roles and responsibilities, I share my candid account of integrating the 'pause, breathe, proceed' philosophy into my narrative, finding balance and harmony in what was once a hectic existence. We examine the transformative nature of daily practices such as journaling, affirmations, and meditation, and their role in fostering confidence and tranquility.
My mission is to bring back "kind" in "humankind" said Karen a few times during our interview
As Karen and I discuss, the ripples from these practices extend far beyond the individual, touching lives through partnerships with nonprofits dedicated to mental health and suicide prevention, demonstrating the profound impact of small, consistent acts of mindfulness on both personal growth and the betterment of society.
Karen Wright's bio
Karen did everything she was supposed to do growing up until she realized she wasn't living her life. She left a six-figure corporate salary to become a massage therapist, yoga instructor, and reiki master. She set out to find the solution to stress and she did. Pause Breathe Proceed reduces stress which instills calm to make choices to live the life YOU want. It is mindfulness and emotional intelligence in action.

From Emotional Turmoil to Unapologetic Freedom with Kaitie Entrikin
Kaitie Entrikin's courage in sharing her raw and transformative journey struck a deep chord within me, much like it will with you. From the depths of emotional eating and the grip of an abusive marriage, Kaitie's path of healing and self-discovery serves as a beacon of hope. In our heartfelt conversation, she offers a candid look into the scars left by diet culture and the relentless pursuit of self-worth. Her evolution into a Neuro-transformational Coach and founder of Beautiful Beast Within Studios as a career shift is, in fact, a movement towards unapologetically embracing our inner strengths and imperfections.
During this episode, we navigate the intricate dance between health, fitness, and the soul's yearning for true connection. Kaitie's philosophy on intuitive eating and her mission to replace self-loathing with self-care echo throughout the episode, resonating with anyone who's ever struggled to find balance. The personal anecdotes from her podcast 'Unveiling the Beast' are interwoven with insights into the transformative power of music, storytelling, and the human voice. As Kaitie extends her hand to anyone ready to embark on their own journey of transformation through her coaching and community, we're reminded of the profound impact that empathy, authenticity, and a shared narrative can have in our lives.
Kaitie's bio
Kaitie is a mom to an amazing and brilliant 6-year-old boy. She is a life coach who works with people who have a history of disordered eating and exercise behaviors. Kaitie has been in the health and fitness industry for 15 + years. Before getting certified as a Personal Trainer and Fitness Nutrition Specialist, she took everything she heard and learned from the diet industry and believed it. She discovered there is a disconnect between mind and body with so many people who just want to be healthy and are confused by all the messages and rules that come with each diet. She helps people get back to their roots by helping them unlearn all these rules by listening to their bodies, paying attention to their behaviors, and throwing their scale away.

Part 2 of this mother-daughter series
Christa Barone's Miraculous Story of a Victorious Fight Against Childhood Cancer With Her Family
When hope seems like a distant flicker, stories like Christa Barone's reignite the flame. At age 3, Christa was handed a survival chance of a small 3%, yet here she is, 28 years old, happy and thriving, completely healthy, and a beacon of light, celebrating 25 years free of stage 4 neuroblastoma type of cancer.
Our conversation peels back layers of her childhood marked by an exceptional joy for hospital visits, a testament to the nurturing cocoon weaved by her family and medical caregivers. Christa's story is a mosaic of misdiagnoses, a mother's intuition sharper than any clinical guesswork, and an experimental therapy that carved her path to remission with a 3% chance of surviving. I'm grateful that they heard this very slim ratio after she was saved from this cancer. Her reflection on these early battles reveals the power of perspective – the ability to see divine orchestration in life's toughest challenges.
Transitioning from her journey through cancer to the profound epiphanies about her life's mission and purpose, Christa shares the inception of Wicked Wisdom Consulting. Here, she harnesses her story to light the way for others, guiding coaches and businesses in sculpting their operational blueprints. Christa's story is a reminder of the transformative potential that we all have within us, and that gets to be revealed through adversity, ready to become stepping stones for our growth.
We honor her commitment to being a guiding light, alongside a heartfelt birthday tribute to her mother, Michelle Barone, whose insights add rich layers to this episode, and that was published just before this episode, on April 3rd, 2024.
Together, their shared wisdom is an invitation to celebrate the impact of positive influence and the joy of helping others find their way in the professional and personal landscapes of their lives.
Listen to Michelle Barone, Christa's mother, recounting this miraculous story of a 3-year-old smart girl fighting for her life with terminal cancer: https://www.realtalk-realwomen.com/e/the-promise-that-saved-michelle-barone-baby-girls-life/
