Who is Karen Chaston?
|
Karen Chaston: The Co-Founder of Live Love By Design. Author. International Speaker. Online TV Host. Radio Host, CPA and former Chief Financial Officer of a Publicly Listed Company.
Karen ran on the corporate treadmill until the day the world came tumbling down on her head. The constant effort of juggling work, family, the big house and cars, and the stress created by all that was taking its toll on her even before tragedy struck when her son Dan (27), suddenly and very unexpectedly died in July 2011.
Initially, Karen went straight back to work. She knew how to be a CFO, she did not know nor did she want to be a grieving mother. As Dan's passing was meant to be her wake up call, she had to experience another loss in order for her to wake up from what she likes to call, her 'groundhog day daze.' This came in the form of her being made redundant 15 months later, when her company merged with another.
Karen very quickly realised that all the suffering and disappointments were given to her to serve her and she took the next step to examine her life and accept its imperfections and learn from them.
That was when she took her real first conscious breath. You know the one. Where you breathe deep into your belly, whilst asking yourself some really thought provoking questions.
Questions like ~ Why did this happen to me? Who am I? Where am I going? Do I even like who I've become? What is my life all about? Why have you created so many unhealthy habits? What am I meant to learn? What will bring me joy, passion and meaning to my life?
Over the next six plus years, Karen took many roads along her life-university' path to gain the awareness, newfound perspective, wisdom and connections so that she could become the person who would be able to do what she is driven to do now ~ A life-coach who assists grieving people to heal, be restored and to bring the joy back into their life. ~
Their Live Love Dream Life: Beyond the Loss of a Loved One.
Along with Dan's assistance from the other side she has co-founded Live Love By Design. They have founded it together and Karen has even credited him as being the co-author of the Live Love By Design book. Dan shows her signs every day that he’s travelling with her. He continually shows up in photos (as does her Dad) and she is grateful that he has her back.
Karen’s (and Dan's) passion is to assist the world to be comfortable with not only their inevitable death, though with every one of their loved ones who have left this amazing planet before them.
This starts with assisting you to see that your loved ones are still travelling with you, sure not physically though in every other way. And the best way you can honour and celebrate them is to Live and Love Your Life, Love Who You Are. Make All Your Dreams Reality.
Karen makes this all happen through various ways ~ the Live Love By Design on and offline programs, book, TV show, radio show, podcast, retreats and fb group.
