In this episode of Empowered Women Life Leaders, Karen speaks with inner peace specialist Meryl Hayton, who pivoted from a 28-year career as a successful salon owner into the healing arts.

This week on the Empowered Women Life Leaders podcast, Karen Bashford explores how to stop living on autopilot and start consciously leading your life.

If you’ve been giving everything to everyone else and feel drained, this episode will help you rediscover your needs, your peace, and your right to choose differently.

In this week’s episode of the Empowered Women Life Leaders podcast, Karen Bashford explores the most important relationship you’ll ever have: the one with yourself. Drawing on her own journey through nervous breakdown and recovery, Karen unpacks why so many women abandon their own needs, fall into people-pleasing, and struggle to set boundaries.

This week on Empowered Women Life Leaders, Karen Bashford is joined by financial well-being coach JD Rose, who shares how a chaotic childhood, financial instability, and a bipolar parent shaped her relationship with money, safety, and self-worth.

This powerful conversation invites listeners to pause, reflect on what they truly want from life, and open to possibilities beyond the choices they can currently see.
