Have you ever secretly wondered what life would look and feel like If you were doing life the way you wanted to be doing it?
Have you ever convinced yourself that you “should” be grateful? And you “shouldn’t” want or need more than what you have today?
Are you secretly working on an idea or working a side hustle, and you feel stuck about what to do next?
Maybe you are an entrepreneur who plays safe because you do not willing to fail.
Or maybe you are already successful in doing something you are great at. However, something feels off because you are disconnected from what you care about.
Five years ago, I was secretly aching for the time and space to consider what was next for me. I was coming to the end of a caregiving journey after a long corporate career counseling. In addition, I was dreading going back to work. Something felt disconnected in my heart and my head. However, I could not quite find the spark that – at that point in my life – I needed to feel energized and alive in my life and work.
If that is you, then we have a lot in common.
I spent more than 20 years doing work I was good at – and all the while, I was envying women on online coaching social media and magazine covers doing things that fascinated me and seemed to fulfill them.
It took one question from a trusted friend for me to discover that I had much more Options than I realized. Moreover, here is the good news for you, Beloved – you do too.
It never occurred to me that I had any options.
1. Discover the value of their own story – all of it. 2. Re (define) productivity and progress on their terms. 3. Discover their personal and professional options. 4. Learn how to shift from fear to curiosity to lead as a way of life.
Coming out of my caregiving journey, I realized that my value, worth, and even identity were wrapped up in my title and salary.
And it took a humbling moment to get my attention.
A close friend invited me to a networking event shortly after I resigned from my dream job to care for my mother.
She could see I was struggling with feeling overwhelmed and isolated. I think she thought an industry event would perk me up.
They call me Coach Karen. I am Founder and Chief Vision-Caster for Rock Your Vision.

Neither of us could have anticipated how frozen I would feel as people asked me, “So, what do you do for a living?”
I stumbled through several awkward conversations. Then retreated into my introverted bubble and excused myself for the evening.
I cried my eyes out when I got in the car to go home, realizing that my beloved mother/best friend was in the stage of dying…and waiting for me (and all of the things that went along with that) at home.
You see, the morning after that networking event, it hit me: I had a choice. I could let grief overwhelms me and keep my feelings afraid and unsure of myself. On the other hand, I could lean into my storm to steady myself and repurpose what I was experiencing.
I couldn't change what I was experiencing, but I could change my response to it.
The crushing loss of my mother blurred my senses and blinded me to the life I had in front of me that I knew Mom would want me to live.
My mother is in Heaven now, but that fateful challenging night would be one of the catalysts for what an entire community now knows as Rock Your Vision.
I've taken the lessons I've learned and designed programs, tools, resources and a community to help you Build a Vision You Love.
Here’s the reality – you have more options than you realize. If that excites you, then Rock Your Vision is the community for YOU!
Every community member is different from the next. What we share is an unrelenting belief that we have something to do and something to contribute.
We are ready to explore what’s in our heads and hearts, and even if we don’t know the right next step, we can’t accept the idea of making a difference.
So, let me ask you a question….
What would it take for you to Rock Your Vision?
Who or what would you be if you had support?
If you slowed down what would you consider?
RYV events and experiences are designed to provide practical insights, strategies and information because we know our community members thrive when they are empowered to personalize what they discover.
So whether you just need a kickstart to the year, or you need support throughout the year, Rock Your Vision is that Angel on your shoulder reminding you that “You’ve got this!”
And in case you’ve not heard me say this (and you’ll hear me say this a lot)…”You’ve got more options than you realize.”
