Welcome to the Circle Women Leaders Podcast hosted by Karen Barno. In this episode, Karen talks about the financial cost of having a shadow and how it can greatly impact our lives in a negative way. Shadows are the parts of ourselves that we keep hidden, and they hold us back from reaching our full potential. Karen shares a personal story of attending an event where she discovered a major shadow that had been affecting her life without her even realizing it.

This shadow made her feel small and prevented her from fully expressing herself and achieving her goals. It was a revelation that saddened her, as she realized all the missed opportunities it had caused. Shadows can be big or small, but they all have a similar effect of keeping us from being our best selves.

Karen emphasizes the importance of healing these shadows and rewriting our legacies. She wants to help millions of women who aspire to make a profound impact in the world by overcoming their shadows. By facing and resolving these hidden parts of ourselves, we can step into our true potential and make a difference.

Karen encourages listeners to reflect on areas of their lives where they feel they’re holding back or not reaching their full potential. Shadows can come from experiences in our past, like negative interactions with teachers or family members. They can make us doubt ourselves and shrink in the presence of certain people or situations.

Karen invites her audience to join her in the journey of shadow healing. She offers a course and coaching to support women in uncovering and healing their shadows. By doing this work, we can break free from limitations, play a bigger game, and have a positive impact on the world.

If you have questions or want guidance on healing your shadows, Karen is available on various platforms like YouTube and LinkedIn. Her ultimate goal is to help one million women heal their shadows and embrace their true potential. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together and discover our own “blue rose” moments.
