Karen Tyler

Karen, a wife and mother of a blended family of six, understands firsthand the power of transformation. Her awakening self-discovery identity journey made her realize her need to shift her thinking, change her behavior and to respond differently in her life after she began to explore the question, “Who Am I?” As she became stronger in her confidence, she made a courageous step and apologized to her children for the impact her faulty behavior, beliefs and actions that impacted them. Breaking free from confining historical, generational patterns, traditions and expectations of other people shaped who she was. Subsequently, she began to pass down flawed information. Karen’s decision to live authentically and unapologetically outside of restricting boxes placed on her from other people, allowed her to begin to heal, grow and evolve. With this, Karen began to become fulfilled as she lived a thriving life. She began to live in a healthy way of better communication, setting boundaries and making sound decisions not based on fear nor emotion. Karen then began to be intentional about the legacy she desired to pass to the next generation.

Karen’s lived experience of her own self-discovery journey, obtaining her master’s degree in Social Work, over 30 years of serving in the field of human services, social services, child welfare, and teaching at colleges within graduate and undergraduate Social Work programs, provides her insight and equips her and her team to empower and mobilize others along their life journey.

Karen, fulfills the role of an Certified Co-Active Professional Life Coach, an Educator and an Organization Development Specialist. She authored “Identity Reset: A Guide to Getting out of your Boxes,” as she shared her own life journey while providing self-discovery tools. Karen also contributed to a collaborative novel, “Let the Daughters Arise,” that shares nuggets of wisdom shared by women who decided to rise above their situations and circumstances to win! Her chapter focused on how she found her voice. She now uses this life transformative moment to help others to embrace their identity and find their voice.

Karen lives a fulfilled life as she maintains peace while spending time with family and friends. She remains balanced and centered while taking in Yoga and Pilates, and traveling. Other joys of her life are indulging in desserts, having fun with her jewelry, and handbags.
