  • Ep 28 - Ask Better Questions
    Jan 21 2026

    Most people think the quality of their life depends on their job, their car, or their relationships. But what if it actually depends on something far simpler, and far more powerful? The questions you ask.

    In this episode, Karen dives into how the quality of your questions directly shapes the quality of your life. From the seemingly small: "How can I get a job?", to the life-changing "How can I create a life that excites me?".
    Karen shares how reframing the questions you ask yourself can completely change your perspective, your results, and your growth.

    Drawing inspiration from Leila Hormozi's decision-making process, Karen unpacks the power of asking "What would my life look like if I made this choice every day?", and how this simple mental shift can transform your habits, mindset, and outcomes.

    If you're ready to move from "Why is this happening to me?" to "What can I learn from this?", this episode will show you how curiosity and better questions unlock self-awareness, stronger relationships, and real transformation.

    ✨ Plus, Karen shares a free bonus guide: Ask It Differently: 10 Questions That Hit Harder designed to help you reframe your thinking and start asking the kind of questions that lead to breakthroughs.

    🎧 Listen now and start asking better questions; because the right question, asked at the right time, can change everything.

  • Ep 27 - Embrace the Serendipity - Kismet - Destiny - Fate
    Jan 14 2026

    Sometimes the biggest turning points in life don't come from strategy, they come from sheer serendipity.

    In this episode, I'm diving into the magic (and science) of fate, those strange, unexpected moments that reroute your entire life when you least expect it. From the date that took me from Adelaide to Darwin, to the argument that led me to quit my job and move from the UK to Australia, to the random introduction that became a twenty-year friendship, I've learnt that life's detours often lead to the best destinations.

    But this isn't all woo-woo. Modern psychology, neuroscience, and even career theory back it up: when you're self-aware and open to new experiences, your brain literally starts spotting more opportunities. That's not magic: that's neuroplasticity in action.

    So if you're in the middle of a plot twist right now, this episode will help you see it differently. Maybe the question isn't "Why is this happening?" but "What could this be making space for?"

    And if you want to go deeper, grab my free guide Ask It Differently: 10 Questions That Hit Harder at transformation28.com/questions because sometimes, the right question at the right time can change everything.

  • Ep 26 - Persistence Pays
    Jan 7 2026

    Persistence isn't glamorous, but it's the reason every success story exists.

    In this episode, I talk about the one skill that underpins everything: persistence. The ability to keep going, keep learning, and keep believing: even when life gives you a thousand reasons to quit.

    I share my own story of persistence; from restarting my engineering degree in my 30s (after talking myself out of it once) to building my career, businesses, and discipline brick by brick. I also dive into the powerful examples of people who turned "no" into "not yet":

    • J.K. Rowling, rejected by 12 publishers before creating a global phenomenon.

    • Sylvester Stallone, who heard "no" 150 times before Rocky hit the big screen.

    • Sara Blakely, who turned $5,000 and a mountain of rejections into the billion-dollar Spanx empire.

    • Nick Vujicic, born without limbs, now inspiring millions worldwide.

    • Vera Wang, Michael Jordan, and even Albert Einstein: all proof that persistence is the ultimate equaliser.

    Persistence doesn't mean perfection. It means showing up, again and again, no matter how many times you fall.
    Because you can be average at almost everything; but if you're persistent, you'll still win.

    If you've been doubting yourself, or thinking you're "too late" or "not ready," this episode will reignite your fire.

    Listen in, and remember: Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

    Take your first step toward unstoppable persistence: start with clarity.

  • Ep 24 - Taking Responsibility
    Oct 24 2023
    Choosing to blame others as the response to a situation, means that you are degrading yourself. You see, when we continuously blame others it can reinforce a negative self-image. It suggests that we view ourselves as a victim rather than someone who is in control of their life and who has the ability and power to make choices. Blaming others can serve as a way to avoid facing uncomfortable truths about ourselves and our actions. It can be a form of escapism that hinders personal development. So if you constantly hear yourself saying things like, "it's not my fault", then you may be suffering a lack of personal responsibility - also known as blaming others. By doing this you are distancing yourself from your problems, allowing yourself to play the victim and worst of all, keeping yourself stuck. Responsibility requires us to meet our obligations and fulfill our duties. At some point in our lives we all engage in blame, especially when faced with challenging situations. However, if blaming others becomes a chronic pattern in our behaviour and negatively impacts our life, then that needs to change, or we're destined to keep repeating the same mistakes, and giving away our power. Taking responsibility for our actions and choices is a powerful and crucial step towards personal growth and well-being. ------------- If you're ready to change your life, then check out my new course Transformation 28 - where we take 28 days to work together and transform your mindset and your life.

  • Ep 23 - Managing Your Mind
    Oct 12 2023
    If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that managing your thoughts is the ultimate game-changer for life, for business, for relationships… Seriously, it's like having the control panel of your mind right there in your hands. Because here's the truth: if you're not actively taking charge of your thoughts, then they are taking charge of you. And let me tell you, that's a slippery slope to feeling fed up, out of control and disconnected from the life that you truly desire. Picture this: every thought you entertain is like a seed you plant in the garden of your mind. And those thoughts? They determine what grows in your life. It's a simple equation: our thoughts shape our reality. They mould who you are, what you do, and what you can achieve, and they also control how you feel. So, in the words of Henry Ford: whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right. But here's the kicker: most of us let our thoughts run wild on autopilot, and guess what? The default setting tends to be negative. Trust me, I've been there - in my 20s, I had no clue about the power of managing my thoughts. It was like being caught in a whirlwind, with thoughts just happening to me, leaving me feeling lost and unfulfilled. Goals? I didn't even know what they were at that time. But let me tell you, all of that changed when I learnt about the tremendous power of managing your thoughts. Nowadays, my conscious mind is on a mission of optimism and productivity. I've got a toolbox full of affirmations, visualisations, and positive thoughts that I use every single day. It's not always smooth sailing, though. Random thoughts still pop into my head, and I'm sure you can relate. ------------- If you're ready to change your life, then check out my new course Transformation 28 - where we take 28 days to work together and transform your mindset and your life.

  • Ep 22 - The Discipline Identity
    Oct 3 2023
    Woody Allen said, "The only thing standing between greatness and me, is me." We all have excuses - in fact I am the queen of excuses. Didn't go to the gym? I needed the lie in. Didn't do that networking event? I had to stay in and catch up on some programs. Ate too much? I was 'treating myself' (for the 6th day this week)   Forget about motivation- there is only one thing that is going to get you to your goals and that's discipline.   Contrary to popular opinion: Discipline is in fact freedom.   In the words of Jim Rohn "Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments."   The best version of you is the disciplined version of you, it's the version that does the things you don't feel like doing regardless of how you feel in the moment.   Discipline doesn't hit snooze, discipline is never too tired, discipline doesn't skip workouts, discipline measures progress, discipline shows up, discipline keeps its commitments, discipline is persistent and unbeatable.   When we hear the word 'discipline' it may conjure up images of soldiers and drill sergeants, many people mistakenly think that discipline is an unyielding force that crushes spontaneity or drains the joy out of life. But in reality, it's more like an empowering compass that guides us towards our aspirations.   Discipline allows us to shape our days intentionally. It's not about rigidly adhering to a set of rules; rather, it's a tool that helps us make conscious choices that are aligned with our goals. ------------- If you're ready to change your life, then check out my new course Transformation 28 - where we take 28 days to work together and transform your mindset and your life.

  • Ep 21 - The Comfort Zone Fallacy
    Sep 4 2023
    It's funny how we often wrap ourselves in the warm, cozy blanket of our comfort zones, believing that it's our safe haven. But what if I told you that what you perceive as a comfort zone is actually just a cunning mirage and doesn't really exist? What am I talking about? Well, I've been banging on about how we must get out of our 'comfort zones' for years.   Yes, my friends, the so-called "comfort zone" is nothing more than an attachment to familiarity that's keeping us stuck.   When I was 14 I went into the first year of my GCSEs - General Certificate of Secondary Education - these are 2 year courses in the UK that all school kids do between the ages of 14 and 16. You have to do mandatory subjects like English, Maths, Science, etc.   I remember walking into my favourite Biology teachers class and she said something that blew my mind, she said: "I want you to forget everything we've taught you up until now, that was all a lie".   WHAT? Our teachers had been lying?   Not quite. Our teacher went on to explain that basically they had over simplified their teachings until now, and that we needed to forget all of that because they were going to give us the 'warts and all' version. ---------- If you're ready to change your life, then check out my new course Transformation 28 - where we take 28 days to work together and transform your mindset and your life.
