Tim Salmans sits down with Teri Karjala, business success therapist, coach, author, and entrepreneur, for a wide-ranging conversation about fulfillment, personal growth, intuition, manifestation, and learning to trust the journey. Teri shares how difficult experiences, including what she calls her “dark night of the soul,” helped her stop trying to control every outcome and become more open to what life was showing her.

They explore the difference between asking “Why is this happening to me?” and approaching challenges with curiosity, how our thoughts can reinforce either limiting or empowering patterns, and why focusing on possibilities can change the way we move through life. Terri also shares practical exercises, including her 33-second practice, generative questions, gratitude, and using movement to shift your energy.
