024: Taking Control of Your Life & Following Your Dreams with Karen Smith

Mama Needs More

In today's episode, I'm joined by Karen Smith. Karen is the owner of Aunties Kitchen, an Indigenous business providing fresh, healthy and delicious catering services. After working for 25 years in the government, Karen decided it was time to stop working for someone else and instead, follow her dreams.
During the show, we talk about reconnecting to who you are by returning to what's important to you. Karen describes that without taking risks, you will never know the outcome and how a positive mindset gave her the courage to leap. We get into boundary setting, values, pushing through excuses and so much more!
