Are you curious why someone would become a life coach? Everyone's path is different. Here's what mine looked like.
From a bachelor's degree in Economics to life coach. Not really a career path that makes immediate sense. Connect with me on LinkedIn and let's talk about career leaps that seem way out of bounds are actually in total alignment with purpose.

Authenticity is not as easy as "just be yourself". It can be hard to pinpoint or nail down. When you experience authenticity at play though, that's undeniable.
Over the last 3 years, I've developed a proven framework of Authenticity that I call "The Muse's Journey". It's for the muse who wants to do it her/his/their own way. It's a starting point of creating a way that works for you. Think of 5 A's.

Do you play with the stars and planets, archetypes and symbols, personalities and psychology?
I've loved Astrology since I was a pre-teen. Secretly reading the horoscopes of my friend's mom's Cosmopolitan magazines. Since then, my interest and knowledge of Astrology has deepened.
It's so much fun and I just want to share that with you here.

Authenticity has become one of the buzziest of buzz words. Yet it means so much more than a trend. That thought both delights and worries me!
In this episode, I hope to prevent our beloved "authenticity" from becoming a meaningless word. I share what authenticity means to great thinkers and artists, the dictionary, the etymology, and we pull it all together to create meaning for ourselves.
After all, nothing has meaning until we make it mean something.
So what does authenticity mean to you? Tell me in the DMs on Instagram @karenchoi.co. -

You want to show up confident without being too egotistical. Does that conundrum sound familiar? Because so many of us are encouraged, if not threatened to stay small and meek. Don't let your head get too big. The higher you climb, the harder you fall. Gosh, we're afraid to be confident. And that actually leads to us showing up with a lot of ego.
Listen to this episode for my take on the differences, how to spot when you're in which zone, and what to do to bring you back to confidence. Plus there's a dog analogy for the dog lovers.
