On this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, Karen shares how the murder of her husband before the age of 30 transformed her relationship with grief, intuition, healing, and self-trust. She reflects on how her body processed the experience before her brain could fully understand it, and how that darkness ultimately became a space of transformation and purpose. Together, we explore post-traumatic growth, subconscious processing, visualization, dreams, clairvoyance (clear vision), clairsentience (clear feeling), and the intelligence of the body. Karen also shares how learning to trust herself, follow intuitive guidance, and connect more deeply with her inner world helped shift the trajectory of her life and work. This conversation is a powerful reflection on how even the darkest experiences can crack us open, deepen our connection to ourselves, and lead us toward greater healing, alignment, and purpose.
