What would happen if you gave yourself permission to put yourself in the first position and prioritize yourself? Many deem the first position a place of selfishness. But it’s is really? When done correctly, it absolutely is not! What does that look like and how do you get there in a way that is sustainable and long-lasting?   

I sat down with Karen Casitlon to talk about her journey to prioritizing herself that started with these words: Now it’s your turn. In this beautiful conversation, Karen guides each of us through making shifts in our lives, finding our inner stillness and power, and leaning into the growth you’ve always been meant to find from the top of your priority list.

Key Takeaways:

01:58 Karen’s story and the birthday card that became words of inspiration: Now it’s your turn

05:06 How spirituality served a purpose for Karen and can be a guide for you, too

There are so many takeaways in this conversation. So many bright spots born from the hard, unthinkable challenges that many of us face. No matter what you’ve walked through or will, understanding there is still something in it for you that is positive is so necessary to remember.
