  • Karen McMullen had a very successful career in all the definitions of the word but was feeling quite drained and anxious. It was not until she had a Human Design reading that she discovered that these markers of success she achieved were nothing to do with her true trajectory in life. Once she started listening more on an energy level, she found herself saying no to everything that she has already created. This started her path into “The Grand Reorganization”.

    About the Guest: 

    Karen is a messenger who helps sensitive souls to have the strength to make the leap of faith, step into their power to serve the common good and transform what they know into 'right action.' She has channeled the books Alchemy of Consciousness and Awaken to your Starseed Mission. Prior to becoming a channel, Karen enjoyed a thriving speaking, coaching and workshop business. Gradually, she became burnt-out and depressed in her 'success.' She realized that the marketing and sales methods that she used to build her business were a subtle abuse of her powers to charm and influence. She became disillusioned with herself and the coaching industry and after a poignant Human Design reading, she began to reevaluate how she was using her lifeforce. Seeking enlightenment, she left her successful business in Canada behind and moved to Mexico. She embarked on a weird and wild inward adventure, including some major inner healing, becoming an avid salsa dancer and living on the side of a mountain like a monk. Years later, she was surprised one morning when a clear voice began to dictate text to her. Now she shares her channeled messages and Human Design through her YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/c/karenmcmullen

    Nefertiti San Miguel is an international mixed media artist, Ikebana practitioner, metalsmith and jewelry designer, performer, balloon twister, cultural diversity advocate and trailblazer. Nefertiti is the founder of Etnia Fusion and Aeolus Balloon Art. With a reputation for rocking her Gothic style with a hint of badassery, she currently resides in Boston (MA). Nefertiti chooses to find beauty and inner peace by cultivating and sharing her Ikebana skills, adorning her space for private enjoyment and brightening the life of many people regularly – both in person and virtually – as she is part of the creative team at a flower shop that specializes in exotic arrangements. Upon deep reflection of our current societal landscape with its challenges, implications, limitations and even scarcities, Nefertiti decided to refine her signature arts residencies and educational programs, adding neuroscience and psychoimmunology into the equation, along with some Japanese philosophy and Humanistic Buddhism. The result: a hybrid of healing arts and stress management tricks, tips and hacks for better living and a more Zen environment.
