What if you showed up as your imperfect self? In this week's episode host Debbie McAllister and her guest, Author of 101 Soul Seeds for Reinventing Yourself, Karen Salita discusses her journey of overcoming adversity and discuss how to empower your heart and soul on a transformative journey.

Karen Salita is a former competitive snowboarder who reinvented herself after injuries forced her to question her identity and her purpose in life. While exploring the early years of midlife, she became intrigued by the process of personal transformation and began her next reinvention as an author.

Karen writes about exploring one’s deep potential in her book, 101 Soul Seeds for Reinventing Yourself. In 2007, at just 30 years old, my body was already breaking down and I was beginning the long journey of chronic pain after a decade and a half of competitive snowboarding. Snowboarding had not only been my dream and my joy, it had also become my identity. And suddenly I didn’t know who I was anymore.

That was the beginning of her deep search for herself. As she uncovered layers of false beliefs and planted seeds for new ways of being, she began to show up in the world in new ways that increased her sense of optimism.

Over the years, as she entered midlife, she applied this process over and over, realizing that we're never done recreating and reinventing ourselves. Relationships, career, health, and aging are all dynamic processes that require us to reassess and pivot when needed. Every time we do this, we reinvent our relationship with ourselves and the world around us.

She feels it's her responsibility to share the wisdom she has gained with others who are on a similar path. She began writing her blog, called Follow Your Wiggle, in 2019, and published her book, 101 Soul Seeds for Reinventing Yourself, in September 2021.
