Imagine waking up one morning completely unable to move... and now, choosing to defy conventional medical treatments in favor of a holistic path to healing.

She talks about the influence of notable healers and teachers, such as Dr. Doug Lehrer, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and Louise Hay among others, the power of affirmations, and the impact of ancestral memories on our beliefs and experiences.
The revelation of her name resonance "Haleh" with "hallelujah!" and its symbolism of light and divinity is a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing one's identity.

A New Way of Mindful Living in our Fast-Paced Society with Karen Wright
Escaping the relentless grip of corporate America's high-stress environment felt like a far-off dream until Karen Wright's mantra, Pause, Breathe, Proceed, became my personal beacon of hope. It was through her inspiring journey, which she generously shares in our heartfelt conversation, that the true essence of being present unfolded before my eyes.
Embark on a profound exploration with us, as Karen divulges how a seemingly simple approach can yield monumental shifts within our hectic lives. Her story is one of courage and transformation, teaching us that the power to manage stress and cultivate emotional intelligence lies in the palm of our hands—or more accurately, in the pause between our breaths. The ripples of her message extend far beyond personal well-being, offering a compassionate lens through which to view our interactions with the world.
Then, prepare to be uplifted by the realization that personal empowerment can spring from the most fundamental practices. As your host, Gemma Serenity Gorokhoff, I'll share how keeping victory, gratitude, and affirmation books can anchor your life in positivity and purpose, even amidst the tumult of change. We'll explore the transformative potential of integrating mindful pauses into your daily rituals, enhancing not just your self-awareness but also your choices —prompting kindness to prevail over anger. Our discourse will illuminate how these small, intentional acts can spark an inner revolution, with the possibility of igniting societal transformation. Together with Karen, we'll highlight collaborations with mental wellness initiatives, underscoring the accessibility of our methods to nourish both individual and community vitality. Open your heart to the power of pause and discover the serene strength it can bring to your life's narrative.
Karen Wright's bio
Karen did everything she was supposed to do growing up until she realized she wasn't living her life. She left a six-figure corporate salary to become a massage therapist, yoga instructor, and Reiki master. She set out to find the solution to stress and she did. Pause Breathe Proceed reduces stress which instills calm to make choices to live the life YOU want. It is mindfulness and emotional intelligence in action.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Todd Zimmermann, the imaginative force behind "Oliver the Ornament," a collection of 7 books that started from a sweet moment of holiday decorating and evolved into an inspiring tale that celebrates inclusion and the beauty of imperfection.
Todd took us through his heartwarming journey, from the spark of inspiration to the joyous reading event at a children's hospital, officiated by the First Lady. The charming tales of Oliver, an ornament with a broken arm, resonate with anyone who's ever felt a bit out of place, teaching us resilience and the value of embracing our uniqueness.
The conversation with Todd Zimmermann warms our hearts as it reminds us of the timeless magic that the Christmas season holds. Oliver, the protagonist with his characteristic sling, has inspired countless children to find strength in their differences, proving to be a hero in every installment of the series. As Todd shared insights into creating these enchanting stories, we learned about a movement that reaches beyond the pages to touch lives as it counteracts bullying.
The upcoming 7th and last book of the series will be released in October 2024, paired with a hand-painted ornament from the series to adorn your Christmas tree. It promises to be a fitting tribute to this tradition of storytelling that unites us in the spirit of the holidays. You can pre-order it today!
Join us and let the tales of Oliver and his friends rekindle your love for Christmas, no matter the season.
