How I Turned Tragedy Into Purpose And Started My Business, The Grief Consultant
The reason for her purpose, her WHY, her mission – began three years ago. Three years ago Karen Millsap’s husband was murdered.
In our Dear Rockstar conversation she shares her story. A story of becoming a young widow, a single mother overnight. A story of staying in bed all day to forcing herself to get up not give up. A story of grief and rebellion. A story of faith and inspiration. With tears in her eyes and loss in her voice, Karen shares the raw moments of her journey in an effort to inspire each of us as we wrestle with our own losses.
Karen’s story is a reminder- we might not be able to control life but we are always free to choose- choose how we will respond, what we will choose to believe about what has happened and what our next move will be.
