    Living Beyond Survival: Getting Unstuck with Kim Santen

    Kim Santen was on her way home from a nursing shift when a head-on collision changed the trajectory of her life. What began as a traumatic brain injury — one that left her head shaking uncontrollably and sent her into months of isolation — became the catalyst for confronting how survival patterns from childhood had been quietly steering her choices for years. Now an intuitive transformation coach, Kim shares how the accident led her to discover art, authenticity, and a completely different path forward. This conversation explores why so many of us continue operating in survival mode as adults, how the language we use shapes what we believe is possible, and what it really means to choose yourself — not as an act of selfishness, but as a return to truth. If you've ever felt stuck, on the fence, or trapped by expectations, this one’s for you. Follow Right Wrong Turns on ⁠⁠Substack⁠ Kim’s Links: Art N' Soul Connection Website Instagram Facebook

It's been about noticing when something no longer fit and adjusting course without framing those moments as failure. This conversation explores what it means to outgrow a choice, trust your gut when something stops working, and recognize how small, intentional redirections can add up to meaningful change.

    Right Wrong Turns: Finding Direction in Life’s Detours is a podcast about how unplanned twists and setbacks can point us toward truer direction when we're willing to learn from them. Through candid conversations and personal stories, host Jen Morales explores how missteps in work, relationships, and life can become guideposts back to purpose and alignment. A musician turned lawyer turned entrepreneur, Jen draws on her own winding path and the experiences of her guests to uncover the wisdom hidden in seemingly wrong turns. Each episode makes insights seldom shared openly accessible to all of us, so we can navigate our own detours with greater self-awareness and move closer to lives that feel authentically ours. Inspired by Maya Angelou’s words—“Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better"—Right Wrong Turns reminds us that life’s side roads can lead us toward clarity. And by sharing what we learn along the way, we help light the path for others.
