Customer Reviews
I never miss an episode
This podcast has been a part of my week for nearly a year now. Karen brings content that causes me to reflect on how the info applies to me and by applying the principles she discusses I find a new awareness in my life. Thank you Karen for sharing!!!
Thank you

Unpretentious wisdom
Dr. Wyatt’s compassionate grasp of the challenges of living and dying make these podcasts a powerful aid in dealing with any situation you may be experiencing. They’re deceptively simple and direct, which makes her messages all the more penetrating. It’s like listening to a kind and intelligent friend. Highly recommend.
