Episode 1: An Introduction & Intention for the Podcast from host Karen Pawley
In the inaugural episode of the Free to be Me Podcast, I, Karen Pawley introduce the essence of the show and my vision for sharing women's stories. As a South African born holistic health and wellness coach now residing in the Bay Area of California, I aim to explore the multifaceted life experiences of women, embracing both their struggles and their triumphs. With a personal history steeped in a love for stories and reading, I believe that conversations can weave a rich tapestry of perspectives, and this belief serves as the foundation for this podcast. The podcast promises to cover a wide range of topics, and while this episode is me, alone, all future episodes will include various guests. The central theme revolves around the inward journey to self-discovery, self-love, and the holistic integration of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. My mission is to inspire listeners to look for answers within and to nurture a deeper connection with themselves, offering stories as inspiration for a healthier, freer life.
