Welcome back to The Rebel Maker podcast. I have Karin Freeland with me today and we are talking about going through a midlife awakening, dropping out of corporate to pursue what fulfills you, and self-publishing two books.
After over 15 years in the corporate environment, Karin Freeland left to “Grab Life by the Dreams” and become an author and life coach. Today, she is an award-winning author of two books and a certified Life Reinvention Coach focused on helping professional women transform their lives, overcome fears, and achieve their dreams without sacrificing time with family and friends, their health, or self-care.
Tune in for a conversation that goes deep really quickly and shows the realness behind reinventing oneself.
