Before the five talks, Karen shares why this work matters to her and makes one request: keep an open mind, and stay with her to the end.

Key ideas

  • “All injuries heal, and scars do not hurt.” (Dr. Howard Schubiner) Sprains, fractures, tears and infections heal in weeks or months.

  • Chronic pain and illness keep rising despite state-of-the-art care. One thing we’re missing is the role the brain plays in our health.

  • No practitioner can make chronic pain go away for you. Healing is a journey you take, with support.

  • Small, intentional changes cost nothing: how you manage your thoughts, how you move, what you eat.

  • Healing is generational. What you change today shapes your family’s health for decades.
