Today, we’d like to introduce you to Karen Blucher. Karen was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Octoryia Robinson.
Hi Karen, we’re so thrilled to have you sharing your story with us today. Maybe we can kick things off by having you introduce yourself to our readers? We’d love to have you go into your story and how you got to where you are today.
As women, so much is expected of us as Christians, and the weight is even more to bear. We are expected to have it together at all times, so we find ourselves living in a pretentious state of well-being just to fit in. No matter what we are facing behind closed doors. A few years ago, I found myself in that very place. I was broken, hopeless, and ashamed. Hiding from the world, and if I had to go beyond the four walls of my home, I would hide behind a mask, one in the form of makeup and a huge smile. I pretended that I was all together while deep down inside, there was so much hurt and disappointment that was destroying me from the inside out. It was not until I decided to turn my focus back to God and who He says that I am, instead of how I was feeling was I able to begin my journey to healing. I had to consciously make that decision to begin my journey to healing. As a result of this experience and on the part of the healing, I found my purpose in life and wrote my first book “Finding Your Way Back”. I realized that there were so many women that were probably suffering silently from whatever situation they might have found themselves in. I vowed that I would do all that I can to be that rope that’s thrown to a person who finds themselves drowning. To remind women of their strength and value. Giving them hope and helping them find their way back to whom they were created to be.
Let’s talk about your work and career – what else should we know?
I am a certified Transformational Coach and an Inspirational, Motivational, and Women Empowerment Speaker. I find pleasure in motivating, uplifting, and encouraging others. My ability to inspire women, which is a God-given gift through wisdom, leads them to realize their potential.
So, as we mentioned to our audience earlier, you were introduced to us by Octoryia Robinson and Dream That Big Publishing and we really admire them and what they’ve built. For folks who might not be as familiar, can you tell them a bit about your experience with Dream That Big Publishing.
My experience was far more than I expected. Dream That Big believes in you and your vision. They are there to support you every step of the way and hold you accountable for your goals. There were times when I did not feel like writing for whatever reason, but nonetheless, I was never discarded or just left alone. Instead, I was encouraged and motivated through their check-ins via email and or phone calls. I never felt like I was doing it on my own. Dream That Big Publishing has created a community where authors and inspiring authors have confidence in knowing the support system that you are a part of. I published my book with Dream That Big Publishing in September of 2022 with the help of their amazing marketing team, who assisted with creating the material and the marketing of my release. I now look forward to their complimentary “Author’s Mixer,” where I get to meet fellow authors and inspiring authors, and we share our experiences and the incredible workshops which give so many nuggets and networking that takes place monthly.
