Episode 15- Circle of Friends with Karla

Karla was a life-saver for me, a mentor, business partner and dear friend. We recount our invisible thread journey and the birth of the Circle of Friends groups.  Karla Brooks is a creative spirit who is guided by her need to EXPLORE, CREATE, CONNECT and INSPIRE. Her mission is to help others discover their authentic selves and build community to solve the growing loneliness epidemic. She believes in the power of utilizing co-design principles to guide innovation and engagement initiatives. Karla is a creative spirit and lifelong learner who began her career in graphic design, expanded into marketing, co-founded an art licensing business, transitioned into health and wellbeing and is an author, speaker and transformative content creator who travels the world and is part of the sharing economy. I invite you to join the upcoming It Makes Me Happy! 6 week online group! You will receive the beautiful workbook, maybe some other goodies (I am working on this now). This is a safe, skillfully guided group that will help you connect with your inner world and create deep, rich connections with others focusing on answering the two vital questions, "Who am I & What Makes me Happy?" training ourselves to be happier (without anything externally changing). It Makes Me Happy! offers tools to reconnect with your authentic self and a simple formula to find joy in everyday living.   Key takeaways: ·       What is your favorite color? ·      Connect In (to your inner self) Connect Up (to your Higher Self/Power) and Connect Out (to one another) ·      Who are you? And what makes you happy? ·      Take 15 seconds to say "It Makes Me Happy" to solidify happy moments in your brain and re-wire the brain for happiness. ·       Start your journey with the It Makes Me Happy! Workbook  You can learn more about Karla & her mission here: www.itmakesmehappy.com  In her episode Karla references the following people who have positively influenced her journey: Susan Anderson Recovery Workbook  Dr Henry Cloud  Dr. Margaret Paul   Richard Rohr  Alanon Groups -   https://al-anon.org/
