Karen Makkai
from Big Little Small Talk Hosted by Megan O'Hara Sullivan and 102.7 FM Toowoomba
Karen Makkai didn’t start her working life teaching meditation, in fact she studied to be a speech pathologist. In 2020 Karen was plunged into the world of breast cancer - she was diagnosed with an aggressive lobular carcinoma. What followed was the usual chaos of cancer; mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy. To try and still her mind, manage her stress, her mood and to fill in the long hours of infusions, Karen turned to meditation. The practice has become central to Karen’s life….she lives, breathes and teaches mediation. Karen wants to give back to the organisation that helped her on this long, scary journey…The Jenny Black Cancer Wellness Centre at Hope Horizons Toowoomba. She is 5 years cancer free and holding a women’s only dance party called ‘Flashdance for Hope’ 12 September @ 6.30pm. In the words of William W. Purkey: "You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like there's nobody listening, and live like it's heaven on earth."
