Welcome to the first interview series! Up first is Karel Chan (IG: @anchoredawakening), a therapist turned happiness coach. Here's a little info on my guest this week: Karel Chan's goal is to help soulful women discover and connect with their mind, body, and spirit to find their true purpose and live a happy, fulfilling life. After 10+ years as a clinical mental health therapist, she left the therapy industry and her private practice in Feb 2023 to focus on coaching full time! Karel loves talking about happiness, love, soul work, and mental and spiritual wellness, especially for women, about women, and with women. She says, "I always learn something more about the individual yet also universal experiences of modern women in the west, which just helps me to be even more passionate and effective in my work in helping women reach higher and more expansive levels of self-love, purpose, and happiness."
