At Real Mind Shift, we work with ambitious professionals who are ready for more — more purpose, more freedom, more success, and more time for what really matters. Our clients are driven, creative, and done settling for careers that drain their energy.
Some are early in their careers and unsure where to start — they’re exploring their strengths, uncovering their passions, and trying to figure out what kind of work truly fits them. Others are mid-career and ready to shift: changing jobs, switching career tracks, launching side hustles, or crafting a new path after years of working for others.
All of them want to reclaim their time, build confidence, and design a career — and a life — they actually love.
Our clients want expert advice, accountability, and a trusted coach in their corner. They come from all industries and creative fields across the U.S. and beyond — from artists and entrepreneurs to professionals in corporate and nonprofit sectors. What they have in common is a deep desire to grow, make bold moves, and align their work with their values.
At Real Mind Shift, we help you:
Clarify your next career move or business idea
Discover the type of work that fits who you are now (or who you’re becoming)
Reignite your passion and creative spark
Build a career plan that fits your lifestyle and goals
Set boundaries that protect your time and energy
Take aligned action with purpose, confidence, and clarity
Whether you're just starting out or starting over — you're not stuck. You're just one shift away from something better.

“From our very first session, Karen made me feel seen, supported, and ready to tackle my goals. She provided both life and career coaching, helping me clarify my plans for grad school and set up my business. Her encouragement is unmatched—she’s like the ultimate cheerleader who genuinely wants to see you succeed—but she also goes beyond that by creating structure and accountability that drive real results.
What truly sets her apart is her ability to listen deeply and reflect back a clear, actionable vision. She helped me see possibilities I hadn’t considered, like identifying a specific service I could offer, which gave me the clarity and confidence to move forward.
I highly recommend Karen to anyone who needs a coach. She’ll help you clarify your goals, hold you accountable, and cheer you on every step of the way. If you’re ready to bring your dreams into reality, she’s the person to call!”

When I’ve asked for specific advice, she’s provided great approaches, options, and suggestions that are always tailored to my situation.

I’m so grateful for her insight and dedication—she’s truly helped me grow!”

“Karen helped me transform my scattered days into focused, purposeful ones. I was struggling with organization and time management, and she really listened to understand my specific challenges. Together we broke down how to set up my day for success and identify key priorities. What made the difference wasn't just learning about systems, but getting clear guidance on how to actually implement them in my life. Such a helpful session that gave me practical tools to use.”
