Karen Harden shares her internal conviction of how we all can end generational cycles of abuse within the family environment. She shares the intuitive paths she chose in a world and time when silence was the first and only response to trauma in the home. She combines both her challenges and insights into the value of forgiveness, healing, self-care, and kindness. She intertwines it with stories of her longtime career as a volunteer and professional in the non-profit sector embracing and inspiring young people to summon their resilient nature. She also touches on her recent adventure walking the woods and mountains of the Appalachian Trail. Karen has been an advocate, volunteer, director, program developer, grant-writer and fund-raiser for youth programs locally, statewide, and nationally. She has two grown sons, three grandchildren and currently resides in Northern Wisconsin.
