So when Karen Goslin chatted in my DMs, I wasn't expecting what came next.
She's a well seasoned psychotherapist, a speaker, and an author. By every measure, someone who has it together.
She'd seen my post about the Mean Girl Wound, the one about women tearing each other down, competing instead of collaborating, surviving instead of thriving; and something in it stood out.
Like me, Karen knows that wound from the inside, we've lived it on both ends of the spectrum.
Karen (like me) can also relate to wanting to end her life.
Yet she wasn't meant to die, but go onto not just surviving but thriving…which I can deeply relate to.
She turned the hardest chapter of her life into a book - Yellow Paint: Learning to Live Again, and then into a Mission. Helping other women find their way back from the edge of themselves.
When I read her story, I recognized something.
I know what it looks like when a woman has walked through the fire and come back transformed.
That kind of woman tells her story so the next woman doesn't have to stay lost as long as she did.
Here's what I know about women who carry this kind of wound:
↳ They are often the helpers. The fixers. The ones holding everyone else together while falling apart on the inside.
↳ They look fine from the outside: accomplished, capable, strong, yet lie awake at 3am wondering why none of it feels like enough.
↳ They are the women who were never taught that their pain was valid. That their story mattered. That they were allowed to take up space and fall apart and come back and still be worthy of love.
They experienced The Women Wounds; The Mother Wound. The Sister Wound. The Witch Wound. The Mean Girl Wound.
These aren't just emotional buzzwords. They are the invisible wounds that run our relationships, our businesses, our sense of self, until we name them, face them, and finally begin to heal them.
That's exactly why Karen and I knew we had to sit down together.
Two women. Two different yet similar journeys. One shared truth:
The moment you stop hiding your hardest chapter is when it no longer has power over you.
Karen became a great psychotherapist because of her rock bottom, not despite it. The women she serves most deeply are the ones who see themselves in her story and feel less alone because of it.
When Karen & I hopped on a call and connected on so many levels, we decided to experience High Tea at The Shangrila Hotel together, as the idea of possibly collaborating felt really special & important ☆
We had a wonderful time sipping tea & eating exotic treats. By the end, we both knew in our hearts that this conversation needed a bigger room.
Which is exactly why on June 19th, we're bringing it to you at my dream venue where Karen is a member: Verity on Queen.
Heal Your Women Wounds, Heal Your Business
📅 June 19 | 12PM – 2PM 📍 Verity Women's Club | The Library 111d Queen St. E, Toronto, ON M5C 1S2 🎟️ $35 CAD
Karen and I are going to talk about The Women Wounds that entrepreneurs carry most, where they come from, how they show up in your business, what happens when they do, and the steps you can take to start healing them.
This is intimate and exactly the kind of conversation that may truly transform your world.
Space is limited; this is intentionally small so every woman in that room feels seen.
Oh…and yummy refreshments are included too! What more could you ask for?
Hope to see you in one week LIVE ☆
At Your Service,
E
