Karina: One Woman's Journey from Fear to Freedom

A poignant story that illustrates it is possible to rediscover yourself

and become the person you were always meant to be.

Born and raised in Poland, Karina accomplished her goals-traveling and

learning languages, moving to the United States, climbing the corporate

ladder, marrying, and building a family-but she never truly felt happy.

In an effort to please the people around her, Karina denied her needs and

squashed her own identity.

Twenty years of building the life she thought she longed for in the United

States, her body began to rebel: developing irritable bowel syndrome,

pneumonia, a pericardial cyst, and Lyme disease.

After a decade in the care of physicians and psychotherapists, Karina was

ready to go in a new direction. Working with a holistic doctor, she came to a

transformational belief: if her thoughts could make her sick, her thoughts

could make her well.

Karina realized she could be the creator of her life. And that was the

catalyst that saved her family, marriage, and her well-being.
