Boss Body

Episode Summary:

Don’t wait for permission.

Don’t wait for perfect.

The key is to take action.

Act on your dreams.

Act on your vision.

These are the principles my guest, Karen Putz lives by.

Known as the Passion Mentor, Karen lost her hearing at a young age, causing her to give up her favorite sport - barefoot waterskiing. Even though she describes the next few decades of her life as “busy and full,” she felt something was missing….

Passion!

In this episode, she shares her inspiring story of overcoming challenges and finding her passion in midlife. She is now 50-something and can barefoot waterski backwards on one foot with her hands in the air!

She shares her wisdom and insights on how to revitalize your mindset, break through fear, pursue your passions, and create a joyful second half of life.

“You can have the most beautiful second half of life, no matter where you are in life.” - Karen Putz
