Manage episode 489915707 series 3657182
Karli Grove, a small-town Canadian, shares her bold journey of personal growth — from the quiet prairies of Alberta to the coastlines of New Zealand and the vibrant cultures of Southeast Asia. In this conversation, Karli reflects on how a failed chemistry quiz, a leap into the unknown, and a drive to experience life beyond the familiar reshaped her future. Through travel, independence, and self-discovery, Karli returns home with a renewed sense of purpose and the confidence to pursue the business she’s always dreamed of.
Key Takeaways
- Support through community: Community involvement can enhance life experiences and skills.
- Failure can redirect your life: A failed university quiz led Karli to switch majors, ultimately changing her entire trajectory.
- Your authentic self often emerges in anonymity: Being unknown gave Karli freedom to become who she truly is.
- Spirit speaks through signs: Karli's journey is guided by synchronicities, including license plates, dates, and even place names.
- Travel grows sovereignty: 500 days abroad gave Karli clarity, confidence, and a sense of identity she couldn't have found at home.
- Spirituality is personal: Her experience with human design, tarot, and the Akashic records shaped her intuitive decision-making.
- Reverse culture shock is real: Coming home after deep transformation can feel isolating when others haven’t shared your growth.
- Trust the unknown: Life doesn't always need a plan; sometimes the path reveals itself with each step
- Personal growth: Recognising patterns and learning from the past.
