Show It Off Podcast - Gifts of Ending the Toxic Relationship Pattern with Author and Former Single Mama, Karen Stanley
She’s back! Mrs. Karen Stanely was our guest in Episode #50 and the response I received from her story and her message was nothing short of massive. Last time she shared how she went from shame and guilt to self-love and ended up attracting the man of her dreams. This time, she shares the gifts and value of inviting a partner into your single mama house and becoming someone’s partner.
After heartbreak and dysfunctional relationships, it can be hard to open our hearts again. This is why I think it is beautiful to hear Karen’s story and see her example of someone who has overcome abuse, heartache, who was a single mama for eight years, who learned to fall in love with herself and her life AS IS and ended up creating a new love and new life for herself and her children.

Crushing Your Fears Podcast - Overcoming Fears of failure and fears of being Vulnerable after divorce and trauma
Description:
Michael speaks with Karen Stanley about her journey through her fears of failing (again) after divorce, foreclosure, and bankruptcy to emerge to write her new book “Becoming Mrs. Stanley”.
Everyone who hears the story of finding true love tells us it gives them hope. They tell us we need to tell more people our story, people who might think it’s too late to find love. That’s why I created this website, started a blog, and wrote Becoming Mrs. Stanley. For many years, I wanted it, but I didn’t really believe it was possible. Now, I want every single person out there looking for a long-term relationship to know that you CAN find true love! Amazing, wonderful, kind, caring, compassionate, successful, single people of all ages DO EXIST, and I believe everyone can find love again.

Just F-it Podcast - Transforming your beliefs to transform your circumstances
Mrs. Karen Stanley is an entrepreneur, professional Mezzo-Soprano, and former single mom who spent over two decades running marketing businesses and performing around the country.
During the eight years prior to her last first date with her husband John, she experienced the ups and downs, joys and challenges of raising two children as a single parent. Through her personal metamorphosis, Karen purged the negative self-talk and replaced it with the positive values of self-worth that she knew she and all women need as a foundation.
Mrs. Karen Stanley proved that finding true love is a reality, not a fleeting romantic notion. Her strategies in her book Becoming Mrs. Stanley will serve as a guide to help women achieve the love they deserve.
This episode is POWERFUL because I know many of us continually battle with limiting beliefs. It was an honor having Karen on the show and listening to her stories and experiences that formed her identity today!
