Kara Goodwin is a midwest mom and wife who left the corporate IT world due to a move to Italy and then never went back after learning the benefits of meditation and empowerment. She talks to Kim about learning how to meditate after dealing with a very bad year and her call to teach others. She shares some great lessons including realizing that there is more than one path to enlightenment and sometimes you need to stand up for yourself along the way.
