Kamalaya Koh Samui

has been a big part of my life for almost a decade and is one of the most awarded wellness retreats in the world.

It was recommended to me when I was suffering from severe burnout and was struggling to step into the next level of my life journey. Since then I have consistently committed to their Asian Bliss Program and received in return a life of alignment because I chose to step into my personal power and make sweeping changes in my life. To say I am grateful is an understatement.

I said good bye to two decades as an agency owner and birthed Powerful Steps in 2019 to pay forward key life learnings to empower women in leadership with proven frameworks to break through the barriers they faced and have never looked back. The results have been extraordinary and in this episode I speak with Co-Founder and Chief Wellness Officer Karina Stewart about her own personal journey and commitment to transformation through the power of being aware and present.

Karina shares how happiness is the key to longevity,  how to protect your aura and energy to make a true difference to the lives of others and how she built a global business with her husband John Stewart through the gift of love and wisdom.
