Episode 10: The Adventure of Becoming
In this episode of the ThriveMind Studio Podcast, host Courtney Finstad is joined by Karen Hurley, Leadership Coach & Trainer and Founder of Coaching With a Karen, for a thoughtful conversation about living with intention, embracing change, and discovering what truly matters. Together, they explore how purpose, curiosity, and simple daily practices can help us navigate life's transitions, build resilience, and create a more meaningful life.
Drawing from her own experiences of profound personal transformation, Karen shares practical insights into intentional living, the power of heartfelt desire, and a simple yet impactful framework for creating intentions that align with who we are and how we want to live. This conversation is a reminder that it's never too late to begin again, ask for support, and embrace life's next adventure.
In today's Sponsor Spotlight, we're joined by Micah Schwader, Strategic Partner and Founder of The Art of Discernment®, for a conversation about storytelling, creativity, and the evolving role of AI in the writing process. Together, we explore why authentic human stories matter more than ever, how AI can amplify—not replace—our creativity, and why learning to communicate with clarity and purpose is one of the most valuable skills of the future. We also preview From Prompt to Powerful, an upcoming course designed to help writers, entrepreneurs, speakers, and creators strengthen their voice while using AI as a powerful creative tool.
Whether you're navigating change, exploring your purpose, or looking to become a more confident storyteller, this episode offers practical wisdom, encouragement, and inspiration to help you move forward with greater intention.
