About the guest – Karen Pulver is a multifaceted individual with a remarkable journey. She is a podcaster, model, actress, mother, teacher, wife, cancer and stroke survivor. Karen's passion for empowering women led her to create a women's group in Chicago called Grateful Goddesses. Within this group, women gathered in various venues to listen to inspiring speakers and engage in activities curated by Karen to enhance their lives. In 2009, Karen established Grateful Goddesses, and in 2011, she faced a challenging diagnosis of cancer. Despite this setback, Karen drew strength from the gatherings and utilized the skills she acquired to navigate her rehabilitation journey both physically and mentally. Subsequently, Karen dedicated herself to teaching young children, witnessing the joy in their eyes as they learned to read and write, fostering their confidence and pride. In 2019, Karen revitalized Grateful Goddesses amidst the COVID-19 pandemic by launching a podcast of the same name. This virtual platform allowed her to connect with individuals worldwide, expanding her knowledge of life's physical, mental, and spiritual aspects. Recognizing the value of personal interactions, Karen initiated a weekly live show on the Pulver network, engaging with her audience and incorporating their feedback into her podcast episodes. Inspired by her experiences, Karen pursued coaching at the Adler School of Psychology. In 2023, she faced another health challenge with a stroke, drawing upon the tools from the goddess toolbox for her rehabilitation. Karen's resilience and positivity SHINE through as she continues to interview and coach individuals, particularly those navigating health challenges. She believes in moving forward while allowing herself grace to heal. Karen's dedication to helping others discover their potential, from children to adults, is guided by the motto, "You always had the power, my dear, you just had to realize it." As Karen embraces her role as a beacon of positivity and empowerment, she embodies the spirit of growth and transformation.

About the guest – Jeanette Deatherage I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, USAF Veteran and friend. I love my God, husband, daughters, grandson, family, and pets, along with the dear friends, co-workers and clients who may as well be family! I simply adore my daughters and grandsons. I guess that’s part of the reason why I always treat people with such love, kindness, and compassion. I love, I care, I hope, I pray, and yes, sometimes I even cry! Yet, at the same time, I’m a strong, hard-working, and determined team leader, coach, and mentor. I get up each morning, ready to take on the world. I have a passion for being responsible, building enduring relationships, providing great customer service, and meeting deadlines. I treat my co-workers and clients with dignity and respect and help bring out the best in them at every opportunity. The people who rely on me expect it, and, frankly, I expect it from myself! Before I leave for work each morning, I want to put my best face forward, to face every day looking and feeling my best. It’s so nice that Mary Kay is always there to help me to do that. That one last look in the mirror, and the smile I see, tells me all I need to know! That’s why I’m a Mary Kay representative and have used their products long before I ever decided to work for this world-class organization. Yes, you can say that I’m a Mary Kay girl, and my customers are exactly like me! I invite you to join me; let’s face the day together!
