Karen Whaley
I chose this career path because
I am beginning a new career using the abilities that I was born with, after retiring from a 27 year career in the United States Air Force where I served as a Jet Engine mechanic. I enlisted to prove a point, that I could do anything as a woman. As a medium, I am tapping into a gift that I was born with and hoping to help people improve their lives.
I prepared for this career by
In the military I went to mechanics school. As a medium I am currently being mentored. I am Reiki Master as well.
The biggest challenge I've overcome
As a woman, especially in the military, it is not just proving yourself once, but it is a continual process where I had to keep proving myself. As a medium it is overcoming the fears that people have about mediums and dealing with death.
My greatest strength(s)
I am determined, driven and independent to a fault, I'd rather do it myself which isn't always the best thing to do when you need help.
My greatest accomplishment to date
Embracing my career as a medium, it has been rewarding and giving readings. It took me a while to trust and believe in myself, but now I am embracing my gifts.
My personal/professional goals
Completing my mentorship and adding more services and updating my website.
What/Who has inspired me the most
My mother. I learned that I am a third generation medium - both my mother and grandmother were & still are instrumental in my Mediumship endeavors.
