HER STORY ⟡ Karlyn of Dear Wild Heart
Hi Beauties!
It’s nice to meet you. My name is Karlyn. I am a Wild Hearted woman whose life’s purpose is to help other women rediscover their Wild Heart as I believe it is from this place that abundant and authentic lives can truly be lived. That’s been my experience anyway… AND the experience of my coaching clients who have shed their limiting self concepts and traded them in for expansive ones of empowerment, confidence, and self love.
I haven’t always been in this expansive and authentic place. There was a time when I was living a life that felt heavy, directionless, and misaligned. I just felt kind of like a robot. Sure there were aspects of my life I loved and I was grateful for, but I struggled to be happy. Joy was an infrequent visitor to my life.
What’s interesting about all of that is, I had a lot of the external things that our culture celebrates. The ones we see on social media and compare ourselves to. I had a successful business, I owned a beautiful home in one of the most coveted places in my area, I drove a fancy truck… And - I felt empty.
I felt like I had to keep plodding forward, lest I lose all of these amazing things or lose grip on the progress I had made. I was clinging to an outward identity to hold me up, when really it has to be the other way around. Success, joy, abundance… It's all an inside job. It’s not the things that accumulate or the boxes checked that create success and abundance, it’s arriving at a place of internal peace, love, and acceptance. It’s moving slow and creating a bigger impact than my scrambling anxiety filled heart could create. It’s shifting into full self expression and shedding ill fitting constructs that were either projected onto me by others or completely DIY’ed by myself.
To do this, I had to deconstruct to reconstruct. I had to look at things with a clear yet compassionate eye and learn how I was actively participating in the choreography of the dance of misery I was in. I had to surrender to the fact that I am well and surely led by The Universe, if I step out of the way. If I release my narrow agenda and embrace the discomfort of growth.
That all was made possible by my work with various coaches, therapists, energy workers, and my willingness to stay with it. My life is completely different. Internally and externally.
The highlights? - I am happier, I feel more ease & joy. I am making good money doing what I love and feel most aligned with. I help women just like me walk through the fire and create the lives they know they are meant to live. I help them find their own joy and ease. And I help them make more money & expand into abundance.
It’s a dream.
Why you started Dear Wild Heart:
I started Dear Wild Heart to help women. I love women. I think we are amazing, grossly underappreciated (by ourselves and others), and we often limit ourselves unknowingly. I want women to feel the sense of empowerment and freedom I feel. I want them to create their own version of this for themselves. I just think it’s my little mark on the world. To leave it a better place by empowering as many women as I can along the way.
What you love about being a business owner:
The number one reason anyone I talk to wants to start a business or why they started a business is the same as me… FREEDOM. Time freedom. Creative freedom. Freedom of uncapped earning potential. I love being the captain of my own ship. The self growth that has come from it. The ability to provide for myself and my family. The ability to travel and work flexibly. And getting to be there for my son in the morning and after school. Flexibility, freedom, impact.
What type of impact do you hope to have on those who meet you or work with you?
I hope to be an expansive source of inspiration and empowerment. I hope that when I connect with someone they feel seen, heard, & validated. I typically like to make people laugh too.
When I work with someone, my intention is to inspire a transformation within them that has exponential ripple effects. I equip them with their unique plan and help them unlock their blocks to creating success in all aspects of their lives and businesses.
This transformation is the beginning of a lifetime of expansion into their abundance, success, love, & true self expression.
Who or what inspires you?:
I am endlessly inspired by Nature. To me, most of my answers can be found in the way Nature operates... The cyclical seasons. The power & peace expressed by the weather. The abundance of resources and endless beauty. The diligence of the animals preparing for winter. The way plants trick animals into spreading their seeds…
Nature is patient, powerful, beautiful, generous, unapologetic, & creative.
I am also inspired by women who have gone before me, who have taken risks, who have shown bright, who have created massive success, who have reached back and helped the woman behind them, who have made it possible for me to have a voice, a choice, and a vote.
What is your favorite piece of advice you've ever received or favorite quote?
It’s not about me.
What does beauty mean to you?
Beauty means full self expression, whether it’s the full expression of a flower, a piece of music, a painting, or a human, I am blown away when I see it. Every. Time.
What advice would you give your past self just starting your business?
As soon as you embrace entrepreneurship as an experiment instead of worrying about getting everything right all the time and you decide to have more fun with it, you will make more money and create more success and enjoy yourself a lot more.
What would you like our Beauty Boost members to know?
You deserve the world sweetie. But you are the one who creates it.
No one is gonna come do it for you. Keep surrounding yourself with other women who know this and are creating it for themselves and before you know it, you will be the woman that someone is trying to surround themselves with.
