Sometimes the Road Less Travelled Leads You Home to Your Self

The Road Less Travelled Leads You Home to Your Self

As I arrived into November somewhat exhausted and on the eve of my 50th birthday, I found myself reflecting on the year I’ve had and the life I’ve lived so far. That might sound a bit deep, but it came with some cracking lightbulb moments! I realised that without actually trying to, I’ve often taken ‘the path less travelled’ - though it’s all ... Read On

Is it Really Okay to Want What You Want? Are Desires Healthy?

11/11/2025 by Karen Rose

Are Desires Healthy? Read on...

Do you ever wonder if you’re supposed to want so much? If you’re wanting the wrong things, or if you should just be satisfied with what you already have? I remember hearing “be happy with what you’ve got” as a child - with a “don’t be greedy” ring to it. I often hear people today expressing guilt for wanting more than they have, or what I call ...

We will kick our own door down if we have to

We'll kick our own door down if we have to | Blog by Karen Ross |

Hindsight is always so illuminating, isn't it? We look back and think, wow, if I only I’d known then what I know now... One thing I’ve learned more than once - and see others learn quite often too - is how important our internal ‘nudges’ or taps on the shoulder are. They can come from various parts of ourselves, and when we don't listen, ... Read On

The Way of The Rose Book Review by Karen Ross

The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary by Clark Strand and Perdita Finn A few months ago while picking up a few novels at my favourite secondhand bookshop, my eye also landed on this beautiful book, The Way of the Rose. I instinctively added it to the pile and recall thinking simultaneously that I ... Read On

Your own Becoming – the Ultimate Spiritual Journey

Your Own Becoming - The Ultimate Spiritual Journey by Karen Ross

The weeks seem to fly by so fast right now and it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. I think we’re all still busy being busy; running around chasing our never-ending to-do lists, and sometimes feeling a tad disconnected from ourselves and our deeper purpose. So, imagine what it would be like to step into a space where ... Read On

Are you taking time for your own evolution?

07/04/2024 by Karen Rose

One of the shifts many of my clients make over the course of working with me is they get used to taking more time for their growth journey and just being with themselves. While it might not be something you’re much in the habit of, it’s an important part of being a healthy individual with good self-awareness, and a finger on your own pulse. Being a ... Read On

Stages of spiritual growth with Karen Ross at Start With You

The last 17 years of coaching and healing have had me working across a range of areas from workplace stress and leadership, to phobias to trauma and many things in-between. Helping people to escape the stress cycle and build resilience has been a big theme, I guess because we live in an era of stress. Interestingly though, as time has gone on, many ... Read On

A very personal message – the call to let my light out

23/11/2023 by Karen Rose

My work has evolved a lot over the years and even more so recently. Many of my current clients are aware of this as they’ve also been stepping into deeper healing within themselves but it’s time to share more widely what this looks like now. I am very happy and excited to be sharing this update with you! 💛 I’ve had a rather fulsome ... Read On

How much do you trust yourself? Here’s my take on it …

09/10/2023 by Karen Rose

trust yourself - with Coach Karen Ross

Recently I realised, I’m now at a point where I trust myself – to make decisions, handle whatever comes along and continue creating a life I love. I was sharing this with a friend of mine as it felt like a really pivotal moment in my own growth and worthy of celebration and acknowledgement. She was beautifully celebratory and also curious about ... Read On

29/06/2023 by Karen Rose

retreats nz - my recommendations

If these cooler months here in New Zealand have you slowing down and feeling like hibernating then you’re not alone, and you are sensing exactly what your wondrous body and Spirit likely desires at this time.
