ABOUT

Meet Your Coach

I’m Karen Hawkins, a lifelong journalist, serial entrepreneur and mouthy Black lesbian feminist of the Gen-X variety. I’m the founder of Rebellious Magazine for Women and co-host of Of Course I’m Not OK: The Podcast.

I’m making a purposeful pivot to life and leadership coaching, and I’m here to partner with you on making the best of the best time in our lives.

Bring a challenge you’re facing and an open mind as we spend 60 minutes doing the damn thing: We’ll discuss powerful questions and explore a possible coaching partnership. 

I'M READY TO (TRY) THE DAMN THING

LIFe and leadership coaching

I love to work with:

Two women sitting at a table in a bright office, smiling and talking to each other with notebooks and pens in front of them.

Folks looking to make progress on personal or professional goals.

A girl sitting on a bench, overlooking a sunset over mountains and valleys.

Anyone at a crossroads in their lives, personally or professionally (because mid-life is a tricky bish)

My sandwich generation homies because, say it with me: Nobody puts baby in a samich. 

People sitting in a row at a conference or seminar, taking notes with notebooks and pens.

Journalists and newsrooms looking for help setting strategy and/or how to people better

Leaders who want to strengthen their relationships with their teams, colleagues or bosses.

Should you? Shouldn’t you? Should you stop shoulding yourself? Ah, should. Sometimes life’s decisions — big and small — benefit from the perspective of a neutral third party. As your Decision Doula, I’m invested in helping you review your options and make the best choice possible. We’ll start with a 30-minute introductory call, then a 90-minute decision deep dive. If that isn’t enough time, we’ll go from there. 

Decision Doula

Why is this computer screen so blank? Why is that cursor blinking so loud? Why is coming up with something to say or do so arrrrrgh right now? Sometimes what a blocked creative process needs is another set of hands for a firm but gentle nudge in the assets and eyes that haven’t been staring at the screen forevah. As your Brainstorming Baddie, I’ll partner with you to get the words and ideas flowing again. We’ll start with a 30-minute introductory call, then a 90-minute brainstorming deep dive. If that isn’t enough time, we’ll go from there. 

COMING SOON!
