In this episode, we sat down with Karen Kieffer, owner of Snowfields Coaching, to share the story that led her to the work she does today. After a lifetime of navigating PTSD, anxiety, and depression without effective support, Karen stayed open to learning and creating alternative options where resources were lacking. In her 50s, she returned to school to become a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, determined to bring progressive, research-backed approaches directly to the people who needed them most. More recently, a cancer diagnosis became another turning point — clarifying what matters and deepening her commitment to meaningful, embodied work.   This episode is part of a 4-part series with Karen Kieffer, owner of Snowfields Coaching based in Howard, WI.
