You might know Karen O'Leary as Officer O'Leary from the wildly hilarious television show Wellington Paranormal, but we know her as our friend and as a creative heavy-hitter across platforms and projects.

Karen started her working life as an early childhood educator and calls herself an "accidental actress." Um, yay for an amazing accident!

In this episode, we get to the heart of Karen's giant heart and her propensity to say "Yes!" to things that might seem scary or unknown - knowing that, no matter what, when you try new things and remain curious, you also gather stories, experience, and learn new skills.

How wonderful life is while people like Karen are in the world. We know you'll enjoy this conversation as much as we did!

Follow us on Instagram and share your engaged, kind feedback with us both!

Also, as always, please subscribe, like, share, and tell all your friends about AID AND ABET if you think they'd love a good 'ol fizz up in their creative lives!
