Soar to your highest potential by releasing the weight of your past.
Soar to your highest potential by releasing the weight of your past.
It was a secret she had been carrying around for 35 years until that fateful day: September 25, 2022. The secret came out, and her life was forever changed.
That was the day the anchor was cut, and she needed to do serious internal work before anything could get better. Carrying a secret of this magnitude for so long took its toll on her health, relationships, and happiness.
Her early childhood was where her limiting beliefs about herself began, and this was followed by anorexia, depression, abortion, rape, abusive relationships, infidelities, suicide attempts, chronic fatigue syndrome, two failed marriages, single parenting, finding out later in life she had ADHD, dealing with all her neurodiversities, and, of course, the big secret.
This is her journey of self-discovery, strength, overcoming obstacles, transformation, and learning to love herself completely—imperfections and all.
I recently discovered this book, and it left a lasting impact on me. The author shares her personal life story in such a raw and real way that it's impossible not to connect with her journey. Through her vulnerability, she reminds us that hardships are a part of life, yet she also highlights the resilience and strength that come from them.
What stood out most was her ability to make the reader feel deeply human. She doesn't just dwell on struggles; she shows how challenges can lead to growth, hope, and positive outcomes. Her storytelling is both heartfelt and inspiring, making this book a powerful read.
I truly enjoyed every page and look forward to seeing what she writes next.
As I read Kari's book, Cut the Anchor, I was constantly thinking, wow, she has so much courage to share her truth and bare everything about herself and her life that most people spend years hiding. I was personally inspired as Kari's book allowed me to let go of some of the guilt and shame I had been living with. Thanks, Kari, for making a positive impact on my life!
