Teri Karjala, is a Transformational Life Strategist, the founder of Creative Counseling Center and Talking with Teri, best-selling author of Be The Magic of You: Tools to Transform Your Life with a foreword written by Jack Canfield. She is Coach with Forbes and a Premier Success Coach with eWomen Network. Teri is a thought leader in female empowerment and entrepreneurship. Today, women entrepreneurs hire her to ignite the magic within. Because most are consumed by fear, held back by unconscious limiting beliefs, and—without even knowing it—are addicted to self-sabotage and lack the tools to get back on track. Teri helps them unleash their greatest transformation by releasing the blocks that hold them back to catapult their business, generate more money, more clients, more freedom, with a lot less effort. When not helping women take over the world, she spends time with her husband, daughter and fur baby. Teri loves doodling and any thrill seeking adventure!
