0:00.0	I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a
0:10.4	conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps some
0:16.5	nuggets of wisdom along the way.
0:20.2	This is your invitation to slow down with us.
0:25.7	Welcome to Slo-mo.
0:32.2	Thank you for joining me. Today I am in a town called Brukinvater Lond, which is apparently means
0:39.6	pants in trousers land, which is around 30 minutes from Amsterdam in a quest to actually meet

2:17.4	teachings but really in being in becoming an example of how you can come across life with all of the challenges of life and end up finding a path to finding your peace.
2:30.0	I learned afterwards that the story of Karen has not always been happy and that she had to learn on her own against all odds how to find that happiness in her life.
2:43.9	Karen Blumen is an actress. She's a singer. She's an Instagram sensation.
2:51.5	She is an author of two books and I don't know what she's going to do next because in the hour we spent together before we started recording I have never been in the presence of so much energy and so much
