Today we’d like to introduce you to Cari Kenzie.
Hi Cari, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
As an entrepreneur and business owner of a multi-million dollar marketing agency I took up running after having my third child to release stress and the extra baby weight. Running quickly became a passion and in 2010 I ran the Twin Cities Marathon, during which I qualified to run the Boston Marathon. As life occasionally does, curve balls were thrown and I found myself shoulder to shoulder at the pinnacle of a runner’s dream at the start line of the Boston Marathon in Hopkinton in 2013. The dream of running this unprecedented course soon turned into a nightmare as I crossed the finish line and was ushered to the medical tent only yards away. While waiting for medical attention, the sound replicating that of a cannon caught my attention and in the few moments that my curiosity begged the question of a celebration a reverberation shook the ground, the tent, and every cell of my being. An instant awareness to the reality at hand settled. A bomb had just been set in my own backyard!
While this was a profound experience, the defining moment followed the next day as I stood at the end of Boylston street overlooking the destruction taking it all in. A reporter tapped my shoulder and as he began asking me questions a voice inside my head said “It’s not your story to tell.” So I walked away from this tragic event and went home and back to my business with every intent to continue “normal life”
However, within months of this, I would become bedridden ill and hardly able to function. The trauma triggered something deep within me that I didn’t fully understand. I sought medical attention and didn’t find the answers I was looking for. However, in my search for healing, I would find myself. This was the beginning of an awakening that led me from the grip of illness to living on purpose and subsequently selling the business I had built for 20 years.
Now, while this is an extreme example, what I came to find was that it was simply a metaphor for our everyday experiences. Everyone has faced trauma in some shape or form. The issue is that like me on the day I was approached by the reporter, we have the tendency to push our traumatic events to the side and not acknowledge what actually happened and give ourselves the time to heal and find answers.
The hardest thing for any of us to do is to fully acknowledge ourselves within an experience where we fear the gravity, the shame, and dismiss our own experience by fearing that we are taking away from another person’s experience.
As a high achiever, business owner, mother…I had too much to lose should anyone see the weakness within me. So I hid and became a spectator. This had been a pattern throughout my life, within my business, and had held me back in so many ways. Yet once I allowed myself the moments, the voice, and released the shame, my life completely changed.
I’m not the same woman who crossed the finish line in Boston. I have unlocked a life of endless opportunity where I’m no longer subject to looking at life through the lens of trauma.
Today I’m a keynote speaker, author, quantum healer and life mastery coach who advocates for the truth of the untold story.
You don’t need to settle. You too can liberate your life from what weighs you down, release the limitations, the past, and the regret — and take full responsibility for the life and business you are creating.
We’ve been impressed with Cari Kenzie – Quantum Healing & Life Mastery, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I work with the world’s highest achievers to put them back in radical control of every facet of their lives. I focus on empowerment over powerlessness, creation over destruction and act as a conduit for each individual to change their world.
I have decades of experience in transpersonal psychology, epigenetics, Taoist practices, and entrepreneurial studies.
As a globally recognized speaker, best-selling author, coach, and guide, I’ve shared my wisdom and expertise at numerous conferences and events and have been featured on multiple podcasts within the spirituality and self-improvement spaces.
