Finding Balance and Growth with Karen DeLuca: From Fitness Expert, Parenting & Boardrooms to Landscape Designer

We are Made for More

Send me a text message! I’d love to hear from you!

Join us for a heartwarming journey as Karen DeLuca unfolds her life's adventures, threaded with tales of strength, reinvention, and unyielding determination. The essence of our conversation captures the art of navigating life's challenges, from the demanding world of fitness to the strategic plays within the corporate sphere, all harmonized with the symphony of twin parenthood. Karen's story resonates with the rhythm of connections made, sometimes serendipitously, and how these bonds blossom over time, teaching us the beauty of being present and receptive to the hidden melodies of life's encounters.
In the throes of physical setbacks and the mental gymnastics that accompany them, Karen's spirit shines as a testament to finding joy in movement, even as the years add texture to our stories. We wade through the waters of recovery, discussing how injuries can reshape our understanding of self-care and the importance of tuning into our body's whispers for moderation. There's a lesson in each pause and a dance in every step taken with care, a narrative Karen illustrates with the grace of a seasoned fitness guide, encouraging us to embrace the journey of health as it evolves.
As the episode unfurls, we're inspired by Karen's chameleon-like adaptability in her professional life. We witness her seamless transition from the fitness arena to a coveted role at MasterCard International, and eventually to the creative haven of her own landscape design business. This courageous new venture falls inside her husband, Jim’s, stunning design world of award winning architectural homes on the Gold Coast of Long Island. We wrap up our conversation by celebrating the successes of passion and pride that blooms within a family, sharing the achievements of children who have grown under the canopy of values sown by their parents. Karen's story, interwoven with reflections on the triumphs of both our families, invites listeners to ponder the rich stories of their lives and the courage it takes to pursue one's passions at any stage.
