Happy & Whole Working Mom
An 8-week one-to-one program that empowers working moms to regain control of their time, energy and happiness.
Mama, are you ready to claim control of your life without the guilt or sacrifice?
You’re the driving force that keeps all the parts moving in your family AND the one everyone leans on when they need help.
The catch is that while it’s nice to feel needed, if gone unchecked your calendar becomes full, your emotional and physical energies become drained and there’s no time for you.
The cure?
You’re ready to regain control of your life so you have the time and energy for the experiences that are important to you and your family.
But with everyone and everything demanding your attention, how do you even start?
I’m Karen Gruber and we’re all in this together.
Never is this more true than when a mom is working and running a busy household.
When I became a new mom, I found myself in a vicious cycle of making myself indispensable (at least in my mind). At first feeling needed and important felt great! But the more I encouraged this reliance the more stressed, resentful, and burned out I became.
Our schedules were double and triple booked, and far too many days I was consumed with guilt over cancelling plans we couldn’t possibly make. Shuttling my daughter from one activity to the next, creating the “perfect” home and being the “perfect” wife … all while working my ass off in my real estate business, days, nights, and weekends led to exhaustion.
I had completely neglected taking care of myself and turned to drinking to numb the pain.
But I had it all wrong…
The day I realized that work + life balance is a dangerous myth and my wellness mattered too, was the day I SAVED my marriage, my health, and my family!
And you can too! I believe this with all my heart.
After 15+ years working with women and moms like you, plus lessons learned from my own motherhood journey, I created this program because I know what it’s like to succumb to the outdated expectation that motherhood means sacrificing yourself in order to serve others. And I know how important it is to you to be a great mom and have a sense of achievement and accomplishment while living a fulfilling life.
What would be possible if …
You no longer leaked precious energy through distractions and overwhelm and became in control of your time, despite your career and running a busy household?
You no longer felt pulled in every direction and tired of all the demands on your time because you were operating in alignment with your core virtues 100% of the time?
You stopped trying to fill the emptiness with unhealthy coping strategies; and instead, were filled from within, living a joyful, harmonious, and purposeful life?
You became the gatekeeper of your time and energy without feeling like you were neglecting your family and your multitudes of commitments?
You were able to renew your passion and engagement with life without having to do more, be more or push so hard?
Introducing Happy & Whole Working Mom
An 8-week one-to-one program that empowers working moms to regain control of their time, energy and happiness.
This unconventional program shows you how to eliminate the exhaustion, stress and guilt that comes from being a working mom.
Through a deliberate process, you’ll regain control of your life, outsmart the myth of work + life balance, prosper in your work, have happy kids, and create a life that turns you on.
This isn’t the program that covers a bunch of strategies and life-hacks, keeping you in your head wondering if you’re getting it right.
This is a partnership from day 1. Together we’ll craft the experience specifically to your needs so you can achieve your desired outcomes.
Stage #1: Identify Your North Star
There’s a LOT of noise and conflicting information in this world. Where does a mom turn? The truth is, you’ve got this Mama. When you’re connected to and aligned with your North Star, you WILL be able to create sustainable change. By gaining clarity on what REALLY matters, you’ll be pro-active and engaged with life, instead of reactive to what’s happening around you.
In this stage, you’ll…
- Identify and live in alignment with your core virtues so you can easily make decisions that shape your life, manage ‘bad’ feelings, and experience peace, joy, harmony and fulfillment.
- Understand exactly what drains your energy and what inspires you on a daily basis so you can activate your inner motivation to consistently move forward and make sustainable changes.
- Discover how to work with the energy in your home and around you so you can see and connect with your dreams and desires and make life-enhancing choices.
- Feel significant and confident in your role as a mom and easily make decisions that support the well-being of yourself and your family.
Stage #2: Be Whole, Healthy, and More Than Enough
Once you know what inspires you, the next step is to put your attention on these things. By calling in the circumstances, experiences, and people you WANT in your life, you’ll find that the things that don’t feel good will naturally start falling away.
In this stage, you’ll:
- Learn the process of releasing into your true emotions without fear that you’ll become fragile or weak.
- Cultivate an unshakable inner power that empowers you to take care of yourself and your relationships.
- Stop feeling drained by choices that conflict with your values, and instead, make choices that feed your spirit, making you feel whole, healthy and more than enough.
- Learn exactly how bringing in more of what you love will replenish your energy so you can be more engaged, productive and happy.
Stage #3: Outsmart the Myth of Work + Life Balance
Now that you’ve set the foundation, it’s time to transform your wellness through inspired action. You’ll be guided by the activities you’re moved to do – the activities that make sense to you – even if they don’t make sense to others. Your inspired action will lead to increased productivity, greater purpose and more peace.
In this stage, you’ll:
- Uncover your biggest time wasting habits so you have more time to spend on what matters most to you and your family.
- Identify your top life gift-goals and why you need to determine your wants vs. ‘shoulds’ when approaching any project so you can achieve your aspirations with ease and joy.
- Become the authority of your life by embracing and implementing the top 7 most enriching time-saving practices so you can dissolve the constant stress and overwhelm currently present in your life.
- Understand how to allow for a gratifying relationship with pleasure and life-affirming experiences so you can deeply experience joy and happiness.
Stage #4: Unleash Your Feminine Genius
The stage has been set. When inspired action is married with your feminine genius, life becomes effortless. Your feminine genius is your path to joy, receptivity (the key to life), and wisdom; and it has the power to dismantle the fears that stop you time and time again.
In this stage, you’ll:
- Discover the #1 practice that will tune you into your body’s wisdom, in 1 second or less, so you can hear her message anytime, anywhere.
- Develop a physical and energetic presence that attracts the attention you want: personally and professionally.
- Look and feel more confident, healthy, and radiant when you walk into a room.
- Identify when you’ve abandoned your principles and how to quickly move back into alignment so you can begin to build trust with what your body is communicating and teach your children to do the same.

- You know you have a big vision for your life, but you feel confused about how to articulate and act on that vision.
Sweet Mama, there’s no better time to stop second-guessing yourself and live a life of sovereignty.
It’s time for you to…
- Eliminate time wasters: the things, activities, and people that drain your energy so you can easily focus on what matters most.
- Become the authority of your life and powerfully lead yourself and your family with impactful changes to your daily routines.

I know this can be scary, and that fear may have kept you still and silent for too long. I want you to know that it’s your birthright to have the life you desire. And now is the time for you to take this first step and claim the life to be the woman and the mom you know you were born to be.
I thought you might ask…
I’M SUPER BUSY AND DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME. I’M AFRAID THIS WILL SUCK ALL THE REMAINING TIME I HAVE FROM MY HECTIC LIFE.
I totally hear your concerns. It’s absolutely true that this will require you to dig a little deeper for the next 8 weeks.
But what if the extra effort you put in for a short term will pay off big for you and actually save you heaps of time in the future?
Yes. That’s exactly what you’ll learn. I’ll show you little known rituals and ways to claim back time in a chaotic world. You’re going to love this. So go on. Dare a little and gift your child the greatest gift ever—more of the real YOU.
I SEEM TO START A LOT OF THINGS AND NEVER FINISH THEM, HOW WILL THIS BE ANY DIFFERENT?
Because I have a proven method that leaves no one behind. Even if you wanted to, I wouldn’t let you give up.
Oh no sweet mama. When we decide to work together we’re bonded, like glue, only with less sticky residue.
I’m going to help you figure this out, one step at a time.
LIFE COACHING IS FOR OTHER PEOPLE, NOT FOR ME.
Is it, really? I’m curious, what prompted you to think like this?
Is it because you don’t believe in yourself?
Is it because you don’t think you deserve to be fully happy and fulfilled?
Or is it because you’re attaching a stigma to life coaching, thinking that it’s some kind of shrink work?
Look, it doesn’t matter why you’re thinking that way. What matters is that you either believe you deserve and can live on purpose or you don’t. And this is the beauty of this work, the beauty of the benefits of taking a risk.
You have to be willing to take this first step!
Still have questions? Then let’s jump on a call and talk through them! I would love to meet you.
Ready to regain control of your time and energy so you can live Happy & Whole?

Before working with Karen I had never worked with a coach before, so I wasn’t totally familiar with the experience. Plus there are hesitations to opening up to someone you don’t know. I figured there was nothing to lose by trying it. What I was doing on my own wasn’t getting me out of my funk. Working with Karen has helped give me more confidence to work on my dreams.
It was nice to have someone in my corner who was very supportive and helped me envision my next steps in creative ways. I don’t think I realized how important it would be to me to simply have someone who was so positive and encouraging to discuss my ideas and issues. It was important to have someone who kept pushing me to work through stuff, keeping me accountable with processing my ideas and moving forward.
Karen is an incredibly supportive, warm and genuine person. Some of the activities involved examining ideas or emotions in creative ways that I wouldn’t normally do to process things in my life. I think it could be unsettling to try new exercises to process one’s thoughts or experiences, but I never felt judged or unsafe.

Before signing up to work with Karen I wasn’t sure it was going to be truly beneficial and my work schedule is demanding, so I was a little hesitant about finding the time.
I noticed I am all over the place in all I want to do, create, learn, achieve and be. But Karen provided direction to my ever-changing focus. Her homework required me to think outside of the sessions. It held me accountable to the process. And of course, the conversations with Karen and her insightful input were great.
Working with Karen was positive and beneficial. I always felt more focused and uplifted after our sessions. Karen is an incredibly warm, insightful and non- judgmental which creates a space for growth.
I would definitely recommend Karen, because she will gently push you to work on what you desire and offer new perspectives. Each session was a valuable takeaway that made me think about something in a new way. She also made me feel more confident after our sessions.

Karen is my go-to expert when it comes to simplifying all the crazy that runs through my head. To-do lists, projects, mindset shifts, you name it … Karen knows how to sort through the information overload and cut right to the chase of what I need to do vs. what’s just a shiny distraction. She’s gifted at asking the right questions, in the right way, to help me trim my to-do list and finally grant myself the permission to stop doing everything and being everything to everyone.
The level of support Karen gives her clients is unparalleled for a coach today. She’s present on the calls, available by email and there when the life stuff comes up too. This, regardless of the other benefits, is what made the investment to work with her more than worth it
