Karen Batchelor

Karen Batchelor is a 57 year old lawyer and former corporate exec from Michigan who climbed down the ladder of success in midlife to get in sync again with her life purpose and values.  On what she calls her "midlife trip", Karen found the road leading to a fulfilling next chapter of life as a certified professional coach.  She dedicates her coaching practice to supporting women as they deal with the career and personal challenges of midlife. 

Karen is a "newbie" in the world of blogging.  Little more than a year ago, she staked out a little corner of the blogosphere and rolled out the welcome mat to Midlife's A Trip.  Most days you can find her there writing with candor and humor about all things midlife and then some.  She is contributing editor on midlife issues at BlogHer and also writes at Midlifebloggers.  When Karen pries her fingers from the keyboard, she loves to garden, knit and hang out with her 4-year-old niece.
