What Would Happen If You Couldn’t Fail? with Karen Ansen
2025-10-14
Getting what you want isn’t always about asking for more. Sometimes it starts with unlearning everything that told you not to.
Karen Ansen didn’t follow the traditional career path. She became a lawyer in her 40s, built her own firm, and now advises boards and executives across Australia. However, the real transformation occurred when she stopped waiting for permission and began trusting her own voice. In this episode, we discuss how she built confidence from scratch, navigated self-doubt, and created a career aligned with her values, rather than someone else’s expectations.
If you've ever thought “I’m not ready” or “I’m not sure I can,” this conversation will show you what’s possible when you stop playing small and start negotiating for the life you actually want.
