Karen Eddington

Meet Karen C. Eddington:

Mother, CEO, Motivational Speaker, Author/Illustrator

Karen is the author and illustrator of the book “Today, I Live… A Gift of Peace for Girls at any Age.” She wrote the book after women were making countless requests for her resources on self worth. Karen has interviewed thousands of women, with her passion this education being traced back to her high school and college experience in the cheerleading industry. She felt intense pressure to be thin, to look a certain way, and to perform to be accepted. These emotions motivated her to reach out to others feeling similar pressure. Karen focused her college thesis on Eating Disorder and Body Image education where she researched over 500 high school students. Her efforts were then focused on teen leadership as she coached high school cheerleading for a number of years. She led her 2005 team to be named the “top all around program in the nation” with features at UCA nationals and on ESPN (Varsity Spirit Corporations American School Spirit Award- www.varsity.com).

Karen has a passion for business and communication principals. As an instructor of Marketing and Entrepreneurship she helped students interactively learn about creating competitive advantages while keeping focus on win-win strategic alliances. In 2006, Karen decided to apply her entrepreneurial instruction and created the non-profit organization, Cauliflower Retreat. In just two years, Cauliflower Retreat increased participants by 20 fold, and established on-going partnerships and networks in the community. Karen is the C.E.O. of the organization and feels her best moments are when she is, “sitting right there on the floor, talking about the difficulties of self esteem with our mentoring participants.”

Karen shares, “Many women in careers, in the home, and in the community are going through life without truly understanding how remarkable they are. If we can build an awareness of why it is hard for us to be confident… if we truly give ourselves a chance… if we can recognize our gifts and talents, we will change the world.”

Her passion for leadership and living life to the fullest is inspiring women across the nation. Her most requested presentation is “Today, I Live…Finding Peace at any Age.” She is energetic, genuine and funny. Some of you may be picturing Karen in wonder woman spandex, holding a glowing corporate report, and a homemade loaf of bread… however, Karen often introduces you to her arch nemesis of “Super Woman” and can help you understand why we are all wonder women.

If you were to look inside Karen's home, you would likely see her dancing like a robot with her 4 year old son and baby girl. She is married to Cory Eddington.
