Dr. Karin Anderson Abrell
Meet Dr. Karin Anderson Abrell. Author, psychologist and host of Love & Life podcast. She’s a woman on the move to empower others in a number of ways. How many of us will admit to living a life that wasn’t a part of our vision? Let’s face it, that happens and it takes strength to stand in your truth as well as finding your own voice. Abrell, certainly found her voice and enjoys motivating her listeners by sharing personal experiences and more.
“As a former professor, there would be so many times, I would be giving a lecture to my students. I was teaching grad students, people who wanted to become counselors, and I was like this is such great information but everyone should know about this,” expressed Abrell who said the podcast became a platform for her to take some of the information she used to teach and share it with everybody.
The theme of the podcast is taking charge of your thoughts and life which is all grounded in cognitive therapy. “We all know it’s not what happens to us externally, it’s how we process it, how we respond internally. That’s where our power is! We can't control what's going on outside but we can control what’s going on inside and in our minds,” said Abrell.
She also focuses on relationships, love, dating, marriage, parenting, psychology and therapy. In fact, she spends a lot of time on relationships and weaves in lessons from her personal life. “We see the younger generation coming up and we just want to grab those younger women and say don’t make the same mistakes I did. The things you experience, the things you’re feeling, we are all experiencing,” said Abrell, author of Single is the New Black: Don't Wear White ‘Til It’s Right.
Abrell who’s now happily married is currently working on a new book to share with her audience. In the meantime, she opens up about when she found HerVoice and how others can do the same.
