After having an epiphany about her purpose and destiny during prayer, God showed Karen her business in a vision, including the name.  Karen removed the "golden handcuffs" as an award-winning sales producer for Xerox Corporation, resisted fear and took the leap of faith to start her dream business – Rocket 2 Freedom, a motivational company.

 

Karen’s shift also led to her writing her first book, Pray Now: A Guide To A Richer Prayer Life during this pressure-filled time.
