In this deeply personal conversation, Karlsson opens up about her unique upbringing, from her parents' whirlwind romance (her hippie mom who joined the circus meeting her Swedish dad who was 10 years younger) to navigating life as the child of divorce across multiple countries and cultures.
We dive into how a random acting class in Colorado at age 12-13 became the catalyst that changed everything - leading to her move to LA and the beginning of an incredible creative journey. Karlsson shares how early acting work became a form of self-help and authenticity training during those crucial tween years.
This episode is about resilience, creativity, family relationships, and the power of saying yes to unexpected opportunities. You'll be inspired by Karlsson's story of growth, artistic evolution, and personal healing.
What we cover:

Growing up in a multicultural family across multiple countries
The serendipitous path into acting and entertainment
Creating meaningful documentary work about voting rights
Family reconciliation and personal growth
