Honoring a Rebel Leader

We call them Blueprint Breakers, Karin Lynn Bellantoni calls them Rebel Leaders. It doesn’t matter which term you use, Karin is the epitome of both.

I am re-releasing this episode of Blueprint Breakers - to honor and say goodbye to an amazing and powerful woman. A woman who took life by the horns- lived it fully & deeply impacted everyone who knew her.

Karin was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer back in 2019, and you would never know it by this interview I was honored to have with her last summer. She left us on December 25th and her friends & family laid her to rest on Jan 2nd.

I will likely speak more in a future episode about her legacy and the personal impact Karin had on me, but for the moment- take in her story. It is jam packed with lessons and even if you listened to it when it first came out, it is worth a second listen.

***************************************************************

What does a full and dynamic life look like when you don't follow a traditional path? This episode takes an in-depth look at my friend and colleague, Karin Bellantoni's, path thus far. During this very personal and transparent conversation, we discuss marriage, divorce, motherhood, career pivots, rebel leadership, and more. Karin is a powerful example of how to face extreme challenges head on- whether that be surviving more than one armed bank robbery or a stage four cancer diagnosis. Karin has loved fully, traveled the world, and built an impressive business and life. We talk about what it means to be a nurturing guide, mentoring and influencing the generations coming up and the intricacies of this generation as we progressed from the early days of career women to the opportunities in front of us today. You will find Karin's story captivating, intriguing and thought provoking, especially as it relates to our theme here at Blueprint Breakers: There is more than one way to do life.
