EMOTIONALLY WEALTHY PODCAST
High-Achieving. Emotionally Undernourished.
You Know How to Succeed
You’re smart, self-aware, and successful in so many areas of your life… but when it comes to relationships, something still doesn’t feel right.
You find yourself stuck in patterns — overgiving, holding back, or doubting your needs — and wondering why real connection feels so hard.
Emotionally Wealthy was created for people like you: high-achievers who are ready to stop performing in their relationships and start showing up fully — with confidence, clarity, and truth.
This podcast helps you heal what’s held you back, so you can finally feel seen, heard, and valued — by others, and most importantly, by yourself.

Why I Created This Podcast
Because I’ve been exactly where you are.
From the outside, my life looked polished — a thriving career, confidence in any room, the picture of “having it all together.”
But inside? I carried a quiet ache, longing to feel
seen while exhausting myself trying to meet everyone’s needs but my own.
I know what it’s like to shrink your truth, question your worth, and replay old patterns that leave you feeling stuck and misunderstood.
As a transformational coach and author, I help high-achieving, introspective people uncover the root of their relationship struggles and build the deep connections they crave, starting with themselves.

Tune into yourself and your relationships with presence and compassion for yourself. Create space between your triggers and your truth.
Break the cycle of people-pleasing. Learn how to say no with love, protect your peace, and stop abandoning yourself for others.
Harness your inner strength to bounce back from setbacks. Build emotional stamina rooted in self-trust and compassion.
Let go of the masks and start living from a place of truth. Lead with vulnerability, honesty, and the courage to be fully seen.
Move beyond surface-level interactions. Cultivate deep, meaningful relationships where you feel heard, valued, and emotionally safe.
Deepen your understanding of yourself and others. Approach every relationship—including the one with yourself—with warmth, patience, and grace.

"Working with Karen has been transformative! I didn't always believe in my resilience or strengths, and was afraid of change, which led me to negative self-talk and feeling stuck. It was hard to change my thoughts or be in a positive mindset. Karen challenged me to become more self-aware, and this clarity has helped me make more informed decisions, create healthier boundaries, and re-focus on myself and what I want in the future (both personally and professionally). I'm incredibly grateful for her insights, knowledge and tools. I highly recommend working with Karen Conlon."

"I first went to Karen’s office as an anxious, sad, mentally exhausted person. One year later, I truly am a new person. She shows you HOW to find your own way. I have regained the strength that I had forgotten I had within me, and have a serenity that I had never felt in my whole life. For all this, I am forever grateful to Karen."

Emotionally Wealthy Podcast
High achievement often comes at the cost of emotional connection.
Many high achievers feel successful on the outside but insecure in their closest relationships. When you’ve built your success by staying in control, anticipating others' needs, and pushing through discomfort, it can be hard to know what you actually feel or want because no one taught you how to stay connected to yourself while doing it.
“Emotionally Wealthy” is your space to pause the hustle and lean into your self-awareness so that you can create deeper, more fulfilling connections.
If you’ve mastered how to succeed but still feel unseen in your relationships, this podcast will help you do the inner work that changes everything.
A podcast for high achievers who want to feel more, connect deeper, and break old patterns.
