Today’s Productivity Stack: Kara Payton

This week's Productivity Stack comes from Kara Payton.

Kara Payton has learned to use crises and pivotal experiences in her life to lead her to new opportunities. She didn’t have an easy start, coming from an unstable home, growing up a troubled teen, and getting involved in an abusive relationship as a young adult. After the end of a seemingly perfect marriage, she had to rebuild her life and find a new path forward.

Find out how she steered into the field of personal development to build a unique coaching practice that brings together everything she has learned from her own journey to healing trauma and finding happiness. She tells us about the challenges of building this new business and how she overcame them with the help of systems, tools, and people.

Check out the challenges she faced, her detailed solutions, and swipe her Productivity Stack in our interview case study.
