Karen Fitzgerald has had a richly varied career as a keynote speaker, actress, singer, writer, mother, corporate consultant and former wife, who weaves all of that experience into her humorous tales about life and the spiritual journey.

When my adorable daughter wants to shake it up, either on the dance floor or in her life, she says, "Mom, I wanna bust a move." She gives the same advice to me, and like her, she knows I have busted many moves, including the move to New York City...
