EP 132: How To Use Karma To Transform Your Life With Pat Miller
About this episode
We had a great conversation with Pat Miller this week! Despite suffering significant personal losses, including her mother, siblings, and husband, she has shown remarkable resilience and humor. Her story of strength and perseverance is chronicled in her award-winning, best-selling book "Kicking Karma's Ass," which details her professional and personal comeback. Miller's success and spirit exemplify her ability to not only survive but to flourish in the face of adversity. “A lot of people think karma is this thing where you’ve done something wrong, so something bad happens to you as a result. Basically, you get what you deserve. Wayne Dyer says, ‘How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.’ And that’s how I look at it - you are responsible for you.”
In 2013, her eldest brother died unexpectedly. The following year her mother died and her husband was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. Then her father passed away in 2015 and the final blow was her husband succumbing to cancer in 2016. “It was the darkest hours of my life. I was literally in a daze and running on automatic pilot. The pain of those losses was unfathomable. But, I turned that anger at all of the losses into a determination to succeed. I had two sons to think about.”
“Looking back on my personal and professional journey,...I was inspired…to write my book. I needed to make sense of all of my grief and wanted to inspire others who feel totally alone in restarting their lives. I decided to be vulnerable in telling my story – telling the whole truth, as raw as it might be. People need to know that personal transformation isn’t scary, but the circumstances behind them might be. And it’s okay. It’s all new territory, so it’s normal to be nervous. Don’t let that stop you. Ask for guidance. Look for signs. Follow the nudges. Whatever you are called to do, IS FOR YOU. For me that meant refusing to feel like a victim. I spent long nights, meditating and contemplating why such losses happened to me. I knew there had to be a reason why. I often say my husband was such a selfless man in his death. It allowed me to become the woman I was destined to be. I couldn't allow his death to be all negative. I had to find the positive. And that’s how I started to rebrand, reinvent and rebuild.”
Pat’s ebook will be available for 99 cents starting later this week for the next two weeks for our listeners. It's also available free to those who are Kindle Unlimited subscribers.
