Karen Moyer:
Karen Moyer is co-founder of The Moyer Foundation, a Seattle-based non-profit organization dedicated to helping children in distress, both locally and nationwide, through Camp Erin™ - a nationwide network of bereavement camps for grieving children. She is a mother of seven children, a board member for numerous health and children’s organizations, the owner of “Go Legs,” a cycling studio in Seattle, and the manager of Magnolia Baseball, a youth baseball organization. In this 1:1 she offers insight into how she maintains the balance and achieves success in so many different realms.

• Don’t let yourself get overwhelmed. Look at the tasks for the next day the night before and figure out a plan and a way to get through tomorrow’s agenda. Take one day at a time.
• Strive to live each day with purpose and meaning. Every day I set a goal of getting the most out of that day because I realize tomorrow is not guaranteed.
• Take time to re-focus and think about what is important. I occasionally step back and look at the faces of the children we help every day at The Moyer Foundation…that alone becomes motivation and inspiration for a work/life balance.
