Karen Chaston


Karen Chaston is the co-founder of Live Love By Design, beyond loss mentor and international keynote speaker who has shared the stage with Marianne Williamson, Jamie-Lee Curtis, Valerie Harper and Dr Ellie Drake.

She is the author of eight books and numerous e-books as well as an online TV show host and podcaster.

In her corporate career Karen was a Chief Financial Officer of NLG Ltd and a senior manager for more than 25 years. She maintains her C.P.A. status.

In July 2011, Karen’s life changed forever when her 27-year-old son, Dan, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away at her back door.

Within 15 months, Karen resigned from her CFO role and began a personal, professional and spiritual journey culminating in her becoming a beyond loss expert and co-founding her business: Live Love By Design.

Karen’s first-hand experience assisted in her creating the Beyond Loss programs, retreats (both physical and virtual) which demonstrate the correlations between loss and people and profits for both individuals and companies.

Karen not only challenges the status quo by asking “Is there room in the modern workplace to be more human?” she provides tangible solutions that will help them to make the best possible product, offer the best possible customer experience and build the strongest possible company.

Her motto: “Life is too short to be suffering from any kind of loss, unwrap the gift this has brought and then design a life that you live and love.”
