I am so excited to get my Expert Coaching certificate in the mail!!š
Itās so gratifying to have a proven transformational framework that I can use to truly transform lives!! š
TESTIMONIAL
I have been working with Karen Lyu as my life coach. Her approach is clear, concise, and easy to understand. Karen gently guides you through thought-provoking questions. She skillfully guides you to look from a different perspective. Mentally and emotionally.
In the past, I just survived. On autopilot. Not really living. Relationships were challenging. I was depressed.
After working with Karen, I feel that I can face difficulties. I feel a competence, an ability to handle life and be involved in it.
In the past, I lived in survival mode. Doing just enough. Not really engaging much. Reacting to everything and nothing. A living stress ball.
Now I am more present in my life. I am actively engaged taking care of my body and my emotions. I have a different perspective. I take responsibility for my actions. I have a change of perspective. I make different choices today because Karen has helped me to see and understand that today I have choices.
I am calmer and more peaceful. I catch the negative thoughts, situations, and interactions and make the choice for what is best for me. I am more in touch with who I am.
My creativity has returned. I am singing. I have new ideas. I want to try new things.
I thank you, Karen, for your guidance. I am finally living my life instead of surviving it.

Hi Creative Explorers,
Itās been a long time since my last New Choice Game update.
After fairly average points and no placement from the 2025 Cardboard Edison Board Game Contest, and no placement or comments from the 44th Annual Boulogne-Billancourt International Board Game Designers Competition in France, after working late nights to create a 5.0 version of my New Choice Game updateā¦
I got discouraged.
I just wasnāt inspired to work on it anymore.
So, I took a break.
But now, the spark is back - and not only am I doing Joe Slackās Board Game Creation to Publication Courseā¦
ā¦my New Choice: Improv Your Life! Google Workspace version of my board game will be available for publishers, designers, and playtesters at:

I first met Karen through some Zoom meetings and got to meet her in person at a creativity workshop we attended in 2021. For one of the activities during that week she and I were given a half-hour to collaborate with a singer-songwriter, the assignment was to write a commercial jingle.
I stayed connected to her through social media and was glad that she reached out to me last year about integrated mindset coaching; her advice has been helpful and the conversations have been fun. So far, weāve had four online sessions. If you donāt think of yourself as a creative person, she will help you feel empowered to take action. She can help you rediscover the joy you might have had as a child ā making stuff for the fun of it.
Karen understands and appreciates my creative brain. She is a good listener and offers great ideas.
While trying to write a sentence to close this review I realized I was probably paraphrasing advice from writer Kurt Vonnegut, so I looked it up:
āSing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created somethingā.
