Karina Duque - my story

Hi! I'm Karina!

Eternal Optimist, Romantic, Jersey Girl with Wanderlust, Spiritual Seeker, Happy Mom, and Wife. 

I am a true believer that we have the power to change our lives! If your life is not great, you can change it. It's never too late. (I'm a late bloomer).

Part of my mission and passion at KarinaDuque.com is to share information, inspire, educate, and entertain you with articles on how you can improve yourself and your life. 

I've been there, trust me. Crying, unhappy wondering why my life just wasn't moving along like I wanted it to. But I discovered how to make some changes in my mindset (first), and then taking one step at a time each day until, viola, it was another life ~ a life full of happiness, health, wealth, peace of mind, and travel. ALL of the things I had dreamed of. 

I'm not done yet. There's always something new to go after, but now I do it with excitement and eagerness, not struggle, sadness, or as a last resort. And you can do it, too. Let me show you how in this blog and podcast. 

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and working on my creative pursuits. I LOVE to travel, near and far, and I find lots of inspiration and personal development from it. I also enjoy trying new recipes (when the mood strikes) - and I especially enjoy sharing all this with you!

I'm originally a city girl, but I absolutely love/need to be in nature. My background is 100% Colombian. I'm a little bit fancy, a little bit ghetto. I speak English and Spanish, but mostly Spanglish. I'm passionate about helping people heal their past and live their best lives now.

Welcome and glad you're here!
XO,
Karina 

For years I had a blog called The Empress Woman. My Instagram name is still @theempresswoman. I love The Empress. Here's why:
