Meet Your Hosts
Karen Chaston
Karen Chaston is a business owner, 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 nine books, including the international best selling “Demystifying Loss” and numerous e-books.
In her corporate career Karen was a C.P.A., a Chief Financial Officer of a publicly listed company and a senior manager for more than 25 years.
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 The Chaston Centre.
Karen’s first-hand experience assisted in her creating The Chaston Centre’s retreats and programs (delivered physically and virtually) which demonstrate the correlations between people, loss and all areas of your life.
When individuals embrace these concepts: you will easily move beyond any kind of loss and create a better everyday life.
When companies embrace these concepts: they unlock the People and Profits Connection. Providing tangible solutions that will help them to challenge the status quo by asking “Is there room in the modern workplace to be more human?” Providing tangible solutions that will assist them to make the best possible product, offer the best possible customer experience and build the strongest possible company.
Lesley Benson Devas Being Divas Founder.
Lesley is an intuitive transformation coach, healer and mystic.
As a teenager, her grandmothers recognised her ability to see and assist others with issues that were affecting their every day life. They suggested to their friends to speak with Lesley.
This lead to the development of what has now become Lesley’s practice.
In between then and now Lesley has followed a more conventional healing modality of healing in dentistry but her ability to see and hear what was being said and often what wasn’t, lead to Lesley realising her gift lie in being a co-facilitator of creating more fulfilling lives with people.
Like a lot of women (and men) Lesley has found life sends many curve balls and the path isn’t a straight line. Through her own journey of love, loss and finding herself again she has found her own toolbox of skills, rituals and daily practices that she shares with others to be the creator of the life that best suits them.
In 2019 Devas was born to facilitate both women and men who wanted time to go on retreat for themselves and explore the things and places in their lives they had always wanted to do; the bucket list trip but never did because there wasn’t anyone around them who wanted to go.
Mexico, Europe were visited and then the world changed.
Devas are now planning to revisit Mexico, Spain and the U.K. spending time discovering you and visiting those places that have until now been a dream.
