Karla began her career in the City
of Los Angeles, where she quickly became aware of the scale of challenges
that large, diverse communities face. She learned how to address needs by best
utilizing what was already available and, during her tenure, helped to provide
women, youth, and families with programming that increased financial literacy,
education, and economic opportunities. Karla’s ability to pinpoint trauma and
develop strategic solutions would serve as the launching pad to her own
coaching program, Unbraided Life (www.unbraidedlife.com).
A survivor of abuse herself, Karla
is passionate about leveraging her skills to help others overcome their past.
She specializes in guiding women to discover their God-given purpose through
honest self-reflection, application of biblical principles, and her
one-of-a-kind 7 Steps Toward Healing framework.
Karla is a certified Mending the
Soul support group facilitator, but it’s her almost two decades of experience
in community and economic development that make her programming practical,
unique, and transformational.

Vulnerable,
courageous, and deeply personal, Unbraided: Transform Your Pain Into Power
and Purpose, will help you to identify the areas of your life that are
being affected by abuse and provide a
path for you to experience breakthrough
and healing.
Karla
Monterrosa experienced physical, emotional, and sexual abuses early in her
life. She was able to take those negative experiences and use them as fuel to
propel her forward for a time, accomplishing personal, educational, and
professional successes. Eventually, within the stresses and pressures of
marriage and motherhood, her scars became utterly exposed. She realized that
her past was beginning to harm her family in the present, and it was then she
chose to take courageous steps to heal from abuse—to become the woman, wife,
and mother they deserve.
If you’re
ready to experience healing from abuse, Unbraided will help you get
healthy emotionally and spiritually so you can cultivate the self-confidence
and courage needed to follow through to freedom. Learn how to deal with the
long-term effects of abuse—fear, shame, lack of trust, and anger—in order to
build strong relationships, enjoy intimacy, and experience joy.
Using
thought-provoking journaling exercises, biblical principles, and her
one-of-a-kind 7 Steps Toward Healing framework, Karla will gently guide you
through a journey of self-reflection and healing—while making it feel like an
intimate conversation with a trusted friend over coffee. Are you ready to step
forward into the life you desire with renewed energy, unshakeable confidence,
and purpose?
