Worldwide Karen Jacobsen is known for her voice – the voice of female Australian SIRI or GPS Karen. She’s been heard on 400 million GPS and smart-enabled devices and today she’s a successful motivational speaker, singer/songwriter, and author.

But the road to success was trickier than you might image shortly after Karen’s voice began appearing on our smartphones she ran into her own, real-life “Recalculating,” moment and needed to find her way back. In her own words, “It’s never too late to recalculate.”
