I am Karen Delgado, a 42 year old mother of three, a writer and life enthusiast. I am a Life, Health, Job & Career Development Coach, and owner of Resilient Phoenix Coaching. I am an advocate for vulnerable populations like domestic violence, re-entry and mental health. My passion lies in the fulfillment of watching others reach their desired potential.
I am no stranger to mental illness. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety at six. At 16, I was diagnosed with OCD and body dysmorphia. My journey has been one of many ups and downs, from trauma to suicidal ideation. Today, with my story, I empower others on their own road to recovery.
Being a Off The Mask Model has given me another opportunity to show myself, and others that recovery is in fact possible. I will confirm the message of empowerment I instill in those I encounter. It has also given me the chance to give back to an organization and community that has played a major role in my life, since my mother volunteered for NAMI when she was getting on her feet after an abusive marriage. This opportunity highlights that my illness will never define ME!
