Veronica Karaman

Author, speaker, certified life-coach, and golf professional, Veronica Karaman’s passion is helping people to discover their true self and to live powerfully from that place.

Veronica uses her gift of intellect, humor, and champion mindsets from sports to bring out the best in people. “I believe there is a true champion in everyone. Being a champion is not a trophy you achieve, but an identity you realize and walk out daily. The most powerful life is one lived from a true sense of self.”

A graduate of Duke University and Regent University, Veronica speaks from her education, extensive training in sports performance, and her own personal quest to be a champion. She knows the highs of playing in the U.S. Open and the lows of battling chronic fatigue for over 17 years. The death of her father at age 15 fueled a life-long journey of self-discovery. She was led out of the lie of believing her worth was in her golf score, and into the freedom of knowing her priceless worth separate from performance--rather, as a child of God. She later reached out to her dying mother at age 85 to reconcile a life-long estrangement. Together they enjoyed a perfect friendship on the golf course which led to a seven year extension of her mother’s life, who died her best friend. Veronica now shares with others the transformational relationship dynamics she uncovered from her quest for intergenerational reconciliation.
