It is a gift she has acquired from her varied experiences as a nurse, teacher, writer, talk-show hostess and nationally renowned grief therapist. If one sentence characterizes the message of her speeches, it is her slogan: "Life is not a dress rehearsal."
"Everyday," she tells audiences, "you should have at least one exquisite moment."

Enjoy Life: This is Not a Dress Rehearsal
Calling on her 40 years of experience as a grief therapist she will utilize personal anecdotes to remind the listeners to find the exquisite moments in each day. Dr. Karioth will show us how to distinguish between minor and major events. She will encourage us, as an alternative to compassion fatigue, to internalize compassion energy that allows us to not be overwhelmed by observing others suffering but to be energized by helping alleviate that suffering. Dr. Karioth will remind all of us that our work is to help the helpless, to care when we can't cure and to be grateful not only for the lives we touch but the lives that touch us.
