If you're here, you're probably looking for a bio, a headshot, or a better idea of what I bring to the table. You're in the right place.

I'm Karen Kossow, a writer, certified master coach, founder of AI Powered Homeschool, and parent of two amazing neurodivergent kids.

I blend storytelling, strategy, and real-world experience to support neurodivergent and homeschooling families.

Through writing, coaching, and public speaking, I help parents shift from survival mode to a more resilient, sustainable lifestyle…one small, powerful step at a time.

I was featured in a front-page article of The New York Times on September 24, 2025…

And interviewed on CNN’s The Situation Room!
