LONG BIO
Karen Stiggers is the Founder of PayurSelf1st; a company that empowers women to take control of their finances by taking care of themselves first. Karen started her first business at age 12 by saving her allowance and doing odd jobs for neighbors. She began going door to door selling decorative air freshers in the neighborhood. When she sold out of product in one day a mini-entrepreneur was born.

This gave her a sense of control when everything around her was falling apart.
Her life had not been easy and finding ways to overcome childhood and adult tragedies took a toll on her physically, mentally, spiritually.
