I HELP PEOPLE RECLAIM THEIR LIVES...

Hi! I’m Karine Nissim, a serial entrepreneur and an award-winning writer, speaker, and podcaster committed to championing growth and healing after trauma.

After the unexpected loss of my late husband, my idyllic life of a startup power couple and young mother of three turned upside down.  Shattered and ill equipped to take care of our children and navigate the mountain of administrative, legal and financial challenges of being a young widow, I started sharing my emotional journey online. 

 

Countless messages flooded in, with their own stories of grief.  Fueled by this connection, I felt inspired to help others in their journeys of healing and launched DayNew, a trauma support platform and social network for challenges  like loss, divorce, illness and personal growth.  

I’ve been a tech founder of several disruptive startups including the pet sitting platform, DogVacay, which merged with Rover and went public in 2021 and Shmask, the viral fashion hit featured on the Today Show in 2020. In addition to a full family life, speaking, writing and running DayNew, I love to offer private coaching for widows, start up consults and partnerships for content and event collaboration.

It’s been my greatest honor to connect with so many as we grow together.  With every passing day, and in my darkest hours, I’ve felt called to shine light at the darkness and normalize the conversation around grief and trauma.  Join me as we collectively heal and chart the course towards post-traumatic growth…together.

"Hearing Karine speak is more than just an inspiring experience—it’s a call to action. She challenges you to rethink how you face hardship and how you can use your own struggles to create something meaningful. Her workshops provide not just healing but a sense of empowerment, and her work with DayNew is changing lives. Her impact on the YPO community has been profound, and I know her message will continue to uplift and inspire many more."

 

Katie Rhodes, Young Presidents Organization

"Karine is an incredible speaker gifted with knowing exactly the right words to say when supporting someone through tragedy and conveying a path to moving forward. Her ability to articulate compassion and understanding is truly remarkable. Karine's kindness, love, and strength comes through in her speech and inspires others to be their best selves."

Amanda Adler, The Greater Miami Jewish federation 

“Karine doesn’t just tell her story—she gives people the tools to rewrite their own. Through her clear presentation, she shows that trauma does not have to define us but can be a catalyst for growth. I’ve seen firsthand how she moves audiences, including members of Strategic Forum, with her powerful message of resilience and purpose. She speaks from the heart, and her words stay with you long after she leaves the stage.”

Alana Oxfeld, Strategic Forum, CA
