The Sacred Pause and Journeying Through Seasons

In this reflective solo episode, Kara returns to the podcast after an intentional pause to reconnect and share the season that led her to step back. She reflects on the transition from a long chapter of healing following her 2018 accident, describing how moving through this time has felt much like the unfolding stages of a season—each holding its own grief, wisdom, and integration. Drawing inspiration from time spent walking in the autumn woods, Kara explores the beauty of honoring life’s natural rhythms and recognizing the quiet transitions that signal when one season is completing and another is beginning.

She also shares an invitation into a new chapter of creation through ⁠The Book Journey⁠, a community space where listeners can walk alongside her as she writes and brings her next book into form. This episode is an honest check-in, a heartfelt reflection on endings and beginnings, and an invitation to grow together, even through the pauses.
