Kara & Caleb's Journeys to Finding Themselves, Then Each Other

Kara and Caleb's journeys were similar in that they were both working on themselves in order to make space for the right person to come into their lives. One of the keys in that was for them to accept their lives where they were at that moment. Caleb describes it as a journey of where you are, accepting it and a journey of letting go. It's about acceptance of your life and that if it were to never change, being ok with that.

Kara and Caleb attended the same writing workshop together and on day 1, Kara had decided she was content with her life as it was and Caleb opened up to everyone by crying. Both knew that they had to trust that the universe was for them and that being vulnerable would allow for inner healing.

Caleb's former life involved the NFL, but it had not been about the NFL. It had been a time of finding significance. Looking back, he realizes that by looking for significance, he wonders when he was actually robbed of it in the first place, needing to search for it.

Living A Life Unattached To "Things"

As most couples do, Kara and Caleb have discussed money. Neither of them have felt it was a priority because it's always been taken care of, but money is something we want to control, hold onto and figure out. The same can be said about eating disorders. It's not about the food, but about feeling safe and in control. Both are used as coping mechanisms. Kara and Caleb don't want to live life attached to "things" or things looking a certain way, whether it's relationships, money or anything else.

The Importance Of Finding Value & Giving Value

Value begets value. Caleb shares that every time you give value, value will be returned to you, therefore you can make amazing things happen every single day by what you do. In order to bring value, you need to come from a place of operating out of the present and with a want to continuously grow and evolve.

Caleb and Kara have done the inner work and healing and want to offer it externally, which is why they launched their new podcast. It's not about finding answers in life, but about asking the right questions. Every question leads to the journey of answering that question.

Are you asking the right questions of yourself?
