In this episode, we get into how gratitude can be the catalyst to alchemizing your pain by leading you to presence. She is the single most penetrating medicine I've engaged with on my healing journey, and continue to utilize her when times are tough.

The practice of finding the "bless" in situations where it seems there are none, IS the medicine that will lead you to a happier and healthier life. Gratitude is the train that leads you to love and love is the ultimate healer.

Where in your life could you use a little but of grace and a lot more gratitude?

What if you stopped asking for permission?

What if you let yourself be seen?

What if you let your light shine?

This week, I'm reflecting on the Summer Solstice, launching my new YouTube series (How to Be with Cara G.), ugly crying to the Earth, Wind & Fire documentary, and the realization that love, gratitude, and creativity don't just connect us to each other. They connect us to something bigger.

This conversation turned into a love letter to your inner spark. Your life force. The part of you that lights up when you're in flow. The part of you that's dying to be expressed.

Maybe gratitude is the medicine.

Maybe your "too muchness" is the medicine.

Maybe the world needs your light exactly as it is.

✨ In this episode:

• Launching How to Be with Cara G.
• Summer Solstice energy and stepping into your light
• Why love transcends the human experience
• Fear of being seen, too much, or misunderstood
• Creativity, life force energy, and flow
• Letting go of shame and self-rejection
• A letter to your inner light
• Why the world needs your gifts

What if you loved yourself?

What if you stopped shrinking?

What if you let yourself burn bright?

In this episode, we're talking diaries (not journals... diaries, lol), Costa Rica daydreams, Gemini season whimsy, plant mom energy, surviving adulthood, and the question that's been following me around lately:

Who would you be if you were free?

Free from shame.

Free from fear.

Free from everyone else's expectations.

Who are you underneath all the pressure to perform, produce, and prove yourself?

This isn't about becoming a "better" version of you. It's about remembering the version of you that already exists beneath the noise.

We get into:

✨ Why diaries have changed my life

✨ Looking back at old versions of yourself with compassion

✨ Returning to rituals that make you feel like you

✨ Costa Rica dreams and freedom fantasies

✨ The difference between success and alignment

✨ The question that might change everything: Who are you when you're free?

Maybe your soul already knows the answer.

I'm baaaaaack!

Welcome to Season Threee! In this life update episode, I'm catching you up on everything that's been unfolding behind the scenes. Turning 31. Moving in with my parents. Traveling abroad. Learning Spanish. Questioning everything. Trusting myself more than ever.

Lately, I've been sitting with a simple question:

What if it was never that serious?

What if we stopped gripping so tightly? What if we released the pressure to perform, achieve, optimize, heal perfectly, or have it all figured out?

We're talkin' perfectionism, creativity, entrepreneurship, spirituality, financial freedom, consuming vs. creating, and the quiet realization that maybe life gets better when we stop trying so hard to control it...?

If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, this episode is your reminder that play might be the medicine.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ Turning 31 and embracing a new chapter

✨ Why "burning down your life" isn't always a bad thing

✨ The magic of children and wonder

✨ Entrepreneurship, pressure, and creative freedom

✨ Learning Spanish and expanding your world

✨ Spirituality, astrology, and trusting your intuition

✨ Consuming less and creating more

✨ Why perfectionism keeps us stuck

✨ Following curiosity instead of forcing outcomes

✨ The power of play, presence, and self-trust

You are not behind.

You do not need to have it all figured out.

You might just need a little more room to play.

In this episode of Perfection Unfolding, I’m pulling back the curtain on three spiritual truths about love that I’ve come to know in my bones as universally true. These aren’t lofty concepts—they’re embodied lessons that have shifted the way I see myself, my relationships, and the world around me.

We’ll dive into:

✧ Why love is the essence of who you are

✧ How fear isn’t the opposite of love—it’s just the absence of it

✧ Why love + light are the ultimate guides back to truth

This isn’t about being “special” or having all the answers. It’s about remembering the love that’s already inside you, waiting to be embodied and shared. If you’ve ever wondered how to return home to yourself, this conversation is for you.

This week on Perfection Unfolding, I get real about what it feels like to hit a wall, feeling misunderstood, lonely, and burnt out from performing friendship and people-pleasing. I share how not caring for myself has me feeling resentful and unseen, and how I’m reclaiming my energy with the 20/20/20 rule: 20 minutes of automatic journaling, 20 minutes of movement, and 20 minutes of learning every morning.

This practice changed my life before, and now I’m challenging myself to 30 days of intentional self-care to see what unfolds in my body, mind, and soul. If you’ve ever felt run down or unseen, this episode is your invitation to pause, reset, and choose yourself again.

What if your next breakthrough comes dressed as a breakdown? In this episode, I get real about the messy in-between: the rage, the resentment, the confusion that hits right in the middle of a life level-up. I talk about what it feels like to be stretched thin while trying to be everything to everyone—and how self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, and emotional whiplash show up when we’re growing fast. This one’s raw. It’s a love letter to the version of you that’s still figuring it out, still showing up, and still healing, even when it looks like chaos.

If you’ve ever found yourself people-pleasing, chasing perfection, fearing abandonment, or struggling to feel worthy—this episode is for you.

In this foundational chapter of our Inner Child Mini-Series, I guide you back to the root: the part of you that was pure curiosity, joy, and love before the world handed you shame, rejection, and unmet needs.

We’ll unpack how the emotional wounds of childhood shape our adult behaviors, beliefs, relationships, and nervous systems—and how returning to your inner child is the most loving thing you can do for yourself.

This is a tender and powerful reclamation of your wholeness. A remembering. A return.
