Playful Spirituality

What if the way to hold everything together is to loosen your grip and follow what feels a little lighter?

In this live reading, a client wonders how to best support her spouse while juggling work pressure, family (both here and in spirit), and the quiet sense that something meaningful is forming just out of view.

The guidance is simple and unexpected. Less forcing. More laughing. Fewer timelines. More nervous system soothing. Her partner is even stronger than she thinks. Her career isn’t stalled, it’s steeping. Even the dog has a role to play.

Loved ones step in with pride and perspective. A tribe gathers. Gifts begin to unwrap themselves.

Underneath it all, she is not behind, she is not alone, and she has far more support than she realizes.

In this special episode, you get a front row seat to listen to an actual intuitive reading.  Settle in for a dose of love, clarity, and insights as only non-physical can deliver it. 

    What if the swirling vortex in your mind isn’t chaos, but a doorway to clarity?

This live reading on the podcast begins with a person spiraling, in overwhelm…

Do you know this feeling?

Mental spinning.Too many thoughts.A sense of contraction.

As she moves through the session, something deeper reveals itself.

At one point she says:

“I’ve not been able to distinguish what is mine and what is not mine… everything feels like mine.”

That’s the moment everything shifts.

Because for many sensitive people, overwhelm isn’t just about workload.

It’s about nervous system entanglement.

It’s about carrying other people’s energy so consistently that you have no idea what your own baseline feels like.

Inside Master Your Magic, this is foundational.

Along with intuitive expansion.Along with developing gifts.Along with reading energy clearly.

We learn to separate.

What is mine.What is not mine.What I am responsible for.What I am not.

Then clearing away all that isn’t mine. 

From there, sovereignty returns.

The nervous system resets. The spinning slows to a rhythmic flow.Clarity rushes in.Capacity expands in an open hearted way.

A striking image of a spiral becomes the session’s quiet compass, suggesting that stillness and direction can emerge from the very center of the noise. Themes of rebirth, support, and creative momentum begin to surface, hinting that what feels destabilizing may actually be a transition into a more aligned phase.

What if lowering your inner dams and trusting your spiritual sled dogs could heal you?

In this special episode, Cara invites listeners into a live client session, offering a rare chance to hear intuitive energy work unfold in real time. 

As she helps her client release limiting beliefs and reconnect with joy, abundance, and self-worth, Cara reminds us that this kind of healing isn’t magic reserved for a few; it’s a learnable, natural process available to everyone.

Along the way, they explore the subtle dance between desire and surrender, and how trusting our own worth can open the flow of what we’ve been asking for all along. 

From career clarity to family dynamics and the tender art of letting life support us, Cara’s work touches every layer of being.

Listeners are invited to say “yes” to receive their own healing as they follow along with this open-hearted experiment in allowing energy to move and align.

Settle in for a dose of love, clarity, and insights as only non-physical can deliver it. 

If you’re ready to work with Cara and learn how to let far more support from the Universe into your life…

In this special episode, you get a front row seat to listen to an actual intuitive reading.  Settle in for a dose of love, clarity, and insights as only non-physical can deliver it. 

What if the heaviness you’ve been carrying isn’t even yours to hold?

During this live reading, Cara connects with a client navigating deep fatigue, pressure, and uncertainty after a season of major change. 

What unfolds suggests that the weight surrounding her, which felt immovable, may be far more fluid, shared, and shiftable than it first appears.

A curious invitation emerges as well: a small, playful detour that defies logic yet promises fresh energy and unexpected movement. As the session progresses, constriction gives way to spaciousness, and the possibility of relating to money, support, and daily life with more ease begins to come into view.

Rather than calling for a dramatic life change, the guidance points toward gentle unwinding, renewed steadiness, and the quiet return of lightness.

As you listen, notice what resonates in your body, what gives you that nudge feeling that it’s meant for you too.

In this special prelude to Playful Spirituality’s first-ever live psychic reading, Cara gives us insights about what really happens during a session. 

Bringing live readings to the podcast has been a dream of Cara’s since the beginning, in her words, 

“For over 20 years I’ve been doing readings and healings and the information that comes through is so loving, powerful, and sometimes so revolutionary that I can’t help but think ‘I wish other people had heard that!’ Now I get to make that dream come true.”

During a reading, information comes through in many forms…images, sensations, metaphors, words, or an instant knowing…and she translates what she receives as clearly as possible.  

Being a translator between non-physical and physical is something Cara takes very seriously, and her ultimate goal is always to help people reconnect to their own truth and learn how to hear it themselves.  

Her work moves between conscious interpretation and pure channeling, in this episode she explains what that feels like. 

Cara also shares a few favorite stories, like communicating with babies before birth and later seeing their personalities unfold exactly as described. These moments reveal how intuitive messages tend to feel familiar, as if confirming what we already sensed was true.

Listen in for this behind-the-scenes look at Cara’s process, and get ready for the next episode where she shares a live reading for the very first time.

Cara believes that everyone is psychic. Our higher selves are always sending guidance through intuition, gut feelings, and subtle signs that we often overlook.  

In her Intuitive Development Course - Master Your Magic she has spent nearly two decades teaching energy work tools and guiding people to connect to their own gifts and intuition and utilize them in daily life.

Brilliant Soul Gathering - Guest Speaker Cara Viana on Parenting Sensitive Kids

What if your child’s sensitivity is not a problem to solve but a superpower you can help them understand?

Cara shares surprising insights from her own upbringing and offers a fresh way to see intuition, overwhelm, and emotional intensity in children.

You will hear simple, practical ideas for recognizing when your child’s nervous system is getting full, how to help them come back to calm, and why playful tools like grounding, quiet time, and even a quick wiggle dance can make all the difference. Cara also explains how to guide kids in setting healthy energetic boundaries so their sensitivity feels like strength rather than overload.

This episode is a warm reminder that your presence and love matter more than anything, and that you are far from alone as you learn how to support the brilliant, sensitive soul in your home.

What if the darkest day of the year was an invitation more potent than you ever realized?

For this Winter Solstice episode, Cara sits down with her dear friend: Coach and Herbalist, Stephanie Burg to explore the quiet magic of this seasonal turning point, and the rituals it inspires. 

Stephanie shares how her work with somatics, trauma resolution, and plant medicine led her to shape her life and business around solstice archetypes, while Cara reflects on the unexpected lessons winter has taught her in both Hawaii and Colorado.

Together they talk about loving the dark, honoring deep rest, and stepping out of the January 1 hustle so you can move with nature’s actual rhythms. You’ll also hear simple, meaningful ways to welcome the return of light without turning it into a project.

Lastly, Stephanie shares highlights from her Winter Solstice Wellness and Rituals collection herbal support and deeper guidance.  Be sure to check out her herbal store at the links below. 

If you’re craving permission to slow your pace, reconnect with the season, and add a little wonder to the longest night, this conversation will feel like a gentle exhale.

What if becoming happier didn’t mean chasing bliss, but simply turning the dial up a notch or two?

In this special experiential episode, Cara invites you to take part in her Happier Workshop, a hands-on journey designed to help you feel about 15% happier, starting now. 

You’ll begin with a light, flexible meditation to tune into your body, breath, and surroundings, then move through a series of guided reflection prompts that invite you to write, notice, and shift. Each step helps re-frame stress, soften self-criticism, and strengthen your connection to what truly feels good. The session closes with a soothing guided energy healing that supports emotional balance, physical ease, and a deeper sense of self-alignment.

Cara shares practical tools for rewiring old mental loops (no perfection required), from journaling and bilateral tapping to re-framing negative thoughts as dashboard lights pointing you toward clarity. This workshop is a grounded reminder that happiness isn’t a destination, it’s a skill you can practice, play with, and expand one gentle percentage point at a time.

We often treat “purpose” like a finish line, tied to productivity, careers, or achievements. In this episode of Playful Spirituality, Cara welcomes healer and author Amy J. Hellman to explore a more playful, embodied way of living with purpose.

Amy shares her practice of “following her smiles” — letting her body’s authentic responses point the way toward clarity, joy, and fulfillment. Together, she and Cara reimagine purpose as something we are always creating, an intersection of passion, service, and presence rather than a job title or outcome.

They talk about:

• The in-between phases of life — career shifts, parenthood, identity changes — as fertile ground for curiosity and creation

• How unlearning productivity culture makes room for purpose as presence, even in something as simple as a genuine smile

• Seeing the unknown as a buffer zone for observation and gentle redirection

• Amy’s origin story of sudden hearing loss, the letter that changed everything, and how it led her to Theta Healing

Cara also reflects on her own identity shifts through leaving a long-term job and becoming a mother, and how disorienting transitions can be deeply transformative.

Amy closes with what’s next: her upcoming book Dump Reflections: Essays on Breaking Up, Breaking Down, and Recycling Yourself, and a course on direct communication with self, others, and Source.

This conversation is an invitation to let go of striving, follow your smiles, and discover purpose in the spaces in between.

Amy's Bio:

Amy J. is an educator, author, mother, and healing facilitator for students of all ages world-wide. Author of "An Instructor's Guide to Educating with Kindness and Leading with Love," and others, she believes in our human potential for great change and growth. She currently lives with her son on Hawaii island.
