  • #17: Being Versus Doing
    We are human beings not human doings. We easily get caught in the habit of doing and forget to be here now, in our lives, in this moment. In this episode Cara shares a simple breathing technique to remind you how to pause and show up for your life — to be more and do less.

  • #12: Beyond Over-Thinking and Over-Doing


    What happens in the moment between thoughts?

    What arises when we stop doing?

    In this episode Cara talks about the space beyond our mental junk and emotional baggage where we experience a sense of spaciousness and relief. In this space between planning and achieving, we drop into a state where we access our natural intelligences and experience a sense of "all is well."  Discover this space for yourself as Cara guides you through a short exercise in pausing and resting in the space beyond over-thinking and over-doing.
