Is your life unfolding by predetermined destiny, or everything decided in the moment by each free will decision you make?

The answer may surprise you.

In this episode of Playful Spirituality, we explore the mystical dance between free will and destiny.

Cara pulls from her 26 years of channeling peoples higher selves, and chatting with the divine to bring you a more comprehensive answer to this question then you’ve likely heard before

She describes how our soul “packs a bag” before we’re born, setting a general direction for the adventure ahead. But once we’re here, the choices are ours to make—shaping, adjusting, and co-creating our unique journey. She reveals how our higher selves and the universe are always working behind the scenes, guiding us toward alignment, no matter which twists and turns we take.

Feeling stuck or second-guessing your decisions?

You need to hear this episode!

Cara reminds us that our deepest desires are far more influential than any single choice. This episode is a loving invitation to trust your path, embrace the unknown, and revel in the beautiful balance between destiny and free will.

What if everything you thought you knew about postpartum was wrong?

In this deeply personal episode, Cara shares the unexpected challenges she faced after giving birth. She thought postpartum would be about simply bouncing back—losing weight, a quick recovery, and returning to her old self. But the reality was far more complicated—and transformative.

Cara opens up about recovering from a C-section, dealing with her baby’s lip and tongue tie, and the crucial need for rest (especially for pelvic floor health). She also dives into how hormonal roller coasters and brain fog affect mental health.

But it’s not all struggles—Cara explores the empowering self-knowledge and depth of resilience all of these challenges have unearthed.

Ready to hear the truth about postpartum and the deep transformation that comes with it? Tune in to this heartfelt episode!

Most people go about their lives reacting to the circumstances they are in and the events they experience.

There is another way to live, a way of curating how you feel and creating the reality around you on purpose. 

In this episode of the Playful Spirituality podcast Cara dives into the distinction between these two; reacting versus creating. 

She shares a personal (and a little bit embarrassing) experience of this recently in her life, to demonstrate how normal it is even for those who know how to create on purpose, to sometimes slip back into just reacting.

If this is you lately don’t worry!  

You may not even realize that you have slipped into reacting instead of creating, and that life could feel so much better than it does!

Cara teaches the three very simple steps to gently come back into a place of creating your life on purpose.

Give a listen and see just how easy it can be to move back into the driver's seat.
