Discovering My Wings: From "Perfect" Wife to an Untethered Life

From suburban Virginia to wild Alaska, the desert at Burning Man to the lush Sacred Valley of Peru, Kara’s trip is a nonstop adventure and a deep dive into the depths of her soul. Kara’s journey isn’t just a cross-country road trip, it's a constant deconstruction and redefining of identity, from the perfect southern woman who denied her sensitivities as an HSP, to a gritty, fierce, intuition-following adventurer. As a highly sensitive person, Kara always felt odd and different in the world. She learned to play the game of life well and became a chameleon in her environments. Growing up she learned to be pretty, sweet, quiet and do whatever it took to make people like her. She married a good provider and moved into the perfect home. She had it all--down to the proverbial white picket fence, but something always felt off. She never fully felt like herself. When her marriage fell apart, everything Kara had been taught to want crumbled around her. She stood in the midst of the rubble and rather than crumble too, she decided to redefine it all. Who was she in her essence without the perfectly scripted life? Who was she if she took off her mask and lived an authentic life? To answer these questions, she sold everything, bought a van, and drove to Alaska with her two dogs. When she discovered the voice of her intuition and began embracing her sensitivities, she was led her on an incredible hero’s journey, not just across the country, but straight into her highest truth. Travel with Kara as she follows her spirit and leaves behind the part of her that was attached to people-pleasing and looking perfect. In fact, as Kara embraces the vast range of her emotions as a highly sensitive person, it gets downright messy. But as the journey unfolds, Kara’s sense of grit, humor, and passion for life bring her into grace, and the journey ends with her greatest miracle. As you travel with Kara, you may start to hear your own inner guiding voice, to feel your deepest emotions, to embrace your sensitivities which can be powerful teachers, and to let your experiences create you as you live them. She is an inspiration for anyone who wants to step away from an old life, old self, old patterns and discover who you truly are.
