Hey, sweet soul! Iâm Kara (like Sarah with a K), your Play Alchemist â¨
Â
Iâm here to help you break free from the constant pressure to do everything perfectly and finally feel light, free, and alive again.


My Story
Five years ago, I was deep in the trenches of perfectionism, juggling overthinking, self-doubt, and a crippling belief that my worth was tied to my achievements. I thought success meant hustling until I burned out, plastering on a smile to keep up appearances, and chasing standards so impossible theyâd make a gymnast wince.
Then life said, âLetâs shake things up, shall we?â
Within months, everything unraveled. I lost my job. My apartment became Ground Zero for a cockroach apocalypse. A beautiful relationship ended. Childhood trauma bubbled up, and my epilepsy flared in ways I could no longer ignore. It felt like life hit a giant reset button, leaving me with nothing to hold onto.
But even in the middle of that chaos, I heard a whisperâa nudge from deep within: This isnât your story. Rewrite it.
So I did.
I started rebuilding, one tiny, soul-aligned step at a time. Somewhere between the chaos and the cocooning, I reconnected with a part of me I hadnât seen in yearsâmy inner child. That playful, wildly creative part of me that had been buried under years of âshouldsâ and perfectionism.
It was through returning to my inner child that I stumbled onto something magicalâplay. Not just fun-for-the-sake-of-fun play, but the kind that cracks you open, makes you laugh through your tears, and reminds you of who you were before the world told you who to be.
Play didnât just save meâit transformed me. And that transformation became the heart and soul of The Playful Warrior.
What I Do
I'm all about helping ambitious, sensitive souls like you ditch overthinking, heal old wounds, and reconnect with the joy, creativity, and confidence that are already inside youâeven if theyâre currently buried under 50 layers of âshoulds.â
My approach is rooted in the belief that play is the most powerful way to heal. Itâs not just a break from realityâitâs a bridge to the best version of yourself. And when you lean into it, magic happens.
Your relationships feel lighterânot because youâre striving to be the perfect friend or partner, but because youâre showing up as your true self. Your creativity flowsânot tied to a specific outcome, but as a joyful expression of who you are. And your business thrivesânot because youâre working harder, but because youâre embracing play, leading with confidence, and trusting the process instead of forcing the outcome.
Whether youâre navigating a tough transition, battling self-doubt, or just craving more fun, Iâll show you how to infuse play into every corner of your life.
Through my variety of programs, courses, and PLAYShops, weâll create space for you to rediscover the joy, freedom, and ease youâve been cravingâand help you build a life that feels as good as it looks.
