Record Scratch with Kara

  • Summary

  • When something unexpected happens in our lives, just like in the movies, everyone and everything seems to freeze, and the soundtrack playing in the background stops abruptly with the sound of a needle across vinyl. A record scratch. It is inevitable that we will all experience “record scratch” moments in our lives. These big, disruptive moments require resiliency to move forward with our lives, for we are never the same. My record scratch moment was when my son Jake died in a car accident on February 19, 2022. He was 16. That fateful day completely disrupted my life and only recently I have rediscovered my voice. Trauma recovery is not a D-I-Y situation. I am surrounded by a team of amazing humans who continue to help me along my healing journey. A few of these very important individuals have already been guests on my podcast, Finding Joy with Kara (see Iva Nasr, Charles Crenshaw, Jr., and Graehm Hall episodes). Authenticity is greatly important to me — so all of my featured guests are individuals who walk their talk. Trauma encompasses a vast spectrum. There's no competition and no judgment as we speak about varying topics including generational trauma, grief, PTSD, and what we can do to heal our wounds and be better humans.

    Role Models
    Nov 14 2024

    This episode is a special one.

    Everyone needs positive role models in their lives — perhaps now more than ever. One of my role models is my dear friend, Ruth Graves. We discuss grief, loss, and how we move forward.

    If you or someone you love is grieving, please seek others so you do not feel alone — and if you know someone who is grieving the death of someone — please reach out to them. Compassion never goes out of style.
