You’ve gotten really good at being the responsible one. But somewhere between back-to-back meetings, people-pleasing on autopilot, and trying to do life “right”… you misplaced your spark.
Remember the you who...
✨ Made up dance routines in the living room (jazz hands and all)
✨ Built worlds out of cardboard boxes and glitter glue
✨ Didn’t overthink, didn’t compare, and happily made a mess just for the fun of it
Yeah… that you.
Every once in a while, they pop up, whispering:
“Remember me? I still want to giggle-snort and laugh until I can’t breathe. I still want to dream without limits. I still want to see magic in the little things. I still want to dance like no one’s watching… especially if they are.”
Around here, we say yes to that voice.
We turn down the volume on perfectionism. We kick self-doubt to the curb. We swap endless to-do lists for belly laughs, bold moves, and a healthy dose of ridiculousness.
Because healing doesn’t have to feel heavy. Here, it gets to be FUN 🪩
Why PLAY?!
Play isn’t just something kids do. It’s the secret sauce to building self-trust, quieting your inner critic, and feeling alive again.
Through play, you:
🧡 Loosen perfectionism’s grip and build real self-love
🧡 Spark creativity, adaptability, and fresh ideas
🧡 Reduce stress and burnout
🧡 Strengthen relationships and connection
🧡 Invite silliness, spontaneity, and joy back into your life
I’m Kara 👋 Chief Fun Officer of
The Playful Warrior
I grew up as the sparkly, big-hearted kid who turned the kitchen into a stage and saw magic in the smallest things.
But somewhere along the way, I learned to trade play for performance. Fun became something you had to "earn", and perfectionism slowly pushed my joy to the sidelines.
By adulthood, I was burnt out and living by the unspoken rule that my worth came from how much I achieved, and how perfectly I could do it.
In 2019, when I was deep in inner child work, I realized just how far I’d drifted from that lit-up version of me… and how much she’d been longing to be expressed.
I went looking for spaces where my inner child could come alive again, but every “play” option for adults came with a side of competition, achievement, or pressure to perform.
So I built what I couldn’t find. A space where play has nothing to do with proving yourself, and everything to do with feeling alive, safe, and wildly yourself.
That’s when everything shifted. I stopped living for approval and started creating a life I actually wanted to be in.
Now, through The Playful Warrior, I help sensitive, high-achieving humans do the same — shaking off the pressure, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, and coming home to the most confident, creative, fully-expressed version of themselves.
