CLARATY in Action

Ep 8 S Numbing, the New Epidemic we are Calling Normal with Kari Schwear

Clara Season 1 Episode 8


Are you living a “fine” life while slowly dying inside?

In this raw and unfiltered conversation, I sit down with Kari Schwear—former corporate high-performer turned Gray Area expert—to expose the danger of living in the grey: the space between thriving and failing where we numb, avoid, and settle.

We’re talking about:
✔️ Why high-achievers are most at risk for living in the grey
✔️ How “not bad” is the biggest lie we tell ourselves
✔️ The connection between avoidance, addiction, and achievement
✔️ Why radical ownership is your only way out

If you’ve ever said, “It’s fine” when it’s not… this episode is a wake-up call.
The grey zone is where dreams go to die—and you don’t belong there.

💥 It’s time to stop hiding, stop avoiding, and start choosing bold clarity.
