Women's Expo is just 3 weeks away!!!!

10/03/2026

I am completely speechless and my heart is overflowing! I just received the official confirmation that I will be stepping into the studio at the Chicago Women's Expo for a LIVE interview with the amazing Claudia Jordan! 🎙️❤️
We are talking about Founder Spotlight LIVE—an incredible platform celebrating women building businesses, chasing their big dreams, and turning their visions into reality. I will be sitting down in the live studio on Saturday, October 24th at 1:16 PM to share my heart, my story, and the deep intention behind Pure Clarity Natural Wellness!I know my Dad is looking down from heaven right now with the biggest smile on his face, watching his girl finally stand in her light. I can feel him protecting me and guiding my steps every single day. 🕊️❤️👼🏽
To say this has been a season of complete rebirth would be an understatement. I have had to walk through the heavy fire, shed the old armor, and learn exactly what it means to heal my own heart. But when you finally choose to stop suffocating, stand tall, and trust your purpose, the universe opens doors you never thought possible. 🕊️✨
I am so incredibly grateful for the rare, safe spaces and the unconditional support systems that have held me up when the weight felt too heavy. This victory is for all of us.
If you are going to be in Rosemont at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center that weekend, please come out, catch the live interview, and stop by the booth to smell our small-batch organic herbs and wellness rollers! We are bringing nothing but pure peace, clarity, and divinity to Chicago. 🌿🔮
Loudest volume, on repeat. No more hiding. See you in the spotlight! 💻✨

Happy Father's Day & Summer Solstice

Hello Beautiful Soul,

Today felt a little more tender than usual.

It’s Father’s Day, the Summer Solstice — the longest day of the year — and it also marks seven years since my dad passed. A day like this carries a lot of layers. Light, memory, gratitude, grief, and quiet reflection all woven together in different ways.

If today feels complicated for you too, you’re not alone in that.

I’ve found that grief doesn’t really follow a schedule — it just shows up differently over time. Sometimes soft, sometimes sharp, sometimes just quietly sitting in the background of an ordinary day.

Later, I opened a bag of orchid mulch I’d picked up to transplant a flower, and everything softened for a moment. That rich, earthy scent wrapped around me like a slow breath in the woods.

I may or may not have left the bag open next to me for a while. No shame.

It reminded me that grounding doesn’t have to match the intensity of what we’re feeling. It doesn’t fix anything. It just gives us a place to land for a moment.

And I think that’s something this season teaches us too — especially on the longest day of the year. There’s space for both expansion and stillness, light and shadow, celebration and remembrance.

So today, if you can, find one small earthy moment. A breath. A scent. A pause. Let it be enough for right now.

With warmth, sunlight, and a little dirt under my nails,
Kari

P.S. I wanted to share a new blend, Oak & Ember (In His Honor). I blended in remembrance of my dad and part of the new "Rooted Collection". It carries warm, grounding notes for those moments of stillness. The kind of moments where you're not trying to fix anything, just trying to find a place to land. Steady, warm, quietly holds space.

We just had to share!

Beautiful Soul,

If you've been following along for a while, you know that Pure Clarity has been growing, changing, and finding its true roots. Every step has brought me closer to creating experiences that help people slow down and reconnect—with nature, with creativity, and with each other.

So I'm so excited to finally share this...

Pure Clarity is now offering private parties and hands-on workshops! ✨

And here's the fun part...

Even though I don't have a cute little herb shop (yet 😉), that doesn't mean we can't gather. In fact, I think it's even better—I get to bring the magic right to your doorstep.

Whether it's your home, backyard, garage, event space, or favorite gathering spot, I'll bring everything needed for a unique, nature-inspired experience your guests won't forget.

Picture everyone around the table, creating with their hands, laughing, sharing stories, and walking away with something they made themselves.

From whimsical fairy parties for ages 8 and up to herbal bachelorette parties, birthdays, bridal showers, girls' nights, homeschool groups, and other special celebrations, each workshop is customized to fit your group.

But here's what I really want you to know...

We don't just host parties.

We create moments where people put their phones down, breathe a little deeper, get their hands a little dirty, reconnect with nature, and remember how good it feels to simply create together.

Because the best celebrations aren't about having the fanciest decorations or the biggest guest list. They're about the moments that make you smile months later.

If you've been looking for something different for your next gathering—something meaningful, hands-on, and just a little magical—I would absolutely love to create that with you.

And if you know someone planning a birthday, shower, bachelorette party, or girls' night, I'd be so grateful if you'd share this with them.

Thank you for supporting this little dream of mine as it continues to grow. I truly can't wait to see where this next adventure leads.

With love and gratitude,

Kari

Private Parties & Workshops

Some of life's sweetest memories are made around a table—hands busy creating, laughter filling the room, and hearts feeling just a little lighter.

At Pure Clarity, we bring that experience to you. Whether you're gathering in your home, backyard, event space, or another special place, we transform your space into a nature-inspired workshop filled with creativity, connection, and a little bit of magic.

From enchanting fairy parties for ages 8 and up to herbal bachelorette parties, birthdays, bridal showers, homeschool groups, team-building events, and cozy girls' nights, every gathering is customized to fit your vision.

Choose from a variety of hands-on herbal and botanical DIY projects that your guests will create and take home—a lasting reminder of the day you shared together.

But we don't just host parties.

We create moments where people slow down, put their phones away, work with their hands, reconnect with nature, and leave feeling inspired.

Because the best celebrations aren't measured by decorations or favors—they're remembered by how they made us feel.

If you're looking for an experience that's a little different, a little earthy, and full of heart, we'd be honored to bring the magic to your next gathering.

Let's create something beautiful together. We'd love to party with you.

Learning to Quiet the Noise — When Everything Paused, Something Shifted

This week felt full in a way I didn’t fully notice until I finally stopped moving.

Not everything was resolved. Not everything was organized. Life was still happening in overlapping layers — responsibilities, thoughts, and the quiet pressure of everything that still needed attention.

But there was a small moment where something shifted. I paused. Not because everything was done, but because I realized everything didn’t need to be held at the same time.

I made hibiscus bath tea with a bit of oatmeal, ran a hot bath, and let myself step out of the mental cycle of trying to hold, plan, and solve everything all at once.

And something important happened in that pause. The noise didn’t disappear — but it softened.What had felt like a thousand open tabs demanding attention began to separate again, instead of sitting as one overwhelming weight.

That shift didn’t come from fixing anything. It came from where I placed my attention.

I noticed I had been trying to hold everything at once in my mind — as if everything needed me at the same time. When I stopped doing that, even briefly, something inside me settled.

I told myself: “We are not solving everything right now. We are only attending to what is in front of us — right here in the moment.”

And that changed everything.

What I’ve been noticing since then is simple: So much of overwhelm doesn’t come from what’s happening around us — it comes from trying to hold it all at once inside us.

When everything is carried together, it feels heavy and endless. But when attention narrows — even for a moment — things start to feel separate again. Manageable. One at a time.

Not easier. Just less tangled.

This is still something I’m learning, not something I’ve mastered. But this week reminded me of something I keep coming back to:

Sometimes calming the mind doesn’t start with fixing anything. Sometimes it starts with permission. Permission to stop holding everything at once.

If your mind has felt full lately, maybe it doesn’t need to be cleared or controlled.

Maybe it just needs a place to land. Something simple. Something grounding. Something right in front of you.

Even briefly. Even imperfectly.

🌿 A small practice: If you find yourself carrying too much at once, you might try this:

Make something simple (tea, water, something warm in your hands)

Sit for a moment before moving on to the next thing

Gently notice: “Right now, I am only here.”

Let everything else wait without asking it to disappear

Not to fix anything — just to step out of holding it all at once.

This is the kind of quiet I’m continuing to learn — not as something to achieve, but as something to return to in small moments of real life.

If you’re here too, I hope you find even a small pocket of that kind of softness this week.

For the Trying Times

Beautiful Soul,

For the days that feel heavy, full, or like they never quite belong to you, I’ve been thinking about small ways we can return to ourselves without needing to leave our lives.

Especially for parents and caregivers, the day doesn’t really stop asking things of you. But there are still small openings—quiet, ordinary ones—that can help bring you back into your body, even briefly.

Here is a simple way to think about those moments:

A cup of tea, intentionally made.
Not rushed, not forgotten on the counter. Something like chamomile to soften tension, peppermint for clarity, or lemon balm when your mind feels loud. Let the steam rise before you drink it. Let it exist as a pause, not a task.

A return to scent and touch.
Brush your fingers through rosemary, thyme, or mint if they’re near you. Crush a leaf lightly between your fingers and breathe it in. Let the scent interrupt the mental noise for even a moment.

A grounding breath near something living.
A plant, a garden bed, a windowsill herb pot—anything green and growing. Notice it without needing to change it. Let it remind you that growth doesn’t rush, even when everything else does.

A slow second of stillness in an ordinary place.
By the kettle. At the sink. In the doorway before stepping into the next thing. One breath where nothing is being asked of you except to be present.

These are not big resets. They don’t fix everything. But they do soften the edges where the day starts to press in too tightly.

And sometimes, that is enough to keep you from disappearing into the roles you hold.

If you take anything from this, let it be simple:

Come back to yourself in small ways. Often. Without waiting for permission.

Even if it’s just a sip of tea you actually taste.
Even if it’s one leaf, one breath, one quiet moment.

It still counts.

You’re doing great.

Take care of yourself in whatever way you can right now,
-Rev. Kari
