This week on the High Vibe Living Podcast, we welcome the wise and wonderful Dr. Kara Smith, joining us from the misty hills of the Scottish Highlands for a deeply nourishing conversation on walking your true path as a woman—beyond roles, expectations, and the push of productivity culture.

In this rich and soulful episode, we explore what it means to reclaim your life’s direction—not as something to hustle for, but as something to remember. Through the lens of her academic research and lived experience, Dr. Kara invites us into the world of Dùthchas (a Gaelic word reflecting our innate connection to land, lineage, and place), and how ancestral wisdom can root us in authenticity, belonging, and purpose.

Together, we explore:
🌿 The difference between service and business for women—and how reclaiming service can be a radical act
🌾 The influence of Indigenous Hebridean wisdom on modern feminine leadership
🌀 How reconnecting with land-based knowledge like Dùthchas supports identity and purpose
⏳ The quiet tension between productivity and presence in our daily lives
💬 The power of honoring your own voice as a compass on your sacred journey

This episode is both grounding and awakening—a timely invitation to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what’s true. At the heart of it all: the power of authenticity and the reminder that your path is your own—and it is sacred.
