About Untethered Voice: Speak Your Truth, Show Up and Be Seen in Your Life & Soul Based Business
Rewritten Stories is a gathering place for true tales told with guts, grace, and hard-earned wisdom. These aren’t just comeback stories. They’re rewrites—narratives reclaimed and reshaped by people brave enough to alchemize old stories and live into new ones. I’m Cara Jones—former journalist turned story coach—and I guide rite-of-passage experiences to help you own your truth, express your hard-won wisdom, and step boldly into what’s next. The storytellers in this podcast have gone through one of the most sacred rites of passages we will ever meet: turning their most challenging life experiences into their greatest wisdom. Rewritten is a gathering place for voices that have met struggle head-on—and emerged not unscathed, but undeniably changed. These are not just comeback stories. They are rewrites—narratives reclaimed and reshaped by people who refused to let their pasts define their futures. Rewritten is about meeting life’s challenges and WFT moments with curiosity and courage. This podcast reminds us that the stories we tell ourselves—and the ones we dare to share—can change everything. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can rise from what tried to break you, Rewritten will meet you there.

5. When the War Is Over: Rewriting the Victim Story
“Every rite of passage begins with a story. The one we have been living, and the one waiting to be written.” – Cara Jones Most of us carry a story that whispers I am powerless. It splinters into shame, unworthiness, perfectionism, and survival patterns that never got the message the war is over. This episode of Rewritten is about what happens when we face those patterns instead of hiding them. When grief, rage, fear, and shame are met with presence, they transform into fuel. When ritual is added to the threshold, breakdown becomes initiation. This story was told live at this month's Stories of Love and Resilience event online. Inside this episode you will hear: The root of the victim story and how it shapes our lives The three stages of a rite of passage: severance, threshold, initiation Cara’s story: When the War Is Over Rewritten is not about erasing your story. It is about meeting it as raw material and choosing authorship. It is an invitation to unpack the heavy suitcase, empty the psychic closet, and reclaim your power so that a new story can rise.

1. Struggle: An Extinction Burst Story
“Storytelling, when done from truth, becomes a rite of passage, a way to alchemize pain into power.” – Cara Jones This season of Rewritten is not just a return, it’s a new chapter. After walking through a year that stripped everything: anxiety, hormonal upheaval, and the sting of my book being rejected for being “too heavy,” I re-emerge with a deeper truth: ✨ Storytelling is not performance. It’s initiation. A vision during breathwork cracked me open: It’s time to release the inheritance of pain and choose joy as the new bloodline. This episode is for creators, healers, and humans ready to stop performing their wounds — and begin creating from the full spectrum of who they are. Inside this episode: The intimate unraveling that shaped this new season The psilocybin ceremony that changed everything How rejection led to realignment A call to storytellers: stop making pain your brand Why joy is now my north star Let this episode be your permission slip to tell the whole truth — not just the heavy, but the holy. ✨ About Your Host: Cara Jones I’m Cara.

9. The Power Hiding in Our Shadows with Joanna Lindenbaum
Whatever it is you are afraid to be, you have likely tucked away in what’s called your “shadow.” Your shadow contains vital parts of yourself that, when cut off, also cut off your life force and ability to create amazing things in this world. These buried parts of ourselves want expression and, when we pretend they are not there, usually end up causing trouble. On the flip side, you can harness the power of what’s in your shadow to fuel your life, creativity and work. “Our shadows are necessary parts of ourselves. Inside of each shadow is a gift and when we try to cut parts of ourselves off we no longer have access to that gift.” - Joanna Lindenbaum/ Coach & Founder @ Applied Depth Institute In this episode on The Power Hiding in Our Shadows, Joanna Lindenbaum and I dive into: What the “shadow” is and why we hide parts of ourselves in it My personal experience and struggles with reclaiming my inner leader One thing I never thought I’d say out loud How to notice and bring buried parts of you back to your consciousness and life ✨For more true stories, practical wisdom, and contemplations on speaking your truth, showing up and being seen in your life, and your soul-driven work, I welcome you to my email list.

5. On Racial Healing and Untethering From Shame
This week I’m speaking with Tovi Scruggs-Hussein about racial healing and how my own journey began in earnest with a shame-filled moment of her calling me in, back in 2020. That moment and how Tovi met it and me, taught me how to work with shame in a way I never have before. It sent me on an ongoing path to be more forgiving of myself when I inevitably get things wrong. To grow my confidence in my ability to make an ongoing impact through radical self-love and acceptance. This conversation is not only about racial healing work that I believe to be some of the most important work of our time. It’s about a path to finding our voice along with our humanity. In this episode On Racial Healing and Untethering from Shame, Tovi and I dive into: The limitations of quick fixes for systemic racism and the need for ongoing self-reflection How shame sabotages our ability to heal and use our voices How the medicine of forgiveness and compassion grow our capacity to do hard healing work The therapeutic and healing nature of racial healing autobiographies, and how they can set people free and change their mindsets ✨For more true stories, practical wisdom, and contemplations on speaking your truth, showing up and being seen in your life, and your soul-driven work, I welcome you to my email list.

4. The Willingness To Be Seen
There is a quality that lives in all of us and I think is essential in our ability to heal, speak, create, make art, make a ripple here in this world. And that quality is willingness. Willingness has driven all the twists and turns on my path. Willingness is a unique flavor of courage that puts the soul in the drivers seat. That helps us stop fighting the resistance and instead welcome it. In this episode on The Willingness to Be Seen I dive into: A song that is supporting me to shift out of validation-seeking work and into something truer An experience of willingness from my childhood that holds an ongoing lesson How the willingness to be seen can open up new possibilities A willingness prayer to guide you next time you face a scary decision to put yourself out there and be seen. ✨For more true stories, practical wisdom, and contemplations on speaking your truth, showing up and being seen in your life, and your soul-driven work, I welcome you to my email list.

3. On Speaking Your Truth: A Chat With My Parents
What are you willing to risk to speak your truth? When I started making ‘Blessed Child’, my documentary about leaving my parents’ faith, it opened up some painful history I had tucked away. From early childhood trauma to struggling in my arranged marriage during my twenties. It took me seven years to make this documentary, in part because I was terrified of losing my parents. At one point it felt like there was no possibility of a happy ending. Either, I speak my truth and lose this relationship or I hold it all in to try to preserve what we have. I got to the point where I was willing to risk the relationship to speak my truth. The call to tell my story was just that strong. In today’s episode, I’m sharing this story with you and the lessons I have learned on the way. You’ll also hear a conversation I had with my parents last fall about their experience of me creating my documentary and the way it has changed our relationship. In this episode on speaking your truth, I dive into: My considerations between speaking my truth and preserving my relationship with my parents; The opportunity of healing together; Letting honesty with loved ones be a process; A vulnerable conversation with my parents; And more. ✨For more true stories, practical wisdom, and contemplations on speaking your truth, showing up and being seen in your life, and your soul-driven work, I welcome you to my email list.

2. On Answering the Call to Tell Your Story
Does speaking your truth come easy to you? It never has for me. Twelve years ago, I got a call to tell my story about growing up in a wild religion/cult. When I first started, I had every reason not to tell this story. This part of my life was behind me, it wasn’t part of who I was anymore. There was no point in bringing it all up again. Exploring my story put me on a healing path and part of that healing was letting my version of the story and all the emotions wrapped up in it be witnessed. When our stories are witnessed, they start to lose their grip, and over time, new ways of looking at that story emerge. Listen in, as I share how I answered the call to tell my story and the lessons I learned through it. In this episode on answering the call to tell your story, I dive into: The lessons I’ve learned from answering the call to tell my story; How each of us holds a unique kind of wisdom because of how we’ve struggled; Finding the energy to create the life you want; Every time we lose our way, it’s because we’re disconnected from our own medicine; And more. ✨For more true stories, practical wisdom, and contemplations on speaking your truth, showing up and being seen in your life, and your soul-driven work, I welcome you to my email list.

1. On Sounding Like Yourself
Finding your voice and sounding like yourself doesn't just happen overnight. It’s a practice. We all have these parts in us that are scared and much more comfortable playing roles than being ourselves. The only way to make them feel safe is by taking small bold action. And, little by little, show them that they get to relax, and we can let more of ourselves out. I’ve been on a long ass journey when it comes to sounding like myself and I’m sharing part of my journey, my practice, with you in this first episode. In the end, the only way to find your voice is to use it. Let’s start.

Welcome to Untethered Voice
We are all born truth-tellers. But we learn too soon how to bury that truth. Welcome to Untethered Voice, a podcast for soulful entrepreneurs, creatives, healers, coaches, humans with a calling to find a voice that sounds like you. So you can speak your truth, show up, and be seen in your soul-based business. I’m Cara Jones. I’m a storyteller, a visibility guide, Emmy award-winning journalist, and a total human cheeseball, and I’ve been on a long ass journey with this myself. I’m sharing what I know in the only way I know how… through the hard, beautiful, awkward truth of my own experience. I share what I know about following your soul's call, finding your voice, being seen, deepening your relationship with yourself and others and growing your work, your business. It's all connected. An untethered voice is one that holds unique power because of how very long it has been held back. And finding yours will be one of your greatest assets in authentically building your business. Subscribe to make sure you're not missing an episode, and tune in every Tuesday, starting April 23rd, for weekly episodes on telling your story, speaking your truth (even if it disappoints people), reclaiming lost part of who you are…sexual healing, race, money, power and a whole lot more….
