Cara Says It All

Whew! It's nearly September, ladies! Where did summer go!? As we close out another season, I'm back with a life update, and some thoughts around why we should make (and break) our own rules, what it looks like to choose hope over fear, and why I am a huge fan of CHANGE. If you've been feeling some resistance lately, questioning everything , and feeling like you can't move forward until you know wh...

I like to say I see the world through rosé colored glasses. I make it a point to choose optimistic, positive, blissful thoughts, which create an optimistic, positive, blissful reality. The first step to making any real change in our lives and our businesses is to change our energy. Our energy, or vibration, is the frequency we put out into the world that determines the quality of our experiences....

Yes I cried during this episode, and no I did not edit it out. This one's a doozy. I hope it makes you feel something.

I honestly could not love Angie Lee any more. I had a chance to sit down with her and talk all things bravery, building community, and learning to find comfort in the question mark. Angie is one of those few women who does it her way and isn't afraid to tell you why. If you've ever found yourself worried about the unknown, but excited about a brand new venture, this one's for you! She also gets vu...

I'm relishing in pub week and I continue to get asked 1 question that is so surprising to me. In this episode, I'm sharing what that question is, along with my thoughts on what true success looks and feels like for me. It's not what you think! I'm also offering some guidance for those who still struggle with wanting to be validated by outside forces - whether that be a title, money, awards, rankin...

I had to jump on and talk to you ladies about something that's been on my mind lately. I see SO MANY women completely confused and overwhelmed with the idea of being themselves. Why is it so hard to just be us!? If you've struggled with the idea of authenticity, this episode is for you. Order my new book, Like She Owns the Place here!

LADIES! I cannot believe Like She Owns the Place is out in one week! On July 10, I'll be sharing my whole heart with the entire world. Though this is my 5th full length personal development book, it still feels just as thrilling as releasing my first - if not more. I know this is my best body of work yet, but the anxiety is real! To say I'm nervous would be an understatement. But the excitement ab...

If you've ever found yourself stalking your email waiting for an employer, publisher, blogger, or ANYONE to say "yes" then you know exactly what it's like to feel powerless. The moment we put our success in the hands of others is the moment we lose control of our future. In this episode, I'm sharing my own experience with choosing myself and the shifts you need to make to stop waiting for permissi...

Did you ever notice when you stress out and worry over something you want, it feels even further out of reach?

Social media has changed the game for us - whether we run a business online or not. We're constantly checking our phones throughout the day, responding to messages and absorbing information - and it's overwhelming. So how do we utilize the benefits of technology but also stay sane? Where do we draw the line between being available to others online but also keeping some boundaries? Join me for this...

When is the last time you spontaneously created something? Calling myself an artist rather than an entrepreneur has been a game-changer. It has allowed me to work from my soul rather than a blueprint. In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on creativity and getting back in touch with our intuition when it comes to our work and the mark we're leaving on the world.

We need to talk about mental health. In light of the recent suicide of Kate Spade, and watching so many women (myself included) struggle with overwhelm, anxiety, and depression, it's time to talk about what happens behind the lip gloss and selfies. Behind the best seller lists and seven-figure incomes. In this episode, I'm vulnerably talking about my own personal boundaries and how I'm changing wh...

As someone who has struggled with her weight for most of her entire life (I joined weight watchers at 11 years old) I know what it feels like to have a completely dysfunctional relationship with food and with my body. After becoming a professional dieter, and losing and gaining weight like it was my job, I was done. Done beating myself up. Done starving. Done binging. Done putting the keys to my s...

You know who I love to follow online? Grassroots girls who are doing business THEIR way. Girls running shit out of their bedrooms. Girls with an insatiable hunger for success, believing with every single ounce of their soul that their small business in their small town is WORTH it. I don't follow the "big" coaches, public figures, or super popular entrepreneurs. I am alllll about the DIY hustle. I...

It's my birthday! As I enter my 38th year of life and my 10th year as a blogger-turned-coach-turned-author-turned self-empowered woman, I have a LOT on my mind. I've been thinking about how I want to continue showing up in the world. As a woman. As a business woman. As someone who has a lot of eyes on her, and a massive platform to express herself through and help women. I'm going to admit somethi...
