In this episode, Cara Bradley shares the truth she spent years pretending not to know, what it cost her, and the simple practice she uses to stop looking away. It stings at first. But the lie always hurts mor...

In this one I walk through the four steps I use to start putting the b...

In this episode, Cara talks about becoming aware of how you're showing up and learning to change it on purpose, so you walk into any...

Don't die with your sailboat in the driveway. That line from the movie Nomadland stopped me cold and it's the reason I'm making this video. We all have a version of the sailboat. The dream we keep meaning to chase. The life we keep meaning to live. We tell ourselves: when things settle, when I have more time, when I retire. But things rarely settle. And we don't get this time back. In this video I...

That voice that says I don't feel like it? It's not going anywhere. And that's okay. In this video I'm talking about one of the most honest truths about doing hard things — motivation usually comes after you show up, not before.
