Access Cara's FREE Get Calm Guided Practice
Feel refreshed, replenished, and reconnected with my signature 10-minute guided audio tool.
Let ME take care of YOU for a few minutes, mama!
You want to show up to your life, loved ones, and work as your most authentic and grounded self.Â
But this season with young kids is unlike anything you've ever experienced before.
Â
When you're at your best, working motherhood brings moments of pure magic that make everything worthwhile. And yet, you're feeling lonely despite rarely being alone, frazzled, moody, scattered, and pulled in a million directions. Some days, you barely recognize yourself in the blur of needs and responsibilities.
Mama, I believe you can feel differently than you do right now.
I help working moms reconnect with themselves and build internal resources to not just survive, but savor this full-on, full-hearted season with young kids.
My Calm Kit program guides you from overwhelmed and disconnected to replenished and centered, helping you rediscover a changing YOU while showing up for all parts of your life in ways that align with your deepest values.
