  • #37: How Bout This Life?


    How bout this life? In this episode Cara shares how asking this powerfully positive questions interrupts our patterns of wallowing in the should's, can't's, want's and won't's. Learn how these four words shift us from looking down (in the dumps) to looking up and out at the wonder and beauty happening right now. This simple inquiry reminds us of the privilege of being alive and catapults us beyond our busy mind and out of our own way into a more empowered and positive state.

Learn how Cara’s “changing it up” and feeling more alive than ever, and how you can do so too.
