She shares her own journey through years of severe insomnia, how traditional therapy tools weren’t enough, and the life-changing difference she found when she finally understood the role of hormones in sleep, mood, and brain health.
Cara also talks about the many ways midlife can bring challenges like brain fog, anxiety, indecisiveness, and emotional sensitivity. She offers hope, guidance, and practical next steps, including the launch of her now available Vibrant Mom Collective.
