Here's the "Real" Bio... I was born Carolyn Marie Ferrara, the only daughter in an Italian-American family from the Coney Island section of Brooklyn. As a fiercely independent child, I insisted on doing everything myself. This attitude worked both for me and against me.

In early adulthood I made some hasty decisions including a college transfer, quitting a sweet position at an investment bank, and dropping out of an MBA program. I married in my twenties, changed my name to Cara in my thirties, and got a tattoo in my forties.

My fifties were blurry and somewhat sloppy. My rapidly changing body and mind took me off my game. In many ways, I lost my “spit and vinegar”. In short, menopause dragged me down. Fed up with feeling flat and blah, I changed my ways, woke up from the fog and got back on the horse.

Now 59, I’m looking back at a collection of wellness businesses (some failed, some sold), a harrowing book launch, the hustle and grind of the corporate speaking circuit.

The greatest ride of my life has been the ongoing privilege of being a wife and mother of two extraordinary adult daughters.

Having now traveled through more than a few dark nights, I step forward into a new chapter with a fiery new passion and purpose—empowering women to take charge of their menopause journey and to harness their unique power to shine at work and in life like never before.
