Cara Houser is a best-selling author, career strategist, and empowerment coach, and she helps high-impact women leaders step into their power and go from burned out to lit up. Clients hone their ability to see and articulate their value (and values) and tap into their power, possibility, and purpose to pursue what matters most to them in their lives and careers.
In her first career, Cara spent 20 years learning how to survive and ultimately thrive in the pressure cooker field of real estate development. It’s an “always on” business, in which it is a peculiar badge of honor to be so “busy” as to have few, if any, other priorities in life.
Trying to be everything to everyone (except herself), Cara learned about burnout the hard way, and spent nearly two years testing out every possible way to heal herself and get back into rich, full-bodied, joy-filled living. She wrote a guidebook to help others recover from burnout - our modern epidemic.
Cara was born and raised in Richmond, California, and earned her B.A. in political science from UC Berkeley. She loves traveling and adventures of all kinds, trail running, the coastal redwoods, relaxing by the fire at home with family and friends, and playing her guitar. She lives in El Cerrito, California (near San Francisco) with her husband and two teenagers, and after over four decades living in an often foggy climate, she finally likes it!
