The Candid Cara Podcast

In this week's episode, I reflect on my podcasting journey-- the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Ever wonder what it's like to be both the interviewer and interviewee? Brace yourself for a cringe-worthy-self-interview, where I tackle the questions I think you might have. I get vulnerable and share about moments of joy to moments of self-doubt. Join me as I offer a candid look behind the mic. This one's for fellow creators and curious listeners alike!

In this episode of The Candid Cara Podcast, I explore the power of storytelling and its impact on our lives, from personal growth and healing to connecting with others and understanding the world. Reflecting on how stories shape our experiences, I discuss how we can use the narratives we tell ourselves to foster strength, resilience, and transformation. Join me as I share thoughts on storytelling's role in everything from business to psychology. I also encourage you to reflect on the stories you're telling yourself :)

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, I sit down with indie artist, songwriter, and lawyer Emerald Gearing for a raw, funny, and deeply honest conversation. Together, we explore topics like healing and evolving through music, learning how to sing, embracing imperfection, changing friendships, and the power of showing up even if it feels scary.

We also discuss Emerald’s debut album The Lonely Hour, where she reflects on her 20's with clarity and grace.

In this week's episode, I share memories from my life from a musical lens. I talk about finding passion and belonging in singing from an early age, falling in love with lyrics & songwriting, how I struggled with mindset and mental blockers, how much Avril Lavigne and her music meant to me (just wait for the entire avril episode lol), and how female singer songwriters in general always empowered and inspired me.

In this episode, I share how I've started prioritizing my physical health and how it is the greatest focus in my life at the moment . As a singer, my body is my instrument and I've identified a need to spend more time and energy tuning my instrument so that I can become a better artist and performer.
