Cara Loren is a mega blogger turned business owner, and today she lets us in on how this all started out for her.
We go back to her early days when she shot photos behind her and her husbands old apartment shed, and she lets us in on how she felt when things really started taking off for her.
We go in depth on the diagnosis of her son, Hanes, diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes that happened just 6 months ago, and how the family is adapting to their new normal.
One thing is apparent...Cara has always been impeccable with her timing and listens to her gut when she’s feeling the need to shift the focus of her blog and Instagram.
Even when people around her didn’t exactly see her vision, she forged on anyway. She shuts out the naysayers, keeps focused, and continues to share with the world whatever she is most truly into, in the actual moment that it's happening for her, and I think this approach has (obviously!) worked out wonderfully for her.
You can find her on Instagram: @caraloren

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, hello guys. This week is super exciting for me because I have blogger and business owner, |
| 0:07.7 | Kara Laren herself on the show. And truthfully, I mean, I'm not even going to lie. I feel pretty damn special that she even agreed to be on because she says at herself in the show. She never does interviews. She kind of shies away from public speaking altogether, so, and which I don't know why, because you'll hear it for yourself. |
| 0:27.0 | She does so good. It was honestly so enjoyable, chatting with her, getting to know her better. |

| 1:06.2 | problems with people trying to find my podcast all across the board. Like |

| 1:32.4 | This is it's my first ever branded item too, so it's exciting. |

| 1:42.4 | I just give that |
