#170: How To Move Forward With Grief with CARA | Singer, Songwriter, Producer

What if grief isn't something you heal from? But rather, something you must learn to move forward with.

In today’s powerful episode, I sit down with singer, songwriter, and producer CARA for an incredibly raw and honest conversation about art, grief, and transformation. CARA opens up about her journey through personal tragedy, including the devastating loss of her brother and mother, and how she channeled her grief into the music for her upcoming autobiographical album, The Kronicles.

This album features chapters from every corner of CARA’s life—including her time in the cannabis industry and her friendship with the late Gangsta Boo of Three 6 Mafia, whose voice is featured IN the album in the song CARA KUSH, produced by CARA.

We have an exploratory, raw and honest conversation about how creativity can be both an anchor and an outlet in times of pain, why “healing” from grief can be a misleading idea, and the importance of finding ways—big or small—to process emotions and keep moving forward.

Whether you’re a creative, seeking ways to cope with loss, or just need a dose of authentic inspiration, my talk with CARA is heartfelt and embedded in realness. We hope it also serves as a reminder that you are not alone. Listen in for one of the most candid conversations ever shared on the Boss Goddess Podcast.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  •  How creative expression can help process grief and trauma
  • The power of channeling difficult emotions into art, music, and other creative outlets
  • How to honor your past chapters and setbacks with your next creation
  • Practical ways to care for your emotional well-being as a creative entrepreneur or empath
