Where I’ve been, and where I’m going.

Season 3 of The Hormonal Mama Podcast has been a bit... unusual.  I've taken multiple hiatuses, had many scheduling changes, and also hosted an incredible group of guests.  In this final episode of season 3, I'm talking about what in the world has been going on with me this past year and why The Hormonal Mama Podcast has been ALL over the place this season, what I have in store for you with the podcast for next season, and what you can expect for me in my 3 businesses:  The Hormonal Mama, Cara B. Design Studio, & Cara B. Design & Wellness.

Cara B. Drescher (me!), is a licensed & board-certified massage therapist, nationally certified continuing education provider, licensed esthetician, certified integrative wellness life coach & holistic health coach, textile artist, & all-natural bath & body product maker.  I know... it's a lot.  Since 2002, Cara has worked within the wellness & beauty industries, working from licensed massage therapist & licensed esthetician to wellness center manager, and becoming a nationally certified continuing education provider.  Throughout her career, Cara has taken her work and understanding of the human body very seriously, with countless hours of continuing education to further her understanding.  A back injury sidelined her from massage work in 2010 for 3 months.  During this time off she picked up a new hobby and taught herself how to sew.  Cara began designing unique wallets and purses using repurposed antique & vintage upholstery fabrics, paired with lighter-weight, newer textiles.  Her hobby transitioned into a business, and Cara B. Design Studio was born.  6 years later, in 2016 a shoulder injury forced Cara out of work for 13 months.  During her recovery, she developed an interest in all-natural bath & body products including bath salts, muscle balm, roll-on perfume oils, and more.  She educated herself and created a subsidiary, of Cara B. Design Studio, Bath & Body By Cara B.  In 2019, 4 years after embarking on a roller coaster ride of an infertility journey, Cara gave birth to twins after 14 fertility treatments over the course of 3 years.  Through her postpartum journey, she developed a passion for helping others suffering through and after infertility, and thus started this podcast and a new academic journey becoming a certified integrative wellness coach and holistic health coach.  The Hormonal Mama was then born, and the rest, as they say, is history.
