Cara Brookins

A Story that went viral, Cara Brookins is a testament to resilience, strength and getting “unstuck.”

I help people do hard things and motivate them to push past fear and take the first step toward building the life they want. Cara Brookins

Cara Brookins’ incredible story went viral in more than 75 countries and has been viewed more than two billion times. She is the author of nine books, including Unstuck, where she reveals her proven strategy for maintaining motivation and living up to your greatest potential.  

Equipped only with YouTube instructional videos and her eager construction crew consisting of her four young children, Cara built a house from the foundation up. Convinced that by building a house, they could rebuild their broken family, she and her kids poured the concrete, framed the walls, and laid the bricks. In the end, they had built a two-story, five-bedroom home. Cara’s story—chronicled in her bestselling book, Rise: How a House Built a Family—is an inspiring blueprint that traces her family’s rise from battered victims to stronger, better versions of themselves—all thanks to one impossible, extraordinary do-it-yourself project.  

Cara uses real-life examples from her unconventional construction site and shares lessons of teamwork, perseverance, and overcoming incredible odds. Her tactics of self-empowerment show how to blend an imperfect mix of personalities, talents, and temperaments into a cohesive, unstoppable team. Her podcast, The Cara Brookins Show, guides listeners on how to push past their fears, get un-stuck, and take the first steps toward building the life they want.
