CARA WYKOWSKI

RECOVERING SUPERWOMAN, 
DIVINE BADASS,   MINDSET MAVEN  &  STYLISTA

Science was always Cara's first love, so freshly armed with a degree in Biology and Chemistry, Cara left the Midwest for the golden state of California to work in the biotech industry.  Twenty years later, it was her personal health crisis that prompted her to dive into the worlds of neuroscience, psychology and all things under the “brain wellness” umbrella.

Truly a Wounded Healer,  Cara's gift is to simplify complex theory into practical and digestible strategies that set the foundation for a life that is aligned and  authentic.  

You might ask, "what exactly is a girlfriend voice?"   Your "Girlfriend Voice"  is the opposite of your harsh critical voice in your head.  She’s the supportive, solutions focused voice, strengthening and empowering us, and most importantly, minimizing the power of the Inner Critic. 

Inner Critic = Head space, fear based

My Girlfriend Voice = Heart space, possibility based

The day before Thanksgiving in 2022, Cara lost her oldest son Eric to an accidental fentanyl overdose.  There is nothing that prepares you for the death of your child. We live in a grief illiterate world and the grief from a substance related death is further diminished by the stigma surrounding drug use.  Seeing the gap in support for other mothers like her, Cara trained with international grief expert and author, David Kessler, becoming a Certified Grief Educator in June of 2024.

 Since 2011, Cara has been sharing her journey on Instagram and Facebook as My Girlfriend Voice.
