About

Cara Bradley

I've spent four decades in the mind-body space teaching mental and physical practices. My work has always been driven by a deep curiosity about what helps us feel more energized, engaged, and fully alive.

I've learned that freedom and joy do not come from doing more. They come from waking up from the stories, beliefs, and patterns we accumulate over a lifetime, and experiencing ourselves as already whole and free.

That process of awakening shapes everything I do.

I've also been an entrepreneur my entire life, building and selling multiple wellness businesses, including Verge Yoga Center, which I founded and led for 18 years. That chapter taught me a great deal about leadership, resilience, and what it takes to stay steady through change and uncertainty.

Some other highlights from my long career include being named one of the most powerful women in mindfulness by Mindful magazine, writing On The Verge: Wake Up, Show Up, and Shine, serving as the mental strength coach for Villanova football's national championship team, and traveling the world as a pro skater for Team Rollerblade.

My current creative focus is writing Sparks, short morning reminders to help people feel clearer, more grounded, and more confident.

These days, when I'm not working, you'll find me doing CrossFit, playing pickleball, hiking, walking on the beach, or taking road trips in my van. I've been married to my husband Brian for over 30 years. We have two grown daughters, and I live and write from a cottage on the coast of Maine.
