How this Fervent Fashionista and Lucrative Life Coach Put a Devilishly Stylish, Sassy Spin on Self-help

Care for a glass of Bubbly with your midday meditation? Then, we’ve got the GoGirl for you.

    If you were to put self-help superstar Tony Robbins, legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel, and cult heel and handbag enthusiast Jimmy Choo all into a blender, with a glass full of Champagne for good measure, you’d get Cara Alwill Leyba. And, each succulent sip would be more delicious than the last. While working full-time at MTV as a digital advertising director, NYC-based Cara Alwill Leyba built her booming brand and obsession-worthy blog, The Champagne Diet, long before launching herself as a bestselling author, motivational speaker, podcast host, and master life coach for women and girls. “I knew I wanted an edgy, fashion-forward brand that was rooted in personal development. I wanted to connect with a girl who sipped champagne while she meditated and wasn’t afraid to wear Chanel to a self-help seminar. I didn’t see that anywhere, so I created it.” – Cara Alwill Leyba.

Cracking the Girl Code: Cara’s Top Tips for Creating the Life, Livelihood, and Love of Your Dreams

    If you’ve been having reveries of a total life renovation, then you’ll want to tap into some of Cara’s top tips and tricks to help get you started. Then, be sure to pick up a copy of Girl on Fire and subscribe to her weekly podcast Style Your Mind for the hottest self-help on the airwaves.

Be willing to hustle – HARD.

Sometimes, that means grinding on your passion projects way after you’ve clocked out of your 9-to-5 gig for the day.

Have creative solutions.

Be prepared to hear “no’s” and have an execution plan for
creative detours. A “no” isn’t the end of the world, it’s just having to take another path to reach your goals.

Ask yourself what you really want.

Be specific. Know what you want down to the most minute detail. Be prepared for some heartfelt soul-searching.

Visualize your future – then write it down in a journal or on a whiteboard.

Imagine what your life looks like from the minute you wake up to the moment your head hits the pillow at night. Imagine you’re already living your dream life, doing your dream job, and loving your dream guy.

Do what consumes you.

Work on what you cannot stop thinking, dreaming, or
obsessing about. This is what you’re meant to do. This is your purpose. “Think about what you’re dying to work on. The audience will come when you are true to yourself.” Ask yourself what you can create that will devour you in the best, most positive ways possible.

Stay calm and grind, GoGirls! (And, don’t forget to flash your fashionably functional Louboutins in the process.)
