Rise: How a House Built a Family ~ by Cara Brookins

I Built a House Using YouTube

Yes, my kids and I actually built it with our own hands. Not because we knew how, or because a single other person thought it was a sane idea. We built a house because we needed a radical move to shift our trajectory toward a better life.

It would be the hardest thing we'd ever done. The kids were 17, 15, 11, and 2. Together we poured the concrete, framed walls, laid bricks, ran gas lines of our two story, five bedroom house.

We knew if we could build a house through one extraordinary do-it-yourself project, we could rebuild our broken family.

My Presentations

I want to lead ordinary people toward extraordinary action.

Using the unconventional lessons I learned while building an entire house from scratch with my four kids, I challenge audiences to identify their biggest goals and then reach them.

    I understand how it feels to know you can do more in your business or personal life but you don't know how to get from here to there. When I struck on an idea that worked—that changed everything for me and my family—I did what anyone else would do, I decided to share it.

    Sharing my story in a book was difficult but a pretty natural move since I was already an author. But I never imagined how much more powerful my story could be when I speak in person to groups and organizations.

    Of course I love meeting people across the world. I love pushing people an enormous leap closer to a better life, But you want to know the best part of every trip? It's hearing your stories in person.
