Kara Ladd is a dynamic, award-winning journalist, storyteller and strategist on a mission to connect modern mindfulness to the masses.After beating a one-in-a-million synovial sarcoma cancer in 2016, Ladd was empowered to leave her 9-to-5 editorial job, working as Hearst Digital Media’s Partnerships Editor, where she wrote for all 28 digital magazines—her features achieving up to 35 million page views. This profound healing journey was a powerful awakening and conduit for the spiritual-meets-strategic work that Kara puts out into the world today. She is the podcast host of Facing FWD:, a conscious lifestyle podcast, writer of Growing FWD: a soul-centered substack for self growth, and a transformational speaker who leads soul-led leadership workshops. She also is the founder of KL Consulting, a conscious marketing consultancy where she supports these leaders in amplifying their power and building the next generation of modern, mindful brands. Her work has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Mind Body Green, Forbes and more. When not writing, working or traveling the globe, you can typically find her at home in Brooklyn with her partner & plants.
