In Panama City, Florida, resides a woman with an unwavering determination to help others activate their purpose. Meet Cara J. Terrance, a highly sought-after Mindset Strategist, Bestselling Author, Empowerment Speaker, and Entrepreneur. With her thriving businesses, Youthful Soul Creative Book Development and Editing Services, and Keep It Movin Mindset Strategies Personal and Professional Development, Cara has carved a niche in the field.
Her 20-year-long experience inspired Cara’s journey toward her current career and passion in human resources. For her, the essence of human resources lies in helping people navigate life’s transitions, whether it’s career growth, recruitment, or performance management. Drawing from her own life’s challenges, including illness, surgery, divorce, and the loss of her mother, Cara developed a deep understanding of the importance of finding and activating one’s purpose in the face of adversity.
“I’ve always been able to keep it moving. No matter how detrimental the situation may have felt or was to and for me. It was through being raised to know God, to know that I can run to Him and have the faith to believe He would see me through,” Cara shares. She firmly believes that staying stuck for too long only prolongs progress, and quitting is never an option. Her unwavering faith in God and the understanding that growth and progression can only occur by continuously pushing forward have shaped her approach to helping others.
As a Christian woman, Cara’s decision-making and actions in both her personal and professional life are guided by a set of core values and principles. “Living a kingdom lifestyle encompasses living and exemplifying the attributes and characteristics of God regularly. Which shapes my values and principles and how to go about living a successful and effective life,” she explains. Honesty, truth, faith, trust, and the application of Godly wisdom and knowledge are foundational to her decision-making process.
Cara seamlessly incorporates her faith into her work and advocacy efforts. She believes that understanding one’s identity through God’s eyes is crucial. “For me to be and remain whole and complete through and in God, He has to be the defining factor in every area of my life and in every decision that I make,” she emphasizes. By recognizing the purpose behind every opportunity, Cara has transformed mundane jobs into platforms for making a difference.
“Taking what has been created and developed in us and being change agents in those spaces. Making a difference because you were there,” Cara states. She sees her work and advocacy efforts as more than personal fulfillment or receiving accolades. It’s about being a change agent and positively impacting the areas she occupies. By aligning her life with God’s will, she reflects her inner light and inspires others to do the same.
Looking ahead to 2024, Cara envisions contributing her gifts, talents, and abilities to help newcomers to the Kingdom of God family live practical and fulfilling lives. She aims to empower women to live fearlessly, embrace their purpose, and make a lasting impact in their respective fields. “In 2024, it is going to take an intentional and faith-driven understanding to live in our God-given identity,” Cara explains. She plans to achieve this by speaking at young adult and women ministries conferences and panels, creating an eBook and workbook for transitioning into God-centered lives, and continuing her involvement in podcasts such as “A Cup of Friendship” and “I’m Saved, Now What.”
