Special Guest Info:

Until about 10 years ago, Cary MacArthur spent a lot of time pursuing her many interests from the inside of her comfort zone—until she realized that she was becoming more and more separated from the things-- and especially the people-- that mattered most to her. She began working with therapists and coaches to reconnect to herself and others, and while she entered this process silently “kicking and screaming,” she came out with more enthusiasm for life, more confidence, and a desire to keep facing fears in order to discover the joy on “the other side.”

Cary considers herself a “professional student,” but she put her education on hold for several years to raise a family. She has a BA in both Psychology and Spanish. In 2021, she achieved a life-long goal of earning a Masters’ degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.  She and her husband, Dave, have been married 31 years and have 5 amazing children, who so far have given them 8 grandchildren! Cary loves being a wife and mother, but her current favorite title is the one her grandkids gave her: “Rassy.”
