Meredith is a mom of two girls, a Yale grad and a TV producer and journalist who has worked around the world for CBS News, CBS Sports, Bloomberg, and HBO Sports. She is also the Co-Founder of Carrots & Cake, a parental control learning app that supports parents as they try to give their kids a healthy and balanced approach to the digital world.

Cara Tyrrell, M.Ed is a Vermont-based Early Childhood Educator, Conscious Parenting Coach, and the founder of Core4Parenting. She is the passionate mastermind behind the Collaborative Parenting Methodology(™), a birth-to-five, soul and science-based framework that empowers parents to maximize their child’s early learning while raising fantastic human beings who succeed in school and life.

While teaching preschool and Kindergarten, she noticed her students knew their ABC’s and 123’s, but struggled with their social, emotional, and interpersonal skills.

This realization led to her professional pivot as an online Early Childhood Parent Educator and Coach. 

Cara has embraced her role as a thought leader and fierce advocate for Pandemic parents raising the COVID Generation (GEN-C). Through keynotes, teacher training, and her podcast, Transforming the Toddler Years, she’s teaching the 5 Executive Functioning Skills kids need to navigate our ever-changing world.
