6 Things to Unlearn from School

Why You Might Be Creatively Blocked

In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve been noticing in myself lately — and I think a lot of entrepreneurs and creatives are quietly struggling with it too. We live in a world of constant input. Podcasts, courses, reels, books, ideas, information, noise. And while learning and consuming can feel inspiring and expansive… there comes a point where too much input starts making us feel heavy instead of alive. In this episode, I’m breaking down what I see as the three essential states of creativity: consuming, creating, and integrating. I share my own experience of falling in love with coaching, going all in on learning, eventually hitting a wall, and then rediscovering joy through creating, coaching, and expressing instead of only taking things in. But the biggest shift came when I realized there was a third piece missing entirely: integration. The walks without earbuds. The quiet drives. The staring-out-the-window moments. The silence. The space for your own thoughts to actually rise to the surface. We talk about: * why too much input can make you feel creatively blocked * the nervous system side of creativity * why some of your best ideas come when you stop trying so hard * the importance of boredom, quiet, and spaciousness * how nature itself models cycles of consuming, creating, and integrating If you’ve been feeling creatively overloaded, disconnected from yourself, or like your brain just needs more room to breathe a little again — this episode is for you.

Be an Influence, Not an Influencer

In a world obsessed with likes, reach, and “going viral,” what if virality isn’t actually the goal? In this episode, I’m talking about the pressure so many business owners feel to grow fast online — and why chasing attention can sometimes pull us further away from the people we’re actually here to serve. I share: - The story of a coach friend who accidentally went viral overnight - Why huge engagement doesn’t always equal aligned business growth - The hidden downside of virality and algorithm-chasing - Why your “low engagement” offer posts may actually be your most important content - The difference between being an influencer and being an influence - Why intimacy, resonance, and real connection matter so much more than numbers This episode is a reminder that your job is not to entertain the masses. Your job is to help your people find you. To book a free coaching consult with Tamar: www.tamarcoaching.com/consult

6 Things to Unlearn from School

School taught many of us how to succeed inside a system. But entrepreneurship, creativity, leadership, and building a meaningful life often require a completely different skill set. In this episode, I’m sharing 6 things I think many of us learned in school that we may need to unlearn as adults — especially if we want to build businesses, take brave action, trust ourselves more deeply, and stop living like we’re still trying to get an A in life. We talk about: - why “sit still and be quiet” can destroy visibility - procrastination as information (not always laziness) - why not everything deserves your “very best” - the surprising power of failure - self-trust vs outsourcing authority - the difference between collaboration and dependence This one is especially for my fellow recovering good students, perfectionists, people pleasers, and creative entrepreneurs trying to build a life that actually feels like theirs. And when you're ready to unlearn all the rules that will set you free to be the best boss inside of your business and life, book a consult with me to get the exact kind of support you will need: www.tamarcoaching.com/consult

From “I’m failing” to “I’m learning”

You know that phase in business where you’re showing up, trying things, putting yourself out there… and it still feels like it’s not working? This episode is about that phase. The one where it’s easy to start questioning yourself. Your ability. Your idea. Whether you’re actually cut out for this. I want to offer a different way to look at it. Instead of seeing it as failure, what if you’re actually in an apprenticeship? I break down what apprenticeship originally meant (hint: it has nothing to do with being an expert or getting it right), why we expect ourselves to “be good” way too soon, and how real skill is actually built over time—through repetition, mistakes, and staying in the work. We’ll talk about: * why it feels like nothing is happening (even when a lot is) * how we misinterpret the early stages of growth * what it actually takes to get good at something * and how to stop making this phase mean something about you If you’ve been feeling like you’re behind or doing it wrong, this will help you see things a little differently.

How to Show Up in Your Business When the World Feels Like It’s on Fire

Lately, I’ve been having the same conversation again and again—with clients, friends, and other business owners: How do we show up in our businesses when everything feels heavy? When the world feels unstable, emotional, or overwhelming, it’s very easy to quietly disappear. To stop posting, stop selling, and sit in that in-between space of not knowing what’s appropriate or what even makes sense anymore. In this episode, I’m talking about how to navigate that in a real and grounded way. Not from a place of “just push through,” but from a place of awareness, responsibility, and honesty. I share my perspective on: * the difference between real action and performative posting * how to know what’s actually yours to speak about (and what isn’t) * why protecting your nervous system is essential if you want to keep showing up * how to redefine consistency during difficult or emotional seasons * and how to continue showing up for your people without feeling disconnected from what’s happening around you This is not about ignoring reality or pretending things are okay. It’s about learning how to be a human being living in a complex world—and still lead your business in a way that feels aligned and true to you. If you’ve been feeling unsure, stuck, or like you’ve quietly stepped back from your business… this episode will help you find your way back.
