#119 - What Choosing Yourself Really Looks Like

So often when women hear the phrase “choose yourself,” they immediately think about self-care. Bubble baths. Massages. Vacations. Doing something nice for themselves. But choosing yourself goes so much deeper than that. In this episode, we’re talking about the many ways women can choose themselves beyond simply “doing things” for themselves. Because choosing yourself is not just what you do for yourself - it’s how you honor yourself. Inside this episode, we discuss: ✨ telling yourself the truth instead of abandoning your feelings ✨ boundaries as an act of self-respect ✨ why rest is necessary, not earned ✨ grieving old identities and survival versions of yourself ✨ emotional honesty and self-awareness ✨ how consistency builds self-trust ✨ why choosing yourself often feels uncomfortable before it feels empowering This episode is a powerful reminder that choosing yourself is not selfish - it’s transformational.

#118 - From Failures to Blessings: How Not Getting What You Want Prepares You for More

Sometimes the experiences we call failures are actually the moments transforming us most. In this heartfelt episode, I’m sharing a perspective that was deeply on my heart: what if the things falling apart in your life are actually trying to guide you into alignment with who you’re truly meant to become? We talk about: ✨ why failed experiences still hold value ✨ how outdated identities keep us stuck ✨ the discomfort of evolving and becoming ✨ why growth often feels painful before breakthrough ✨ how staying committed to yourself changes everything ✨ why choosing yourself is required for transformation I also share the powerful analogy of a seed breaking through tough soil — and how many of us give up right before we reach the sunlight. If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, out of alignment, or like life keeps pushing you in a different direction… this episode is for you. And if you’re ready to stop abandoning yourself and begin becoming the woman you’re meant to be, I invite you to join my FREE 5-Day Choose Yourself Challenge starting May 26.

#117 - How Limiting Beliefs Are Secretly Running Your Life

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you’re incapable… but because you’re living from beliefs that were never truly yours? In this episode of Be The Change You Need, Tara dives deep into limiting beliefs, subconscious conditioning, and the invisible stories women carry that shape how they think, choose, love, speak, and show up in life. This conversation is about more than mindset. It’s about becoming aware of the identities and beliefs that have kept you disconnected from your authentic self—and learning how to begin shifting into the version of you that’s been within you all along. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, people-pleasing, fear of failure, lack of confidence, or feeling like you’re meant for more but can’t seem to reach it… this episode will speak directly to your soul. Because awareness changes everything. Here's What's Next:  ✨ Ready to go deeper?
