From “I’m failing” to “I’m learning”

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.

We talk about: * why waiting until you make more money to give doesn’t really work * how to choose what matters to you and where you want your money to go * different ways to give (percentages, free spots, supporting causes, everyday generosity) * and how creating this kind of “flow” can actually make your business feel more alive and aligned I also share some personal stories—from a conversation that shaped my path into entrepreneurship, to real ways I’ve experimented with giving inside my own business.

How To Be A Badass

In this episode, we’re talking about what it actually means to be a “badass", and why I kind of hate that word and have stopped using it besides for the use of this episode.  Because honestly? Most women are already badasses. Our mothers, our grandmothers, the way we hold life, business, kids, emotions, everything… it’s already there. But there is one piece of “badassery” that I think really matters. The kind that actually changes your life. And it’s this: Being the kind of person who does what most people won’t. In this episode, I share what that looks like in real life—not just the exciting stuff (cold sea dips, early morning walks, planning big, playful experiences)… but also the really unsexy, repetitive things that no one talks about. We talk about: * Why the word “badass” can feel cringey—and what’s actually worth keeping from it * The difference between doing what’s hard vs. avoiding what matters * The “boring” habits that quietly change your life * Emotional badassery (aka feeling your feelings instead of avoiding them) * Why consistency > intensity every time * And how to start identifying where you’re already showing up powerfully in your own life This episode pairs really well with last week’s episode on accessing your inner strength—this is what that strength looks like in action. If you’ve been waiting to feel more ready, more confident, more clear… this might be the nudge to start doing the things you already know.
