When Life Doesn’t Go According To Your Plan

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2463990/fan_mail/new] Life doesn’t always go according to your plan. In this episode of the Love Your Journey Podcast, Tara Jo shares why she’s been quieter over the past few weeks, what she’s learning from an unexpected season of supporting a loved one, and why she’s releasing her new Walk & Talk Summer Somatic Series differently than planned. She explores why perfectionism keeps so many of us stuck, how slowing down can help us hear ourselves again, and why getting out of the mind and back into the body can change the way we move through uncertainty. You’ll also hear about: * The inspiration behind the Walk & Talk Summer Somatic Series. * How simple somatic practices can help when life feels overwhelming. * Why Tara is shifting away from one-to-one sessions and focusing on audio coaching and group experiences during this season. If you’ve been carrying a lot, feeling overwhelmed, or waiting for the “right time” to begin something, this conversation is an invitation to take one small step forward—exactly where you are.

When Life Goes Topsy Turvy: Finding Peace in Uncertainty

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2463990/fan_mail/new] Tara Jo recorded this one from the road, driving Bailey back to the family farm, after a couple of weeks that felt like the rug got pulled out from under her. Topsy turvy, down a ditch, up a ditch, drowning one moment and jumping for joy the next. In this episode she talks about the one thing she hears from women again and again, no matter their story: I just want to feel at peace. And what she’s learned about why peace feels so hard to hold onto, even when it’s already here. Plus, a story from inside the Divine Love Healing Collective about a mom of five using one simple tool in her own backyard, with her kids.    Interested in learning more?

When Someone Tells You To Calm Down

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2463990/fan_mail/new] Recording from Revelstoke, BC, with Bailey Boo by her side, Tara Jo opens this episode with an honesty, she's in the middle of one of the hardest weeks of her life, and she's bringing you into it. With the full moon energy fresh and Mercury retrograde underway, Tara Jo shares what's been unfolding with a family member's health, the eerie echoes of her brother Cory's story, and what she's been learning in real time about how we show up for each other (and ourselves) when everything feels like too much. This episode is about the one thing that either makes or breaks a relationship in a crisis moment: how you respond when someone you love is in emotional distress. Tara Jo digs into why "calm down" is one of the most damaging things you can say to someone who's overwhelmed, not because the person saying it doesn't care, but because most of us were never taught what it actually looks like to hold space. She talks about nervous system capacity, why other people's inability to sit with your big emotions is not your problem, and how to find your footing again after a moment where you felt unseen. You'll also hear about the somatic practices she's been leaning into this week, walking in nature, EFT, getting her senses grounded, and why she created the Walk and Talk Somatic Summer Series from exactly this kind of moment. This one is for the woman who's been told she's too much. It's also for the person who wants to show up better but doesn't know how. In this episode: * Why telling someone to calm down activates them further (and what it triggers in the body) * How to actually support someone in emotional distress, including the one question that changes everything * The difference between acute overwhelm and trauma responses that keep replaying * How to come back into your own energy after feeling dismissed or unheard * What Tara Jo does when her mind starts spiralling, and the tools she reaches for Mentioned in this episode: The Walk and Talk Somatic Summer Series, a guided movement and mindfulness audio experience for when you need to process on your feet.

When Life Stacks on You: Coming Back to Your Body in the Middle of Everything

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2463990/fan_mail/new] What happens when life stacks on you, the grief, the health diagnoses, the relationships that finally had to end, and you've drifted so far outside yourself you don't know how to come back?  In this episode, Tara Jo gets personal. She shares what it's been like navigating the loss of her brother, a severe concussion, mold toxicity, MCAS, lupus, and more, not as a badge of honour, but as an invitation to give yourself some grace if you've been carrying more than you realize. Tara Jo also walks you through a live body scan practice, something she does with her clients inside the Divine Love Healing Collective, so you can start to hear what your body has actually been trying to tell you. Not to fix it or push through it, just to listen. In this episode: * Why transitions, the expected ones and the ones that blindside you, can knock you off your path, and why that's not always a bad thing * What it means to ride the wave of your nervous system versus getting swept under it * Why calm 24/7 is actually kind of a myth, and what regulation really looks like * How to know when your body needs rest versus when it's stuck in freeze * The one thing that has made the biggest difference in Tara Jo's own healing journey There's also a full guided body scan meditation in this episode. If you're somewhere you can close your eyes, do it along with her, and if you're driving, save it for later. If anything comes up for you, Tara Jo would love to hear about it.

What Lights You Up?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2463990/fan_mail/new] Getting Curious About Life Again….. Tara Jo is back on the farm with Bailey Boo and this time there’s a mystery bird stealing the show. This episode picks up where the last one left off. If the first one was about navigating the hard stuff, this one is about what’s on the other side of it — curiosity. Not the self-help version of it. The real kind. The kind that lights something up in your body before your brain can talk you out of it. TJ talks about what happens physically when you let yourself get genuinely curious — about a bird in a field, a vacation you haven’t booked yet, a dream someone told you was ridiculous. And why that feeling, however small, is actually the pathway back to yourself. She also talks about the people in your life who hand you their fear every time you get excited about something. And how that’s theirs to carry, not yours. This one’s grounding and a little bit magic. Just like the farm.
