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 did your body tell you?

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.

When You Don’t Recognize Yourself Anymore

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2463990/fan_mail/new] Find your way back home.  Recorded from the family farm in Saskatchewan, birds, wind, and all, Tara Jo woke up thinking about transitions. Health. Grief. Loss. The kind of stuff that piles up until you don’t really recognize yourself anymore.  Until finding yourself again feels like its own full-time job. So she hit record and just started talking. This episode is about choice.  Choice in the things already in your toolbox that you’ve stopped reaching for. Using your voice when you feel like nobody’s listening anyway. Shaking your body out behind the barn when no one’s watching. Asking for help when you don’t even know what you need yet. TJ’s been navigating her own hard season lately, and she’s not pretending otherwise. If something in your life has been feeling off and you can’t quite name it, this one’s for you.

What If Your Body Already Knows?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2463990/fan_mail/new] In this episode, Tara Jo is getting ready to travel back to Saskatchewan and noticing everything that comes with going home. Grief, memory, family dynamics, and old experiences start to surface — including past trauma, advocacy for her brother, and moments that have stayed in her body long after they happened. As she prepares for the trip, she shares what it feels like to be in a big decision-making season where the mind wants clarity, but the body is holding a different kind of truth. This episode explores what it’s like to navigate grief and emotional healing while also paying attention to nervous system responses, intuition vs overthinking, and the signals the body gives when something feels safe or not safe. Tara reflects on: * grief and family loss * going back to places tied to emotional memory * nervous system responses and body awareness * intuition vs fear when making decisions * overthinking and mental loops * learning to trust the body’s signals over mental pressure If you’ve ever felt pulled in one direction but your body didn’t fully agree, or if going home brings up more than you expected, this conversation will meet you there.

How Are You…. Really?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2463990/fan_mail/new] This episode is a quiet invitation to come back to yourself. Tara Jo sits down for an honest conversation about the moments we ignore our inner world while trying to keep up with everyday life. The constant noise. The pressure to keep going. The subtle ways our bodies and emotions try to get our attention long before we finally slow down enough to listen. Throughout this episode, Tara speaks about: * checking in with yourself in simple, practical ways * noticing the messages behind exhaustion, irritation, anxiety, and disconnect * the patterns many of us learned growing up around staying quiet, over-performing, or disconnecting from our needs * understanding nervous system responses without shame * learning how to recognize when you’ve left yourself emotionally, mentally, or physically * creating small moments of pause that help you reconnect to what you actually need She also opens up about the deeper intention behind the Divine Love Healing Collective and why consistent support, community, and self-awareness can create meaningful shifts over time. This conversation feels less like a lesson and more like sitting beside someone who is reminding you that you’re allowed to slow down, breathe, and pay attention to yourself again. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stretched thin, disconnected from your body, or unsure of what you need lately, this episode is for you.
