    Navigating Projections and Boundaries in Life & Business

    Have you ever noticed friction or unexpected shifts in your relationships or business just as you start stepping into deeper alignment?  Come lean in and explore a deeply reflective space with me. In this episode,  I am unpacking a personal lesson around client boundaries, emotional projections, and the discomfort that often arises when we stop trying to be the "saviour" and instead invite others to turn inward. Whether you are an entrepreneur or simply navigating human connection, this conversation is an invitation to explore the realities of emotional safety, somatic awareness, and why having honest, conscious conversations matters so much. Key Takeaways Honoring Your Boundaries: Recognizing when your energy is being pushed and giving yourself permission to step into a fair, aligned exchange.Stepping Out of the Savior Role: Understanding why true transformation happens when we hold space rather than carrying everyone else's answers.Somatic Awareness: Exploring why "issues are in your tissues," how your body signals out-of-alignment dynamics, and how to gently sit with uncomfortable emotions.The Power of Conscious Connection: Why conflict doesn’t have to mean ghosting or shutting down, and how nervous system regulation creates safer spaces for real dialogue.Send us Fan Mail Support the show Thank you for tuning in to the Love Your Journey podcast! 💖  If this episode spoke to your heart, I’d love it if you shared it with someone who needs a little magic today.

    I Knew There Had to Be More: A New Diagnosis After Two Concussions

    For more than a year, Tara Jo kept hearing the same thing: This is just post-concussive syndrome. This is something you’re going to have to learn to live with. But something inside her kept saying there had to be more. In this episode, Tara Jo shares what led to a diagnosis of severe growth hormone deficiency after two concussions, a condition that can occur after a brain injury but isn’t always recognized. She opens up about the kind of depletion she’s struggled to put into words, why the thought of daily injections has brought up unexpected emotions, and how memories of caring for her brother have shaped the way she’s approaching this next chapter. More than a conversation about a diagnosis, this episode is about self-advocacy, trusting your instincts, and holding onto hope when the answers aren’t coming easily. Tara Jo also shares the simple practices that have supported her through recovery, from changing the way she speaks to herself to using visualization and gentle mindset shifts to create more space for possibility. If you’ve ever felt like your body wasn’t cooperating, or you’ve known deep down that something wasn’t adding up, this episode is a reminder to keep asking questions, keep listening to yourself, and remember that sometimes another piece of the puzzle is still waiting to be found.

    When Someone Tells You To Calm Down

    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 everythingThe difference between acute overwhelm and trauma responses that keep replayingHow to come back into your own energy after feeling dismissed or unheardWhat 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

    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 thingWhat it means to ride the wave of your nervous system versus getting swept under itWhy calm 24/7 is actually kind of a myth, and what regulation really looks likeHow to know when your body needs rest versus when it's stuck in freezeThe one thing that has made the biggest difference in Tara Jo's own healing journeyThere'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?

    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.
