    What If Your Body Already Knows?

    Send us Fan Mail 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 lossgoing back to places tied to emotional memorynervous system responses and body awarenessintuition vs fear when making decisionsoverthinking and mental loopslearning to trust the body’s signals over mental pressureIf 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 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 waysnoticing the messages behind exhaustion, irritation, anxiety, and disconnectthe patterns many of us learned growing up around staying quiet, over-performing, or disconnecting from our needsunderstanding nervous system responses without shamelearning how to recognize when you’ve left yourself emotionally, mentally, or physicallycreating small moments of pause that help you reconnect to what you actually needShe 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.

    Minimum Effort, Maximum Satisfaction: The Art of Becoming Unfuckwithable with Kyla Derkach

    Send us Fan Mail Tara Jo sits down with Kyla Derkach, astrology and human design guide and founder of Hatha Astro, for a conversation that goes deeper than chart readings and profile lines. Kyla has been working with astrology since she was nine years old, has a background in business and wine sales, packed up her life in 2017 and moved to Spain alone without speaking the language, and built Hatha Astro out of a decade-long post-traumatic stress experience. She is known for somatic deconditioning and nervous system-led identity work, and her philosophy is simple: minimum effort, maximum satisfaction. This is a conversation about what it actually takes to come back to yourself, not through more information, more studying, or more strategy, but through your body. In this episode: Why knowing your human design type isn't enough and what has to happen in the body before any of it can landThe gap Kyla noticed in the human design and astrology space that led her to create UnfuckwithableWhat somatic deconditioning actually is and why nervous system work is nothing like "calming yourself down."How Tara Jo has been using Unfuckwithable at bedtime to stop the spiral before it starts, and what she's noticed sinceWhy Tara Jo's car accident took away her ability to access her intuition completely, and how getting into the body was the thing that finally brought it backThe real meaning behind minimum effort, maximum satisfaction, and why it has nothing to do with being lazyWhat it means to be a projector who guides energy rather than getting lost in it, and why Tara Jo's containers feel the way they doWhy the only way to deal with the pain is the actual painKyla's current offerings, including Unfuckwithable, Smoke and Mirrors for profile 2s and 5s, and Prodigy, her 10-month deep deconditioning container Connect with Kyla: FREE: Unfuckwithable Deconditioning Guides: https://hathaastro.com/deconditioning-guides Human Design Type Somatic Deconditioning Meditations: https://hathaastro.com/deconditioning-meditations WEBSITE: https://hathaastro.com/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/hatha.astro/?hl=en 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.

    Leave No One Behind: Cory's Story, Caregiver Pay, and the System That's Failing Our Most Vulnerable

    Send us Fan Mail (This episode is a follow-up to last week's conversation with Tracy and Jaime Parent — start there first if you haven't already. ) Something Jaime said about his son Bryan stayed with Tara Jo for days, and this is where she finally puts it into words. Tara Jo shares what it was really like growing up as Cory's sister, the sibling role that quietly became a parenting role, and the years of navigating a system that was never designed to support families like hers. She gets honest about the grief that doesn't follow a timeline, the nonprofit care home she and her sister built from nothing and watched dissolve into nothing, and why caregiver pay is a dignity issue that affects every single one of us. This episode is for the siblings who became caregivers before they knew what that word meant, the moms who have never had a babysitter because no one else can handle it, and anyone carrying the weight of someone else's wellbeing while quietly falling apart themselves. In this episode: What Jaime said that made Tara Jo cry — and why it took days to processThe sibling bond, the parenting role nobody asked for, and why sibling support groups matterTen months in a hospital, a nonprofit built with love, and a system that let it disappearCaregiver pay, trauma-informed care, and what we're all getting wrongGrief that showed up 22 years later — and why that's exactly how grief worksListen to the previous episode with Tracy and Jaime Parent  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.
