    Holy Shit, Where Did I Go?! (For The Overwhelmed Caregivers)

    What does it mean to be a caregiver when you're drowning in everyone else's needs? As the 2nd anniversary of her brother Cory's passing approaches, Tara Jo reflects on the pattern she's noticed over decades of working with women: most are caregivers in some capacity. Whether they're nurses, teachers, moms of children with complex medical needs, or even dog moms - they all share the same exhausted story. This episode explores that slow trajectory where you don't even notice you're losing yourself until one day you wake up thinking "holy shit, where did I go?" This episode covers: Why most caregivers are at highest risk for burnout, depression, and chronic painThe difference between real self-care and "spa day" band-aids that don't address the rootHow medical gaslighting adds another layer of depletionWhy "just sleep more" is actually a warning sign you're already burnt outMicro-moments that matter: breath awareness, somatic check-ins, and asking "what does my body need?"The identity shift from survival mode to sustainable caregivingHow quality of care decreases when caregivers don't care for themselves Tara Jo's message: "What's best for you is actually best for everyone else. You chose this role because you love helping - you need to give that love to yourself too." Perfect for overwhelmed caregivers ready to stop pouring from an empty cup and create sustainable ways to care for others AND themselves.

    Radical Honesty About Burnout, Bitterness & Beginning Again with Debbie Mitten

    This one has been months in the making!  Tara Jo finally sits down with Debbie Mitten, an intuitive business coach for heart-centered women, recovering corporate strategist, and the woman who once taught wedding guests the Macarena (with the bonus of big hair). After 37 years balancing corporate by day and fronting a band by night, Debbie ended up in the ER — burned out, laid off, and suddenly starting over at 59. Now in year two of her business, she’s getting radically honest about what it’s actually like. This is the conversation the coaching industry doesn’t want you to hear. No $10K month promises. No pretending everything’s great. Just the truth. From dragging your ass no matter how much sleep you get, to learning how to take a break without feeling unsafe… to figuring out the difference between your intuition and your fearful voice. If you’ve been waiting for permission to slow down, have a reality check, or start doing it all for yourself… Pull up a chair, my friends. This one is worth the listen.

    How to Stop Pushing and Start Listening to Your Body Wisdom

    A conversation about nervous system regulation, burnout recovery, body wisdom, and finding clarity during life transitions. In this reflective Saturday episode, Tara Jo records after a snowstorm in Alberta, with the sun shining as a reminder that after every storm, the light comes through. With everything happening in the world — politics, the environment, and our own personal lives — it’s easy to get swept off our feet. When we’re pushing and pushing, it can feel exhausting. Tara Jo shares why the pause is not falling behind, it’s your own wisdom being able to show itself   She reflects on completing the Illuminate Your Journey series and the beauty of giving ourselves a place to start. Not the end goal. Just the beginning. Because when we simplify and root back into our foundation  whether that’s a ritual, somatic practice, mindset shift, or reaching out for support — clarity begins to emerge. In this episode, she explores: • Why getting started can feel harder than finishing • Outside pressure and trusting your own timing • The difference between being “busy” and being beautifully full • Listening to body wisdom before making decisions • Finding pleasure in the small moments of everyday life This conversation isn’t about telling listeners what to do. It’s about guiding women back to their own wisdom. The body is always reading the room. It’s always giving information — if we slow down enough to listen. For anyone feeling foggy, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next step, this episode is a reminder that the magic often lives in the in-between.

    Embodied Feminine Leadership & Sustainable Wealth with Jessica Riverson

    In this episode of the Love Your Journey Podcast, Tara Jo is joined by mentor Jessica Riverson—feminine energy mentor, money breakthrough coach, and Business Priestess somatic practitioner—for a grounded conversation about the real reason so many entrepreneurs struggle with money. Jessica shares her origin story (from undercharging and over-discounting in her first business to becoming a leader in somatic money work), and unpacks why money patterns aren’t just “mindset problems”, that they’re often rooted in nervous system trauma related looping patterns. Together, Tara Jo and Jessica explore how shame, safety, visibility, and misalignment can quietly drive our money behaviours… and how community, being witnessed, and the right support can create profound shifts over time. You’ll hear about: Why you can “know what to do” and still not do it (and what that points to)The difference between strategy blocks, mindset loops, and somatic patternsHow people-pleasing shows up in pricing and receivingWhy money is a neutral tool and how it mirrors self-worth, power, and truthThe role of community in dissolving shame and expanding what feels possibleJessica’s 5-week program Embodied Money (somatic money + practical tools + deeper work)If you’ve done the money mindset work but still feel like you’re chasing, freezing, discounting, or “stuck in a loop,” this episode offers a different lens.
