    Full Moon Release: Why We Resist Change (And How to Let It Move Through You)

    This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation, so if you haven't listened to yesterday's episode yet, start there first!  Sitting in the sun with Bailey Boo, Tara Jo talks about something she's been witnessing leading up to this full moon. The things women have been tolerating for way too long are suddenly impossible to ignore, and this full moon is creating a real opportunity to stop pretending and start transforming. Tara Jo explores why we resist change even when we know we need it, what happens when we let big emotions rise and be heard instead of suppressing them, and how clearing subconscious beliefs opens the door to a life that feels like yours again. She also gets personal about her brother's passing two years ago, what grief has looked like this year, and why she has made a conscious choice to come back to joy, to peace, and to the magic of life. If you've been feeling off, foggy, or like something just isn't sitting right, this episode will meet you where you are. In this episode: Why we resist change even when part of us is desperate for itHow subconscious beliefs quietly keep us stuckWhat happens when we let emotions move through us instead of pushing them downHow emotional resilience gives you your power backWhat the Foundations 12-week journey is and who it's forJoin Tara Jo live for the Full Moon Release Session on Friday May 1st at 5 PM Mountain Time.

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

    (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.

    What happens when you step through the doorway of midlife and everything you thought you knew about yourself starts to shift?  In this nourishing conversation, Tara Jo sits down with Tara Preston, ( a midlife matriarchal awakening and transition guide, sacred nourishment and feminine prosperity mentor ),  to explore the sacred initiations that call us into our fullest expression as women. Tara Preston, creator of the Flower of Life Akashic Method and founder of the Akashic Women's School, shares her journey from makeup artist to transformational guide, and why midlife isn't a decline — it's a recalibration into greater clarity, vitality, and embodied leadership.

    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.
