Formerly the Intuitive Mentor Mom Podcast, now Rooted & Rising is a space for those ready to stop living life on autopilot and start living it by design. Hosted by Tara Mychelle — woman, mother, entrepreneur, friend, daughter, corporate professional, and energy practitioner — this podcast is born from the roots of challenge and the rise of self-discovery. Here, we explore the truth that life isn’t happening to us, it’s happening for us. When we release the victim within, we reclaim our power as the hero of our own story. Through healing and transformation, we create an inner world so rich and aligned that our outer world naturally reflects it. With personal stories, raw reflections, and inspiring conversations, each episode invites you to deepen your roots in self-awareness, self-love, and truth — and rise into your fullest self-expression. Together, we’ll explore everything from love, relationships, and parenting to health, spirituality, and the courage it takes to live fully awake. This is your invitation to heal, transform, and create a life you love — from the inside out. Get rooted. Rise high. And live the story you were born to tell. https://www.souldspaces.com/https://www.taramychelle.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXAqUOQmXbileD1LA-JE83Q

    45: Wine as Medicine: Sacred Ritual & Conscious Drinking w/ Sophia Cecilia

    Send us a text In this episode of Rooted & Rising, we explore wine as medicine, story, and spirit. What if the glass you hold isn’t an escape… but a portal to presence? I’m joined by Sophia Cecilia, a wine professional and shamanic storyteller who bridges natural wine, indigenous wisdom, and ritual to help us remember the sacred inside every bottle.  We talk about wine as ceremony instead of numbing, how alcohol is highly programmable with intention and prayer, and why so much mass-produced alcohol carries the imprint of greed, disconnection, and burnout in the body. Sophia shares how working with small artisanal growers in Europe, volcanic soils, storm energy, and biodynamic practices opened her eyes to wine as a living, elemental ally—not just something to “drink to forget.”  You’ll hear about: Seeing wine as spirit and alchemy, not just alcoholHow intention, blessing, and ritual can change how wine lands in your bodyWhy natural, artisanal wines feel different than industrial alcoholClimate, soil, and planetary rhythms as part of the story in your glassTurning holiday drinking into sacred, conscious celebration instead of self-abandonment If you’re rethinking your relationship with alcohol, curious about natural wine, or craving more intentional rituals in your daily life, this conversation will shift how you pour, taste, and commune.

    42: The Power of the Pause w/ Karen Bartholomew | Healing Burnout, Feminine Energy, & Conscious Living

    Send us a text What if slowing down is actually the secret to moving forward? In this deeply grounding episode of Rooted & Rising, host Tara Mychelle sits down with transformational coach and author Karen Bartholomew to explore The Power of the Pause—a simple yet life-changing practice that helps you reset your energy, reconnect with your intuition, and make aligned choices without burning out. Karen opens up about how early childhood stories of not-enoughness shaped her success-driven adulthood—and how a four-month intentional pause helped her rediscover her voice, self-worth, and purpose. From that transformation came The PAUSE Method, a practical framework for mindful living, emotional healing, and conscious decision-making. Together, Tara and Karen unpack: How to recognize the signs that you need a pause before burnout hitsWhy acceptance isn’t giving up—it’s powerful self-leadershipHow your body signals truth long before your mind catches upSimple grounding rituals and micro-habits to anchor calm in your dayThe balance between masculine and feminine energy in business, parenting, and relationshipsHow to set boundaries that protect your peace, purpose, and sacred timeIf you’ve ever believed you have to earn rest or push through until you crash, this episode will help you reframe rest as radical productivity and self-trust. You’ll leave with real stories, simple tools, and an embodied reminder that slowing down isn’t falling behind—it’s finally catching up to your authentic self.

    40: The Fire That Freed Me: How Letting Go Heals Toxic Patterns and Awakens Self-Love

    Send us a text A sealed box can hold more than paper, it can hold years of fear, vigilance, and the version of you who survived. I found mine after thirteen years and chose a simple, sacred ritual: burn what no longer serves. As the pages curled, something else unbound, resentment, confusion, even the quiet hope that proof could keep me safe. What rose in the smoke was space: space for peace, honest love, and a life that matches who I’ve become. We walk through that moment with care, unpacking why “evidence” often keeps old wounds alive and how physical clutter mirrors emotional entanglement. I share the questions that cut through noise..."What am I still keeping that’s ready to burn?", " What does my body know that my mind resists?"; and the deeper layer many of us avoid: our own patterns. Where do we seek validation instead of self-trust? Where do we tolerate half-present love, blurred friendships, or familiar chaos because it feels like home? Clearing the table became my vow to self-devotion, not defiance, and it changed how I choose relationships, work, and daily rhythms. If your heart wants calm more than closure, this conversation offers practice: ritual release, honest boundaries, slower yeses, and a gentler nervous system. Expect themes of healing, intentional living, emotional decluttering, and aligned partnership, woven with story and grounded guidance. Come for the fire, stay for the peace, and maybe leave with your own ritual to mark the shift from bracing for lessons to welcoming blessings. If it resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s ready to let go, and leave a review so more people can find this space.
