Tara Winters is an award winning money and spirituality coach, soul guide, speaker, writer and mother of three.
After years of hiding her spirituality while working as a corporate accountant and downplaying her money wisdom in the spiritual world, she discovered that money and spirituality can, in fact, truly elevate one another.
She now brings her unique medicine to lovingly guide people back to their souls and to radically shift the way they see, relate to and create money so they feel rich, inside and out.
In this conversation, Tara and I discuss:
Her journey of trading corporate finance for spiritual freedom, and how intuition and spirituality play a role in her approach to money and finance coaching. Tara's experiences growing up as a child of Indian parents who had emigrated to Australia and the impact of our upbringing on our perceptions of money.The importance of open, conscious conversations about money, especially for women, and Tara's approach to discussing money with her children and the valuable lessons she's learned from themBalancing motherhood and a career in various stages of parenthood and differing ages of her childrenWhat Tara's self-care practices look like, including spiritual solitude and regulating her nervous systemTara's involvement in writing part of the anthology 'Unity', published by The Kind Press.You can find Tara through her website, over on Instagram at @tarawinters.co and Facebook.

In episode 102, we talked about some really practical strategies that help me feel organised and calm in the busy final months of the year. This time, I want to talk about these final 90 days from a slightly different angle and share five questions I ask myself to maintain momentum in this final stretch of the year. It's not about productivity at all costs, but a gentle approach to working out what's truly important and how I can support myself in this busy period.
Grab a notebook and a pen and have a listen to this short podcast to help you maximise your momentum in the final few months - before you're sitting back relaxing on NYE and contemplating the year that's passed.
