Get ready for a fantastic show with my good friend Tara Garrison!

Tara is an Instagram/fitness sensation and certified personal trainer, nutritionist, and mindset coach who helps high performers and everyday people be their best. In today’s show, Tara shares her incredible and touching backstory in the hopes of inspiring you to join her in the journey she has been on to transform her entire existence. You will hear Tara’s amazing personal story of transformation, starting from her challenging and traumatic childhood and family life, how she found her way and discovered her personal power to become a spiritual and healthy lifestyle guide, and how she lost everything and was forced to forge a new path for herself, all by herself.

You will also hear the reflections Tara has learned that will help you check in with yourself and monitor your stress/rest balance, mindset, goals, ego, and reasons for consuming and participating in social media. It is so helpful to hear from someone on this path, especially when you hear Tara continually express her gratitude for so many things in her life that would make most people feel pretty resentful.



TIMESTAMPS:

A powerful guide in Tara’s life is intuition. Listen to your body.  You don’t need a strict and rigid schedule. [05:01]

Tara went from being overweight and regimented in her diet to finding a more casual approach that brought r6esults she wanted. [11:22]

What was the journey Tara took to get to her present state to really unhealthy? It was a trauma response. [13:27]

There is much mindset work that you have to do on a journey to getting healthy. [19:30]

You learn so much by working with a coach. [24:37]

How does one have a real relationship with your body? [27:08]

When you are trying to override unhealthy cravings, learn to meditate to educate your body on what is the best thing for how you want to live your life. [31:35]

Are you going to choose the old patterns or the new patterns? [36:20]

It is hard to make that change from “I should” or “I have to” to “I want to do this for myself.” [40:49]

In what way were the plant medicines and alternative health practices a catalyst for Tara? [51:03]

Learn to really feel what you are feeling and learn from that what is most helpful to personal growth. [54:41]

Guilt is one of the most corrosive emotions. [01:03:01]
