BRAVE LEADERS

 

what it really means to be of service


Being a Brave Leader means having the ability

To stay grounded in the midst of chaos

 

It means having the ability to share from the heart

It means knowing when to tune the noise OUT

And when to let the opinions of those you trust IN

 

It means having some serious discernment

And having the humility to know that our learning never ends

 

It means remaining coachable while you coach others

It means being an incredible teacher

And an even better student

 

It means actively seeking constructive feedback

From at least one trusted source on a regular basis

 

It means being receptive to spending time, money, and resources

On mentorship that is aligned with your values

 

And I can’t emphasize this piece enough

It means working with mentors 

Who actually have what you want in Life

 

And if you aren’t currently in a position

Where you have the money or resources to spend

On mentorship


Then it might mean being willing to offer your skills and gifts

In exchange for the high level mentoring your Soul desires



Because if there's anything I know about leadership

It's the fact that nothing will help you shift faster than:

  1. Your personal commitment to doing the work

  2. Having the right people to help you on your journey

 

Being a Brave Leader also means not opting for the easy way

Just because it’s easy

 

It means speaking the truth no matter how uncomfortable

Or how unpopular that truth may be

 

It means not trying to be

All “love and light” when what you really feel

Is sorrow and rage

 

It means honoring your emotions

All of them

 

Because you understand that

Until you know what it means to honor your own process

You will not truly be able to honor anyone else's

 

It means being able to do all this

Without lashing out, without going unconscious, and without

Making your feelings 

Anyone else’s responsibility

Because our feelings are never anyone else's responsibility

 

This can be a tricky one

Especially because it’s easy 

To dress up pain and anger

As activism

 

But when you tap into a higher level of self-awareness 

Which is always available to you

You will very clearly feel the difference

 

It will be apparent in your body

Especially if your diet is clean and plant-based

 

Sometimes being a Brave Leader

Means staying silent until you get your energy right

 

Because ultimately it’s your energy that people feel

Far more than the words you speak

 

More than anything

Being a Brave Leader

Means you know 

In every cell of your being

That The Holy Mother and The Holy Father

Are working their Magic THROUGH you

 

We are here to be of service

To the whole of humanity

Above all else

 

Love is still the highest truth 

 

And joy is still our natural state

 

It’s time for us to remember

IT'S TIME

 

Time to come forth
Time to listen
Time to follow


In the midst of all the chaos 

There is a stillness

If you really listen

 

There is a voice

A voice long forgotten

Perhaps a voice 

From lifetimes ago

S/he is telling you

That it’s Time

 

Time to come forth

Time to listen

Time to follow

Your Soul’s true calling

 

Time to finally do the thing

You truly came

To this planet

To do

 

You know

Don’t you

What that thing is

 

But you probably tell yourself a story

That you don’t really know

That you haven’t "figured it out"

Quite yet

 

For years I told myself a story too

About how I had to “choose”

About how I couldn’t really

Be or Do or Have it all

 

I couldn’t be the girl

Who talked about social activism 

And entrepreneurship

And money

 

The girl who valued 

Business seminars 

And vegan protests

 

I couldn’t work with athletes

While ranting about spirituality 

And humanity and the collective good

 

But I was wrong

Because the truth is

You can be whoever

You wanna be

 

You don’t need me

You don't need time

And you don't need 

Permission

To be who you are

 

The other truth 

Is that not everyone

Is going to like it

 

Not everyone 

Is going to approve

 

Some will ridicule you

To your face

Others will talk behind your back

Many will follow you from a distance

Keeping closer eyes on you

Then your so-called enemies

 

But when you understand

That you came here

For a reason

It makes it so much easier

To tune out the noise

 

It makes it so much easier

To realize 

That in the end

There is only One

You will have to answer to

 

Journaling Exercise:

 

So I’ll ask you a question

That one of my mentors 

Once asked me

 

If I handed you a megaphone

And you had 30 seconds 

To talk to the entire world 

What would you say?

 

What message

What wisdom

Would you leave behind?

 

What would you want 

Humanity to know?

 

Because that’s where 

Your passion really lies

It’s in the conversations

You have 

With your closest friends

 

It’s in the magic 

Of what inspires you

And angers you

And brings you to tears

 

It’s the stuff that most of us
Keep to ourselves

Or write in our journals

 

It's the stuff on our Hearts

The real us

Unmasked

Unveiled

 

Knowing 

That we may be mocked

 

Knowing full well

That people may have 

Not-so-nice things

To say about us

 

And sometimes even knowing

Who those people are

But consciously choosing

Not to let it matter

 

Your purpose 

Is so much bigger 

Than your stories

It’s so much bigger 

Than your fear

 

Joy is your natural state

It’s time for you to remember

OUR STORIES

 

It can take courage
To let people know
They've wronged us


But sometimes
It takes 
Even more courage
To let our hurts
Go

Reason being
That to let
Other people
Off the hook
Requires complete
And total
Faith
In ourselves

Faith
In the possibility
That our future
Will in no way
Resemble our past

Faith
That we 
And we alone
Are enough

It’s often much easier
To hold on
To the story

Even though
It no longer
Serves us

It’s often 
More comfortable
To stay
With what
Is known

That to surrender
To the unknown

We often
Tell ourselves
A story 
About how ONE day
We’ll make the change 

How one day
We’ll make the shift

One day
Just as soon
As we "feel" ready

But for most people
That one day
Turns into many days
Many years
Many decades 

And we find
Ourselves
Still here

Still waiting
Still telling our story
The SAME story

To whoever will listen

Often this story
Is a story
From long, long ago

Often it involves people
Who are no longer here
In a physical body

I'm not writing this
To bring you down

I want you to know
Your pain is valid
And your story is real

But you still
Get to
Make a decision

A decision that says
From this second on
You’re going to say
Goodbye
To the old story
And that you’re going 
To write a new one
To take its place

You can thank your story
For it has kept you safe
All these years

But you no longer need
Your story
Because now
You have You

Now you can rely
On You

Yes YOU
Can count on You

I promise you
No matter what anybody
May have told you 
No matter what
You may have been through

You can learn
To trust yourself
Again 

You have the courage
To let your hurts go

To let your story go

You haven't missed anything

Your story has served
Its purpose
It's safe to let it go

You - even without your hurts
Even without your story

Are enough

Joy is your natural state
It’s time for you to remember

To our collective growth,

YOUR CALLING

 

HUMANITY NEEDS YOU


So here’s the thing 

The life you dream of

The things that keep you up at night

The message you have to share with the world 

And the money and impact you came to make

 

These treasures

And more

Are unleashed

In direct proportion

To your level of commitment 

 

God is always asking us

Whether we hear Him or not

 

“Are you truly willing 

To follow your Highest Calling

Are you truly willing

To do what it takes”

 

Now I’m not gonna sit here and tell you
That I have it all figured out

Because I don’t

But what I can tell you for sure is this

 

No amount of positive thinking

Or attending seminars and workshops 

Is ever going to create the life you want

If you’re not willing to do at least

The following 3 things:
 

  1. Commit Fully To The Path Of Growth

This sounds obvious enough

But how often do we say one thing

And then go off and do another

 

How often do we proclaim our big goals

Perhaps to friends 

Or even publicly on social media

But when it comes down to it

We choose to go out partying 

Instead of creating an offer

 

We choose to complain about issues

We have no direct control over

Instead of expressing appreciation

To the people in our lives who truly love us

 

We choose to spend time with people

Who are totally out of alignment 

With our greater purpose

Instead of spending that time alone

Nourishing our bodies

Or finally reading that book

That we know can have a massive impact

On our business or our relationship 

 

I think you guys get the point

But I can’t over-state the importance 

Of this first step

Because everything begins with a decision

And if you’re decision isn’t non-negotiable

Then it’s not really a decision
 

2. Be Willing To Face Your Pain

This is a big one

And I can promise you

If you don’t like these words

There’s a really good chance 

That your (unprocessed) pain

And hurt is holding you back

Probably in all areas of your life

But definitely in business

 

Because we can only receive 

What we have the capacity to hold

And the more pain your body is holding onto 

The less room there is for the light to come through

Or for the relationship, money, or impact you desire 

To be yours 

 

There are many solutions here

But just a few ways

To address underlying, unprocessed emotions:

 

• Private 1:1 therapy with someone you actually trust

Is obviously one way 

 

• I also really like and recommend EFT 

It’s a simple practice which has helped me 

To unlock and release a lot over the years   

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique 

You can look it up on YouTube 

The best part of this is that you can do it

In the privacy of your own home

 

• If you’re in the LA area

Or can get yourself here

You can follow this link

To apply to attend an event called

Transformation Day

There is really nothing quite like full immersion

 

And this is hands-down the most impactful

Single-day event I’ve ever attended

And I’ve attended A LOT of events 

If you wanna know more 

Feel free to hit reply to this email
 

3. Be Willing To Get Support 

Because all the information in the world

Won’t do you any good

Unless you continue to integrate 

Everything you’re learning 

And continue to do so on a consistent basis

 

I can assure you 

That nobody you know

Who’s playing a really big game

Is doing it without support 

Including myself

 

There’s a team of people supporting me

Behind the scenes 

And there is absolutely no question

That I wouldn’t be where I am without them

 

You KNOW when you feel called

And not only do you owe it to Yourself

To pursue those nudges

To Listen to that tugging in your Soul

But the world needs you

Humanity needs you

Like it has never needed you before

The world is waiting on you to release the layers

Of fear, doubt, and shame

 

To share your story 

To share your gifts 

To do it in a way that’s totally

100% special and unique to you

Humanity is calling on all of us

With a message

With the knowing  

That there is so much more to Life

Than we’re currently experiencing

To rise 

 

But first you have to decide

This has to matter more to you than absolutely anything

If you think I’m exaggerating 

I’m not

And you already know 

That this is your time

That joy is your natural state

And that humanity has been waiting lifetimes for you

 

To our collective growth,

 

Tara x

Nobody Else Has The Key To Your Life, Only You — And Deep Down You Know It 🔐🌱 Other people are an inconsistent and unreliable source of guidance at best.

Own it

 

The world needs your knowledge, your gifts, your passion.
Humanity has been waiting lifetimes for you.


I had a dream last night, it was unlike any dream I’ve ever had before. It put the fragility of life directly before me. This dream, which was more of a nightmare tbh, I believe happened in order to encode my cells with a deep understanding that life is very short. And that once we go, the opportunity for change in this lifetime goes with us.

Of course from a very broad perspective, that’s alright because Spirit never dies. But from the equally important perspective that acknowledges how important the work we came here to do is, dying would not help as much as living fully into our purpose would.

So then the question becomes how to live. How to live fully. How to live for oneself. How to live for our true purpose. How to totally embody our planetary mission. How to cultivate our relationship with God. How to become a true vessel. How to do it and how to do it as quickly as possible because there are many things humanity is waiting on us to stand up and claim.

But none of these things can happen without more people like me and you standing up and declaring that it is so. We have immeasurable power amongst us. We have immeasurable power within us. But we have to own it. We have to stand up. We have to do the internal work. We have to speak up. We have to be VERY clear on why we’re here and what we’re here to do. Because without clarity we can’t be confident. And without confidence, we can’t do much.

The other truth is that we rise together. And I want to help you rise. Just as people have helped (and continue to help) me rise.

THE TIME IS ALWAYS NOW

 

There is no such thing as “ready” - there is only “ready enough” and you are beyond ready enough.


Stop acting as if you don’t have all the information you need to step into the highest version of you Now. Stop putting it off until some undefined future.

Stop thinking you’re not ready. Whether it’s to leave that bad situation you’re in, to FULLY SHOW UP at work, to share that vulnerable post, or finally try going vegan - 21 day vegan challenge link in my bio if you’re interested.

Regardless of what it is, it’s important to know that (from a neurobiological perspective) you will never be ready.

There is no such thing as “ready” - there is only “ready enough” and you are beyond ready enough. 🌱👽

Let’s practice the kindness we say we want to see in the world. Because the way we talk and think about others is always a reflection of the way we talk and think about ourselves.

WHY WE SHAME EACH OTHER

 

THE SHORT ANSWER IS BECAUSE WE SHAME OURSELVES.


Despite the abundance of self-help and feel good memes at our fingertips these days, on a neurobiological level, your brain is still wired to tell you that you’re never gonna get it quite right.

That you’re never gonna be exactly the way you’re “supposed to” be. That there will always be somebody doing it better.

It’s the voice that rears her ugly head the moment you go to publish that vulnerable post, or post that racy photo. Even posting this is slightly uncomfortable for me. It’s the voice that says: “Who do you think you are? Your message isn’t THAT important. You’re not pretty enough to post that. You haven’t gone through enough (or if that’s not true for you) you’ve gone through WAY too much. You’re too “broken” to help anyone. Nobody will listen. What if they don’t like you. Better to stay quiet. You know you won’t be able to handle the criticism. Haven’t you taken up enough space in the world already. Haven’t you caused enough problems. Maybe you’re past your prime. You’re never going to get it right anyway. Maybe it’s time to be more realistic. Maybe mom and dad were right after all . . .” You guys get the picture. The list literally goes on ad infinitum.

If it’s one thing I’ve learned over all these years it’s that the voice doesn’t just go away on its own. You have to actually do the thing you’re afraid of doing. You have to say the thing you’re afraid to say. You have to share the vulnerability.

Basically, you have to take the risk. EVEN THOUGH IT’S SCARY. You have to let that critical voice momentarily take a backseat. And eventually fade into the background of your life.

You have to know that you’re enough. No matter what anyone else says or does. Because you ARE enough. Just as you are. And understand that that voice is there to keep you “safe” — it doesn’t care if you’re happy — so it’s our job to re-educate the voice.

And you know what really helps!? The feeling of safety with the people we’re around. So I say let’s start by being nicer to each other on online, on social media.

Let’s practice the kindness we say we want to see in the world. Because the way we talk and think about others is always a reflection of the way we talk and think about ourselves.

It matters to tell your story

 

MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE TODAY, I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT IT MATTERS TO SPEAK YOUR TRUTH.


Today, as Duke and I spend our last official day in LA and I’m loading up the car and reflecting on the past 13+ months of not only fun and travel (which is most of what I’ve posted), but also the heartache, the mis-aligned relationships, the battles with my inner demons — there are a lot of emotions coming to the surface, so that they can be released and healed once and for all.
.
More than anything else today, I want to remind you that it matters to speak your truth. It matters to tell your story. It matters to speak for justice. It matters to speak up for those who have no voice. This is the only way for humanity to find our way back.
.
But it isn’t enough just to speak. We must also do the inner emotional work of releasing our bondage to the past. Because there is a world of difference between speaking from a place of love, versus speaking from a place of fear.
.
And Love is the only path through which we will return to our natural state of joy and well-being. By vibrating so high that everything which is not love simply falls out of our field. This is how we will create heaven on Earth.
.

“Be careful what you ask for,” they say ...

 

WHO’S REALLY ASKING FOR THE LIFE YOU SAY YOU WANT


“Be careful what you ask for,” they say.

I never did understand that.

Be careful WHY?
Because you just might get it?
Isn’t that the whole point?
To get the things we ask for?

It may be subtle, but the fear-based message is still there. The msg that you can’t really trust yourself to even ask for the right things in life.

Maybe the updated wisdom parents can teach their kids is to question WHO is doing the asking.
Like seriously, the words might be coming out of YOUR mouth, but who’s really asking for that job?

That house?

That relationship with that ONE specific person?

Who’s really asking for the life you say you want (or are actually living)? Is it your parents?
Is it society?
Your husband?
Your wife?
Your ego?

Because if it isn’t truly you, if it’s not coming from the depths of your Soul, then even if you do achieve the so-called dream, it will be someone’s else’s life . . .

Someone else’s dream.
To our collective growth,
Tara x
