What if the way you show up in your relationships is being shaped more by guilt, fear, and old patterns than by true choice?

In this Live Brighter Season Rewind episode, Tara revisits powerful conversations around people-pleasing, guilt, toxic environments, and the cost of chronic overgiving. Together, these episodes explore how our inner world influences our boundaries, our self-worth, and the relationships we stay in—even when they drain us.

This episode invites you to notice what you tolerate, question why saying no feels so hard, and begin rebuilding relationships from a place of clarity, self-trust, and emotional safety.

✨ If you've ever felt stuck between being kind and being honest with yourself, this conversation is for you.

Tune in and live brighter.

How do we navigate the painful realities of domestic abuse—especially during the holidays, when everything is supposed to feel joyful?

In this replay episode of Live Brighter with Tara, I revisit one of our most meaningful conversations about recognizing the signs of domestic abuse, understanding the emotional toll it takes, and finding the courage to choose healing and self-love.

Drawing from my own journey of leaving an abusive relationship, I share how clarity and self-awareness become the first steps toward freedom. We'll talk about breaking cycles of abuse, rebuilding self-worth, and creating a safe space for emotional and spiritual recovery.

✨ Whether you or someone you love is struggling, this conversation offers awareness, compassion, and hope—reminding you that healing is possible and you are never alone.

In this guided meditation, you're invited into a moment of stillness where the warm, shimmering golden light of God gently surrounds you.
Together, we walk through a powerful visualization that helps you release what's been weighing on you, soften your body, and return to a place of unconditional love and self-acceptance.

As the light moves from your head to your heart and down through your entire body, you'll be reminded that you are supported, seen, and deeply loved. This meditation is here to help you let go, reconnect with your breath, and rest in a peace that has been reaching toward you all along.

Take a deep breath, settle in, and allow this golden light to hold you.
