Are the beliefs you formed in childhood still running your life today—without you even knowing it?

In this episode of Live Brighter With Tara, I explore the subconscious “agreements” we make as children that often go on to limit our growth, relationships, and self-worth. I’ll share a powerful hypnotherapy case study with a client named Jane, who overcame a deep fear of men by reprogramming her internal beliefs and reclaiming her personal power.

We’ll dive into the psychology behind limiting beliefs, how emotional trauma gets stored in the subconscious, and the healing tools that can help you break free from patterns that keep you stuck.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to break generational cycles, heal emotional wounds, and step into greater clarity, connection, and confidence.

🎧 Tune in now to start recognizing the silent agreements holding you back—and learn how to rewrite them so you can live brighter and more free.

Is your nervous system stuck in survival mode—and you don’t even know it?
In this week’s episode of Live Brighter With Tara, I open up about my personal journey through grief and how it led to unexpected dysregulation in my nervous system.

This conversation highlights how unhealed trauma and spiritual warfare can disrupt our peace, cloud our clarity, and keep us stuck in survival mode. I’ll share practical tools—like journaling, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation techniques—that have helped me move from emotional chaos to deeper calm and resilience.

This episode is a gentle reminder that healing and meaning often go hand-in-hand—and that honoring our lives (and those we love) starts with choosing to live fully, even in the face of pain.

What if the man in your life is silently suffering?

In this episode of Live Brighter With Tara, I sit down with my husband, Mike Shawn, to have an honest and vulnerable conversation about male victims of domestic abuse—a topic rarely discussed, but deeply important.

Through personal stories and practical insight, we unpack the emotional impact of staying silent and the steps couples can take to build deeper, healthier connections.

This conversation highlights the power of communication, compassion, and breaking generational patterns—and why understanding each other’s past is essential to healing together.

Have you been taught that being selfless means silencing your voice?
In this week’s episode of Live Brighter With Tara, we’re exploring the emotional and spiritual cost many Christian women face when they’ve been raised to prioritize others at the expense of their own identity and well-being.

I’ll be diving into my personal story—how traditional belief systems shaped my view of womanhood, and how I began the journey of questioning, unlearning, and reclaiming my voice. We’ll look at how internalized messages around servanthood and sacrifice can create emotional disconnection, suppress ambition, and lead to chronic guilt or self-abandonment.

This conversation is about more than just personal growth—it’s about spiritual healing, emotional liberation, and learning to honor the God-given light within you.

✨ Ready to break free from limiting beliefs and live more fully in your truth?
Tune in for encouragement, insight, and empowering steps to let go of guilt, rediscover your worth, and live brighter from the inside out.
