A place to discover your gifts, capacities and abilities to create the life experience that you truly desire, by BEING the fullness of you!
I am so excited to bring you this conversation. I am certain that many of you will be able to relate, as I did, with the need to stop looking for permission to be and choose and to start giving it to yourself. Danielle is an amazing woman that I adore. All guests on my show embody what they bring to the world. They are a gift that I want to share with more people. They are real, authentic, brilliant and even messy, but that is where the fun is! There is even an emotional point in the middle of our conversation where the electronics nearly gave up on us as they glitched. In those moments we are acknowledging so powerfully that we request that all systems raise to another level to stay with us. Danielle owns Reverse the Kerrs Farm with her husband and from that magical place she runs Chicago Goat Yoga.

Most people think about money when the word investing comes up, and it is true, we invest with our money, but we invest with so much more. What are you investing in with your:thoughts?words?actions?purchases?gifts?energy?time? We can either get behind our desires or we can destroy them with how we invest in every moment of our day. We can also dilute our potency by not knowing what or how we are able to invest. Do you know what:you want your life to be like?how you want to feel in it?how you want to be or react within it? Do you know where you want to go? Those questions are key. Then knowing how you are investing in or depleting/destroying the journey with your thoughts, choices, words and actions is the key to success, limbo or destruction. Notice what you:talk aboutthink aboutcelebratecomplain aboutchooselisten to etc Those choices are creating your present and your future more than you realize....more than the outer circumstances. One thing I know to be true. We are powerful BEYOND our understanding. As I work with clients I am constantly in AWE of what they create when they get clear on what they want, who they want to be and the ways they are willing to invest in those desires on a moment to moment basis. What are you investing in each moment? If you need any help to get clear and to forge a powerful, miraculous path forward, don't hesitate to reach out or set up a complimentary 30 minute Discovery Call with me at TaraMcCallam.com/services Otherwise, have fun creating your path forward knowing that you have the power to create what you might have thought was impossible, but truly with your investment of time, energy, choice and action is more than possible!!!
In a world where you are either supposed to be a servant or someone who knows how to have your own back, it can feel like you are constantly either at war with yourself or wondering what in the world to do. Today I would like to share a short story with you about a situation that happened with my youngest that brought up how we can honor ourselves and others and use emotional intelligence to grow in empowerment in all situations. Believe me, this invitation and awareness is not just for kids! It is also for all of us that need to have loving guidance in our way of living and becoming the fullness of ourselves in a world that doesn't slow down and wait.
I am sure that when you chose to have kids, you didn't think about the pre-teen and teenage years and what they would bring. You may even feel like you are out of your depth with how to navigate these ever changing waters. Today I would love to share a powerful tool that can change your relationship with your growing child and a way to teach them the life skills they will need to be empowered in their future.
As women, especially moms, there is a tendency to ignore our own needs to fulfill everyone else's. This can have dire consequences from isolation to illness.

Throughout my spiritual journey in the church and then in the circles of spiritual friends and leaders, I have constantly heard of our 'need' to protect ourselves and the myriad of ways to do it from white or yellow light, to crystals, to oils and so much more. And while I love light, crystals and oils, I know that there is a truth that is more powerful about us that we are denying in the need to protect. Join me for an unorthodox view of how you can live your life beyond protection.

Has their jealousy shut you down from shining, achieving or having the fullness of the life you truly desire?Check out this episode to move back into your power center!!
