So tune in, stay a while, and I promise to be right here alongside you as we figure this out, together.

Love this. The episodes are relevant and informative. I particularly love the way Tara and her guests address body image and intuitive eating. Changing the way we think about our bodies and relationships with food and overall ourselves!

I have been loving this podcast for a couple reasons. 1. They are shorter! I feel like every podcast nowadays is like 90+ min. And 2. She provides education and fun! Fitness is enjoyable again because of Tara

I just finished my first episode and was captivated by the knowledge I learned throughout the episode, but also my attention was kept the entire time through the passion and humor from the host

Zellis2019 · Dec 2024

I absolutely love this podcast! I found Tara when I started strength training last year, and have been following her on social media ever since. I’m in my 30’s and have 2 little kids, and Tara was just so refreshing to listen to no follow on instagram - she’s so real, inspiring, and her energy really resonates with me. I’ve learned so much from this podcast - and not just about working out! She helped me fall in love with lifting heavy things and I honestly can’t ever imagine stopping, it’s changed my life.
