Why Book

Tara is an emotional intelligence practitioner, accomplished author and keynote speaker, fueled by an unwavering mission to empower individuals to embrace their authenticity and “be who they came to be.”

In those six words, Tara found the courage to embrace her own authenticity and create, own and live the life she desired.
