This conversation with Tara Punter is one of the most powerful, courageous interviews we’ve ever released. Tara is known across the business world as an exceptional coach, a woman who has helped countless entrepreneurs create the life and work they once only dreamed of. But in 2024, after a decade of success, best-selling books, and a thriving client community, Tara found herself facing a truth she could no longer ignore: she wasn’t happy.
What followed was a quiet unraveling behind the scenes, a questioning of her identity, her relationships, and everything she believed about manifestation, mindset, and success. When she finally summoned the courage to make a life-changing decision, she didn’t expect it to lead her into the darkest, most dangerous chapter of her life. A chapter many never return from.
In this raw and profoundly honest conversation, Tara shares what it was like to reach the very edge, and, most importantly, how she found the strength, gratitude, and inner guidance to choose life, again and again. Her story is not just about surviving despair; it’s about awakening. It’s about the quiet moments that rebuild a soul, the tiny practices that become lifelines, and the courage it takes to piece yourself back together in a world that only sees your shine.
If you have ever felt lost, alone, or exhausted by carrying everything on your own… this episode is a hand on your back. A reminder that healing is possible, hope is real, and help exists. Tara does not offer platitudes, she offers lived wisdom.
