Episode 028: Tara Swiger

Tara Swiger is a teacher and author who works with makers and artists to create sustainable profitable businesses that they love.  In addition to working with other creative entrepreneurs, she has owned her own yarn business, is the author of multiple books, and is the host of a weekly podcast. 

Listen in to hear Tara’s story of how she went from working a day job to starting her own yarn business. She tells the story of how she transitioned out of that business into a big new adventure helping other biz owners. We talk about fear, shame, and cultivating confidence. You’ve got to listen in for her definition of confidence – it’s golden.

Tara also gets really personal and shares her struggles with anxiety and depression. She shares what it looked like when she had to stop everything to take care of herself, and where she’s at now.
