Girl Meets 30

In today’s farewell to 2023 episode, Tara wants to know who is still Black Friday shopping? Is that even a thing anymore? And also, have we manifested our current lives from the time we were children? Tara explores some of the things that she was so interested in as a kid that have managed to be such a big part of her life today. So interesting to think about! Have you noticed this in your life too? Feel free to chat about it on instagram! We wanna know! 😊

Here today to talk about taming the creative beast that doesn’t allow you to be productive. You know the one that is always coming up with new ideas and not following through fully on the other millions of projects you’ve started and neglected to complete. A little structure can go a long way with creatives. It’s time to restrict yourself just enough so that you can fully flourish. Let’s go!

Today’s episode is inspired by Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. Tara has recently started reading this book as a part of her Creative Minds Book Club and a couple things have really resonated, and not just for creatives. See if applying these things yourself adds to your life! And if you do, please share on instagram @GirlMeets30 !

In today’s episode, Tara digs up an old blog post from 2017 where she tells about a lesson she learned from travel in 2013. We are majorly throwing back today, which works out well because we aren’t doing an episode tomorrow as it’s Thanksgiving! Enjoy your long weekend and we will be back on Monday.

Today Tara is talking about an idea that is so simple yet totally blew her mind. We are always living with our future selves in mind, letting them pick up the grunt work, but let’s take some time today to talk about what we should be doing to ensure that our priorities and values are addressed now so that we can maintain them long-term.

In today’s episode, Tara discusses a new (to her) concept: Toxic Gratitude. Thanksgiving is the time we spend with our families and things can be more challenging for some than others, but nonetheless the idea of having to be grateful is the theme of everything. And yet, do we have to? Let’s talk about when you should and shouldn’t approach situations with “gratitude” today.

Part of this podcast was made in reference to Mel Robbin’s video clip of her podcast about Toxic Gratitude where she spoke specifically about these 6 forms of toxic gratitude, so please check out her original content.
