A moved trash can, a paused hand, and a sudden laugh—sometimes the smallest moments expose the biggest truths about how our brains work and how we grow. We dive into the subtle gap between external change and internal wiring, showing why your mind keeps reaching for what’s no longer there and how to guide it toward what’s true now.

We break down procedural memory in plain language: your brain favors the familiar, not necessarily the accurate. That’s why it’s possible to leave an old season yet still act like you’re living in it. Through a faith-forward lens anchored in Romans 12:2, we talk about renewal as a real neurological process. You’ll learn why repeated correction, consistent choices, and intentional redirection are the ingredients that weaken old responses and strengthen new ones. We share practical language you can use in the moment—like saying it’s not there anymore—to mark the turn that begins transformation.

Across stories, scripture, and science, we map out simple steps to retrain your mind: pause before reacting, speak life-giving truth daily, and journal specific questions that reveal outdated routes. Expect compassionate reminders that setbacks are human and not a verdict on your growth. With awareness as the doorway and choice as the handle, you can update your inner map, stabilize your identity, and live with emotional clarity and spiritual maturity.

What if the real barrier between your calling and your clarity isn’t a lack of faith, but a nervous system still trained by old battles? Coach Tara invites you into a candid, hope-filled conversation about identity dissonance—the space where your spirit knows who you are, but your body remembers who you had to be. Through honest storytelling, she traces the cycle of producing, shrinking, and second-guessing that so many ambitious women of faith carry, and shows how shame, fear of success, and people-pleasing masquerade as strategy.

We dig into the difference between pressure and preparation, and why stepping into purpose without self-awareness turns holy work into performance. With Romans 12:2 as the anchor, we treat renewing the mind as progressive pattern change: interrupting survival responses, retraining your inner world, and letting your choices agree with what God already said. Expect practical tools—guided breathwork, the “holy pause,” and journal prompts—to help you respond instead of react, calm a dysregulated body, and reframe rest as safe rather than suspicious. We talk regulated leadership through the way Jesus moved: stepping away, delegating, praying, and acting from alignment, not anxiety.

If you’ve ever loved God yet froze when it was your turn, this conversation offers language, strategy, and gentleness. You’ll learn to measure obedience instead of outcomes, build emotional and spiritual capacity, and trust that God finishes what he starts. Give Him another yes, not to hustle, but to steady, repeatable agreement that brings your nervous system and your faith into the same story.

Listen, breathe with us, and then try the prompts: Where am I still in survival mode? What would change if my body agreed with God’s word about me? If this spoke to you, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a woman who needs the reminder that she’s becoming.

Ever notice how easy it is to replay what they did to you—and how hard it is to face what you did to them? We go straight at that tension with a candid blend of faith, psychology, and lived experience, inviting you to trade self-justification for honest change. The heart of the conversation is simple and demanding: empathy grows when we remember our own capacity to fail, and healing accelerates when we own our impact, not just our intentions.

We unpack self-serving bias and the subtle ways we rewrite our stories to look better in the mirror. From Romans 12:3 to James 2:13 and Psalm 139, we anchor humility and repentance in Scripture without sliding into self-hate. You’ll hear how accountability becomes the bridge between conviction and transformation, and why correction isn’t rejection—behaviorally, it rewires shame; spiritually, it aligns with faithful wounds that heal. We also spotlight pride’s many disguises—defensiveness, needing to be right, hiding behind that’s just how I am—and show how these patterns block intimacy with God and the people who love us.

Coach Tara shares vulnerable lessons from surviving trauma and reclaiming identity, emphasizing that while much pain wasn’t our fault, healing is still our responsibility. Some apologies never arrive. Freedom comes when we stop waiting for permission to heal, lay down pride, consider our ways, and offer the apology that unlocks peace. We close with practical questions to examine your part, extend grace to others and yourself, and walk forward with courage and authenticity.

What if no one’s coming to save you—and that’s the best news you’ll hear all week? Coach Tara opens the door on a season of living “half moved in” after separation and divorce, revealing how hope tethered to outcomes kept her stuck while hope in God set her free. Through honest mirror work, therapy, and small acts of ownership—like hanging curtains and reclaiming space—she discovers that faith matures when we stop outsourcing our future and start walking with God in the present.

We explore the quiet roots of stuckness: procrastination masking fear, perfectionism masking control, and people pleasing masking an addiction to approval. Tara names the learned helplessness that convinces us effort doesn’t matter, then offers a better way—reclaiming agency and partnering with God. She shares tender insights from dating again, recognizing uneven healing, and receiving restoration without reconciliation. Along the way, we ask bracing questions about rescue thinking, including a challenge to “occupy until He comes” rather than sitting back for an easy escape.

Anchored in John 5, the episode reframes healing as participatory: Get up, take up your bed and walk. Grace meets motion. If you’ve been praying without planning, planning without producing, or waiting for closure that may never arrive, this conversation invites you to take the next faithful step. Build the life you’ve prayed for. Choose responsibility over rescue. Let God meet you on the move.

What if the unease you feel isn’t failure, but a holy nudge to move? Coach Tara opens a candid, faith-forward conversation about letting go when God signals a new season. We unpack the difference between quitting and obeying, why your peace is a reliable “umpire,” and how to recognize when the grace has lifted from a relationship, job, or strategy that once worked. With warmth and clarity, we name the tension between comfort and calling—and how obedience can outrun understanding without denying your real emotions.

We walk through five practical signs it’s time to release the old: lifted grace, stalled fruit, lost peace, repeated closed doors, and persistent Holy Spirit nudges that show up in sermons, conversations, and midnight wake-ups. Tara weaves in Abraham’s costly yes in Genesis 22 and shares her own story of closing a beloved salon during chemotherapy, a surrender that opened new doors to writing, coaching, ministry, and unexpected provision. These moments reveal a consistent pattern: God creates opportunities and divine disruptions, but transformation requires our response.

You’ll hear actionable guidance to stop clinging to outcomes and start following instruction. We revisit Jeremiah 29:11 and Proverbs 3:5–6 to frame plans in the plural and trust that direction comes when we stop leaning on our own understanding. If you’ve been asking for change yet resisting disruption, this is your invitation to reframe your inner language—“I’m not stuck, I’m being stretched”—and take one step forward without seeing the whole staircase. By the end, you’ll have language, signs, and courage to pivot with peace, plus a prayer over your next move.

We share how a stage three breast cancer diagnosis, stacked on fresh grief, became a path of obedience that closed a dream salon and opened a calling to writing and coaching. Faith meets neuroscience as we unpack how repeated yeses reshape the brain and help us trust in the valley.

• sudden loss of mom and the shock that followed
• finding a breast lump, diagnosis at 40, first mammogram
• holding fear in silence, then confiding and praying
• treatment plan, BRCA result, lymphedema reality
• Psalm 23 in practice and daily obedience
• closing the salon and releasing identity
• shift from hair to healing, mirrors to manuscripts
• neuroscience of fear, amygdala, prefrontal cortex
• building faith through neuroplasticity and repetition
• practical tools for regulation and trust
• questions to discern calling and surrender

• abandonment patterns in relationships, work, and faith
• renewing the mind with Scripture and flexible faith

Doors that open before you even press the button. That’s the kind of moment we’re unpacking—how divine acceleration feels in real time, why timing redeems old ideas, and how to carry rapid change without burning out or shrinking back.

We start with a personal pivot: moving from a thriving salon to a calling as an author, coach, mentor, and minister after a life‑altering diagnosis. That story sets the frame for this season of open doors, where ideas converge, new assignments stack, and opportunities arrive unannounced. We connect those experiences to Amos 9:13—the plowman overtaking the reaper—as a picture of collapsed timelines, then explore what it means when God delivers months’ worth of momentum in a few days. Expect language that’s honest about the speed and clear about the source.

To keep it grounded, we bring in behavior science. Rapid change, even good change, can trigger the nervous system’s threat response, which is why blessings sometimes feel like alarms. We share simple tools to regulate and receive: prayer that anchors truth, breathwork that calms your body, and journaling that turns swirl into decisions. You’ll hear practical readiness moves, too—how to build a small “open‑door kit,” prepare assets before the invitation lands, and shift your language from “it’s too fast” to “Lord, strengthen me to steward this.” No striving, no hustle‑gloss—just faith, clarity, and smart structure.

If you’re sensing acceleration—unexpected connections, fresh creativity, assignments that find you—this conversation offers both theology and tactics. You’ll walk away with questions to discern alignment, steps to widen your capacity, and a reminder that your story is someone else’s blueprint. If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage for their next “open door,” and leave us a review with one takeaway you’re acting on this week.

Have you ever felt stuck in a waiting season, wondering why your transformation isn't happening faster? This eye-opening episode explores the profound parallels between a butterfly's metamorphosis and your personal journey of change.

Through a beautiful story about eight rescued caterpillars, Coach Tara reveals powerful truths about divine timing and the purpose behind life's pauses. Just as butterflies emerge at different times and must wait for their wings to dry before flight, our transformation processes can't be rushed. What appears to be delay is often divine protection until conditions are right for you to soar.

The episode delves into the fascinating science of neuroplasticity—how your brain literally reorganizes during healing, creating fragile new pathways that need time to strengthen, much like a butterfly's wet wings. Whether you're in the vulnerable caterpillar stage, the hidden chrysalis phase where everything seems to be dissolving, or the frustrating in-between with wings not yet ready for flight, there's purpose in your position.

Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:1 and personal insights, Coach Tara offers comfort for those in waiting seasons and hope for those who feel like their breakthrough has died. The most powerful revelation? Sometimes what looks like death is merely waiting for conditions to change. Trust not just the process, but the One who orchestrates the conditions.

Ready to reframe your waiting season? Listen now and discover why your story—including the pauses—is the blueprint for someone else's breakthrough. Subscribe to never miss a See-Shift weekly episode, and share this message with someone who needs encouragement during their transformation journey.
