In light of a New Moon in Cancer (encouraging deeper self-care, self-love, self-nurturing & self-parenting practice), I’m offering you a healing meditation that promises to shift your energetic & emotional body. Allow me to guide into feeling, thinking & leaning all the way into your wounded child self as well as finding new ways to alchemise your stuck emotion. This is my FIRST EVER recorded meditation, guys! I have drawn on inspiration I’ve found during my own inward journey of self healing. I deeply hope what I’ve created takes you somewhere special too - I very much doubt I would’ve recorded this if it weren’t for all of the recent/lovely messages about my podcast. Happy Releasing - Happy Healing - Happy New Moon, Tara x

Please listen to this episode before progressing to my New Moon Inner Child Healing Guided Meditation (Bonus Feature). This is your warm up to all things emotional alchemy; releasing practices and relating to your wounded inner self. Happy Healing - Happy New Moon, Tara x

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence” - Albert Einstein. ✨ On that note, this week I’ve decided to take inspiration from a chance meeting/conversation with Philosopher, Chloe Basnett of the SoulChats podcast. I met Chloe whilst staying at Lovedown (freedom camp in London) back in June. The conversation I’m bringing to the table is about the elevation & strength one can receive through spiritual awakening or alignment. Be it in business; through critical thinking, conspiracy or with philosophy. Let this be your gateway & introduction to those ‘awakening arts’. Find out more about this topic at the brand new MadeofSHE Academy: www.tara-louise.wixsite.com/madeofshe.

Are you currently stuck in a feeling of helplessness? This week on MadeofSHE, Tara addresses how you can overcome your learned behaviour of helplessness & hopelessness through self therapy. Self therapy could look like journalling — affirmation & gratitude practice — taking yourself off for a walk — looking within to find alternative ways of thinking, when you feel stuck. Whatever it is leading you here today, know that it’s ok! Your emotions are a COMPLETELY natural part of our collective human experience - and together, we are powerful. In this episode, you will learn that you have entirely more power than you assume...

In the past week, there have been a few transformations as well as a few great things to share: the UK edging back into the world of travel, me having an interview for a comms manager role at a wildlife conservation foundation —and with this week's episode, I’m actually just wanting to hone in on the good. Whether it be the trips I’ve been booking for summer, the stern conversations of self-love/worthiness around my up-and-coming YTT... I’m hoping I also answer some of your questions about international travel, amber list destinations and what is available to us right now. Find me on either @madeofshe or @mostravel.co if you do have more travel questions.

In this sixth episode of MadeofShe, learn all about how to do more, become more and think better! I explain how self talk and your inner voice is not just a verbal monologue of conscious thought but a gateway to love, acceptance and overall elevation. I recommend that if cultivating more self belief or confidence is on your PD list, then you give this short, energising episode a listen!

I know that so many of us have had life altering experiences with death, grief and loss - the desire is to just get through it all as smoothly as possible but what often goes wrong, is that we overlook the necessity of being vulnerable when it comes to our healing.

So often, we feel like we can’t talk about grief but it’s actually so overwhelming and so detrimental to not actually share your experiences!

Over the past week - with the sudden death of my beloved nana, Marlene, I’ve been going from wanting to speak out about her and my experience, to talking myself out of my pain and suffering - and telling myself that I’m not worthy of my any of it being heard on this podcast. It’s also been hard to actually string sentences together (my brain is currently frazzled).

If you’ve ever lost anyone and struggled with feeling unworthy - or you’re stuck in a cycle of grief - then this episode is for you!

In this episode, I’m sharing with you:

* The struggle and overwhelm I’ve had to learn to get over, due to the loss of my dad in high school; my grandad in my first year of university and now my nana (who was like my mum), just last week

* Why & how these experiences of loss have imprinted on my adult life

* How the feeling of unworthiness around loss can be reshaped into feeling powerful

* How to create positive meaning from your own grief by doing things like yoga, meditation and affirmations

I hope you all receive this episode with an open mind and warm heart. It’s not intended to be triggering or upsetting to anyone - it’s part of my healing process and grief work.

It’s also my final farewell and thank you to my Nan - who I hope is resting in eternal peace with her son, my dad.

If you haven’t come across my (first ever) guest on the mat or through one of her awakening yoga flows, then you may have listened to one of her podcasts - The Yoga Crew, shared with a handful of other female yoga teachers to create an online community for practitioners and yoga enthusiasts. Syrine Bouras has truly helped my decision to start yoga teacher training this August, and we met because we previously worked together in the travel industry. We also used to attend after-work classes together, each Wednesday. Her story of heading out into the world of yoga, during the 2020 lockdown, really shows that anything can be made possible with work and that growth really should never stagnate - not because of limiting beliefs; not in a pandemic, NEVER! ...Taking the next step and refusing to settle in life is (in a nutshell) what led Syrine and I to both reconnect and come here today. We are constantly wanting to raise the bar with ourselves as well as others. If that’s you too - or you need a bit of lifting - then this podcast is your source message! Don’t forget to say hello to us ladies on IG: @madeofshe / @sereneatyoga.

Whether the two of us are on a similar entrepreneurial journey or you’re just starting out I’m telling you, it’s time to dream big and to condition your mind for success! Give yourself that permission. Forget everything external.. If you stay focussed and true to yourself; if you take responsibility for your vision by setting yourself goals and if you exercise your mind daily, this year can be your vehicle for change. Remember that success doesn’t happen unless you keep your dreams alive and you believe that success a done deal!

Hi, I’m Tara McLeod Williams and I am so excited to welcome you back to the ‘Made of She’ podcast. This week, I’m giving you a little more background into my brand and what those 3 images of myself actually mean!
