Tara dives into a raw, hilarious, and heartfelt chat with Carrissa Golomb —a Jersey girl, gray hair nano influencer, and self-proclaimed anxious mess. 

From growing out her “moonlights” to battling perimenopause and societal pressure, Carrissa keeps it real about aging, mental health, and why she’s done pretending. 

We never even made it to a question from the wheel this time—just pure, unfiltered conversation.

Get ready for a wild ride on Tara’s Voice with Karlee Smart—two-time Mrs. New Jersey, real estate rockstar, and my fellow control freak (sorry, Karlee). 

We spin the wheel, land on ‘best advice you didn’t take,’ and tumble into dishwashers from hell, pageant myths, and why letting go of control is harder than it sounds. 

Karlee's a mom, a vet advocate, and proof you can strut a bikini at 40 and not care who’s judging. Me? I’m just trying not to reload the dishwasher for the third time today. 

It’s messy, funny, and real—listen now and tell me: what advice do you wish you’d followed? 

Subscribe—life’s worth laughing at.

A two-time Mrs. New Jersey and national pageant champion, Karlee Smart is a force in both the modeling and real estate industries. As a top-performing sales agent, she blends expertise with an unstoppable drive for success. But beyond the accolades, she is a devoted wife, a proud mother, and a fierce advocate for military service members and veterans. Karlee uses her voice and platform to empower others, inspire change, and honor those who serve. Whether she’s making headlines, negotiating deals, or standing up for a cause, she leads with confidence, passion, and purpose.

Join me on Tara’s Voice for a wild, unscripted chat with Jess Hass—integrative health coach, mom of two, and my friend for nearly 20 years (yep, my kid was her flower girl).

We spin the wheel, land on ‘biggest waste of time in high school,’ and veer off into hippie schools, burnout, and why eating at your desk is a gut disaster. 

Jess drops real talk on stress and people-pleasing while I’m over here surviving NJ drivers and too much coffee.

It’s irrelevant, it’s funny, and it’s us—two women who’ve been through it, laughing at life’s chaos. 

Hit play, and tell me: what’s your high school throwaway class?

In this heartfelt episode of Tara's Voice, host Tara welcomes Sara Alepin founder and CEO of District Bliss - a community created for people who hate traditional networking. What begins as a light conversation takes meaningful turns as Sara shares her journey from teacher to entrepreneur after a life-altering incident changed her career trajectory at 29.

From spinning the wheel of irrelevant questions to discussing the cost of college, second acts in life, and finding unexpected gifts in difficult circumstances, this episode weaves together authentic conversation, vulnerability, and plenty of laughs. Sara's story demonstrates how sometimes our biggest challenges can lead to greater freedom and purpose.

Listeners will appreciate the honest dialogue about building community, authentic connections, and the importance of finding your tribe. As Tara says, "You attract who you are, not what you want," and Sara proves this through her mission to create networking that doesn't suck.

Whether you're facing a career transition, building a business, or simply looking for more meaningful connections, this episode reminds us that life's detours often lead to our most authentic path forward.

Join us for interesting people and (not so) irrelevant conversations - because life really is worth laughing at!
