The Love Your Journey Podcast

In this very personal episode Tara Jo shares her lived experience as a survivor of sexual assault and reflects on the grief, rage, and heartbreak that can surface when women’s pain is dismissed, minimized, or ignored.

Speaking from her family farm in Saskatchewan, Tara opens a trauma-aware conversation about what can happen in the body after assault, why reporting can feel terrifying, and how systems can retraumatize survivors when safety, compassion, and belief are missing.

This episode is an invitation to honour what is rising — the anger, the sadness, the memories, the body responses — and to move through it with care instead of pushing it down.

Tara also shares about her upcoming pay-what-you-can gathering, The Journey Through Rage, happening Thursday, October 8: a supportive space for women to be witnessed, held, and guided through the emotions coming up in response to what is happening in the world.

Please listen with care. Pause when needed, drink water, create comfort around you, and choose what feels safest for your body.

What becomes possible when women reclaim the parts of themselves they have tucked away and allow themselves to become fully expressed?

In this episode, Tara Jo is joined by Gina Starbuck for a powerful conversation about creativity, embodiment, grief, movement, self love and personal power.

Gina shares her journey from professional dancer and choreographer to embodiment expert and multidimensional medicine woman. She speaks openly about motherhood, pregnancy loss, separation and the dark night of the soul that invited her into a more visible, liberated and fully expressed chapter of her life.

Together, Tara Jo and Gina explore how grief, rage, pain and uncertainty can become fuel for creativity. They discuss movement as medicine, creating without an agenda, allowing vulnerability and power to coexist and making room for joy during difficult seasons.

Gina also shares the power of women gathering in community and introduces the Bad B*tch Awakening, her 21 day immersive experience for women ready to reclaim their voices, inhabit their bodies and welcome the parts of themselves they once believed were too much.

Remember—your journey is sacred, your voice matters, and your brilliance is always waiting for you inside of your heart.

In this episode of the Love Your Journey Podcast, Tara Jo explores the energy of the New Moon in Virgo and the invitation it brings to refine the way we are living, caring for ourselves, and moving through change.

As Tara prepares to move from her Calgary home and close another chapter, she reflects on the routines, rituals, choices, and practices that have helped her create a steadier foundation through seasons of stress, caregiving, uncertainty, and transition.

This episode is about getting honest about what is actually supporting you right now.

What habits still fit?

What are you tolerating that may be taking up more energy than you realize?

What deserves your time, attention, and devotion?

What small adjustment could create a meaningful ripple through your life?

Tara shares why sustainable change is often less about completely reinventing yourself and more about refining what is already there, clearing what no longer belongs, listening to your body, and making choices that align with how you truly want to feel.

She also introduces her New Moon Pathway to Possibility Guidebook and 7 Day Audio Experience, created to help women explore their own desires, habits, priorities, emotional well-being, and next steps with more curiosity and clarity.

Sometimes one curious question can open a pathway you could not see before.  Lean in.

Remember—your journey is sacred, your voice matters, and your brilliance is always waiting for you inside of your heart.

In this reflective episode, Tara looks back at the four years since her car accident and the strange parallels bringing her back to Saskatoon during another family caregiving journey.

After recently beginning daily treatment for a severe growth hormone deficiency connected to her concussions, she shares what this season is teaching her about capacity, grief, joy, movement, freedom, and slowing down when life itself doesn’t slow down.

Tara explores a different way of reflecting—not by replaying everything that went wrong, but by asking: What did I do with what happened to me?

An honest conversation about noticing how much you’ve changed, finding joy alongside difficult things, and giving yourself credit for how far you’ve come.

What does fitness look like when we stop making it about burning calories, changing our bodies, or pushing ourselves harder?

In this episode of the Love Your Journey Podcast, Tara Jo sits down with longtime fitness professional Jessica Smith for a beautifully honest conversation about women’s fitness, body image, strength training, perimenopause, chronic illness, and learning to honour the body you’re actually living in.

Tara Jo first discovered Jessica’s workouts more than a decade ago during her own health journey, and one thing has remained consistent throughout Jessica’s work: you know your body best.

Together, they talk about the conditioning women have received around weight, exercise and what a “fit” body should look like, and why Jessica now believes fitness is a capacity, not a look.

They also explore strength training during perimenopause, muscle and bone health, changing energy and capacity, consistency over intensity, and why a pause or a season of doing less does not mean you’ve failed or have to start over.

At the heart of this conversation is one simple question:

What does my body need from me right now?

Remember—your journey is sacred, your voice matters, and your brilliance is always waiting for you inside of your heart.

Have you ever noticed friction or unexpected shifts in your relationships or business just as you start stepping into deeper alignment? 
Come lean in and explore a deeply reflective space with me. In this episode,  I am unpacking a personal lesson around client boundaries, emotional projections, and the discomfort that often arises when we stop trying to be the "saviour" and instead invite others to turn inward.

Whether you are an entrepreneur or simply navigating human connection, this conversation is an invitation to explore the realities of emotional safety, somatic awareness, and why having honest, conscious conversations matters so much.

Key Takeaways

• Honoring Your Boundaries: Recognizing when your energy is being pushed and giving yourself permission to step into a fair, aligned exchange.
• Stepping Out of the Savior Role: Understanding why true transformation happens when we hold space rather than carrying everyone else's answers.
• Somatic Awareness: Exploring why "issues are in your tissues," how your body signals out-of-alignment dynamics, and how to gently sit with uncomfortable emotions.
• The Power of Conscious Connection: Why conflict doesn’t have to mean ghosting or shutting down, and how nervous system regulation creates safer spaces for real dialogue.

For more than a year, Tara Jo kept hearing the same thing: This is just post-concussive syndrome. This is something you’re going to have to learn to live with.

But something inside her kept saying there had to be more.

In this episode, Tara Jo shares what led to a diagnosis of severe growth hormone deficiency after two concussions, a condition that can occur after a brain injury but isn’t always recognized.

She opens up about the kind of depletion she’s struggled to put into words, why the thought of daily injections has brought up unexpected emotions, and how memories of caring for her brother have shaped the way she’s approaching this next chapter.

More than a conversation about a diagnosis, this episode is about self-advocacy, trusting your instincts, and holding onto hope when the answers aren’t coming easily.

Tara Jo also shares the simple practices that have supported her through recovery, from changing the way she speaks to herself to using visualization and gentle mindset shifts to create more space for possibility.

If you’ve ever felt like your body wasn’t cooperating, or you’ve known deep down that something wasn’t adding up, this episode is a reminder to keep asking questions, keep listening to yourself, and remember that sometimes another piece of the puzzle is still waiting to be found.

The divine love healing collective is 50% off until August 1st.

Life doesn’t always go according to your plan.

In this episode of the Love Your Journey Podcast, Tara Jo shares why she’s been quieter over the past few weeks, what she’s learning from an unexpected season of supporting a loved one, and why she’s releasing her new Walk & Talk Summer Somatic Series differently than planned.

She explores why perfectionism keeps so many of us stuck, how slowing down can help us hear ourselves again, and why getting out of the mind and back into the body can change the way we move through uncertainty.

You’ll also hear about:

• The inspiration behind the Walk & Talk Summer Somatic Series.
• How simple somatic practices can help when life feels overwhelming.
• Why Tara is shifting away from one-to-one sessions and focusing on audio coaching and group experiences during this season.
