On this week’s episode, we unpack the ways in which Taryn’s life worked out exactly the way it was supposed to, even when it wasn’t going according to her plans. From her days as an aspiring U.N. diplomat to competing in Miss America, Taryn unpacks all the reasons why it took her eight years of dating before marrying her husband and why she thinks that sometimes, the best advice to take is your own.

For anyone who has ever wondered when their life is going to begin, my conversation with Taryn shows us all that sometimes, the best things in life happen to us while we’re waiting to start living.
