Episode 11: With DJ and Presenter Tara Stewert

Today we learn from one of my ultimate role models, Tara Stewert. From the very start of this podcast I wanted to ask Tara to be a guest, so it was an honour to talk about her career so far (I say 'so far' because this girl has BIG dreams which are sure to become realities).

 Tara has led the most intriguing, constantly evolving life so far from having worked as a Judge's Assistant when she left school to moving to Dublin to pursue a career as a musician. She tells me about growing up in Alice Springs, a small town in the fairly desolate Northern Territory of Australia, with her Malaysian  Mum and her Irish Dad and their life in their own bar and restaurant. We talk about why music became such an influential part of her expression and life from such an early age to now as a booked and busy DJ and Presenter that's also represented by Select Model Management in the UK.

We also talk about how she became such a familiar voice to us in Ireland on RTE 2FM. Feeling at a standstill with her band and falling out of love with what she was doing, Tara saw an opportunity in a tweet from an Irish presenter that would change her career trajectory. With pure hustle and grit she made sure that she was noticed, cycling to the RTE buildings on her lunch break from waitressing just to make sure she was seen. 

It is beautiful to see how her hard work is paying off.

Thank you so much to Depop for sponsoring this podcast! This week I asked Tara what Depop shop she was loving, her pick was @cool_as_kim_deal for great +size options of vintage and pre-loved clothing from the UK.
