This conversation is an invitation to slow down and remember that the adventure is not waiting somewhere else. It is happening right here.

This is the full episode with Tara Wear, a coach and facilitator with over 30 years of experience supporting leaders and women through growth, burnout, and transition. Tara and I met through the TEDx Spokane community, where she coached me through my upcoming talk, and this conversation felt like a natural deepening of that shared journey.

We talk about burnout, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and the pressure so many women feel to overdo, overthink, and constantly improve. Tara shares her personal path into coaching, group work, and leadership, including how healing, community, and compassion shaped the work she offers today through Ready to Thrive Coaching.

We explore the balance between being and doing, the power of intention, breath, and grounding, and why safe community matters when we are trying to grow without losing ourselves. This episode is about choosing again, listening inward, and learning to thrive without abandoning your needs.

Tara also shares about her Women’s Winter Book Club and Thrive Circles, spaces designed for women to practice self-compassion and connection together.

Key takeaways
• You can choose again, even in the middle of burnout
• Self-awareness creates space for real change, not forced improvement
• Thriving happens when being and doing are allowed to exist together

A reflection to try
Pause today and notice where you are pushing to be better instead of listening to what you need. Take one small action that supports your body, breath, or heart, not because you earned it, but because you are here.

Sometimes the adventure does not arrive as a bold leap. Sometimes it begins in a quiet moment when we realize we can choose again. In this short preview conversation, I sit down with Tara Wear, an experienced coach and leader who has spent more than 30 years supporting individuals and teams in becoming their best selves.

We first connected through the TEDx Spokane community, where Tara supported me as I prepared my upcoming talk, and this conversation opened up so much wisdom. We talk about burnout, leadership, intention, and self-awareness, especially during seasons like the holidays or the transition into a new year. Tara reminds us that intention is not something we set once and forget. Every moment offers a choice, and every choice creates a new way forward.

This episode is a short teaser and preview of our full conversation, which will be released in the coming days. In the full episode, we go deeper into Tara’s coaching work with women, her shift toward burnout recovery and thriving, and even a word she uses that surprised me and may surprise you, too.

Tara also shares about her upcoming Women’s Winter Book Club focused on self-compassion and burnout recovery, where women will read, reflect, and practice together in a small group setting.

A reflection to try
Notice one moment today where you feel rushed, overwhelmed, or self-critical. Pause, take one slow breath, and ask yourself, What would it look like to choose again right here? Let the answer be simple.

If you are feeling tired, overwhelmed, or quietly longing for something more grounded, let this be a gentle pause. The adventure is already here.

I loved sitting down with Camron Adibi for this full conversation. His way of understanding horses reminds us to slow down, listen with our whole selves and meet them with curiosity and care. Camron is an equine behavior educator, sound practitioner and host of the Centar podcast. His blend of tuning forks, vibration work and horse centered teaching brings a thoughtful and heartfelt approach to partnership.

Camron shared how horses take in sound, energy and vibration differently than we do, and how their sensitivity can help us become more aware of our own inner state. Hearing him describe how sound supports calm and regulation for both species was a beautiful reminder of the wisdom horses carry when we let them guide the pace.

He also talked about his path from therapeutic riding to teaching to creating a life woven with horses, sound and storytelling. His move to Aiken began with one conversation and one instinct, showing how new chapters can appear when we follow what feels aligned.

Takeaways

• Horses sense emotion and energy before words are spoken.
• Tuning forks and sound work support grounding for horses and humans.
• Partnership grows when we listen first and offer space for preference.
• Meaningful change often begins with one small, honest step.
