In this episode of Finding your way, Christian sits down with Tara, a photographer whose journey proves that your path doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful. From her final years of high school, to navigating life after graduation, to landing a role at one of Australia’s most iconic fashion houses,

Tara’s story is a masterclass in following curiosity, trusting your instinct, and backing yourself even when you don’t have it all figured out.

We talk about:

*What Tara was like in senior school

*The uncertain, messy years after Year 12

*How photography went from hobby to calling

*What it was really like working at Country Road

*The courage it took to leave and go out on her own

*Money habits, budgeting, and financial lessons she’s learned as a creative

* What “finding your way” means to her now

Tara’s honesty and vulnerability make this episode one of the most relatable yet, especially for young people, creatives, and anyone considering a pivot or a fresh start.

What happens when school ends and no one hands you a roadmap for life?

Hosted by Christian Dymock, founder and lead educator of the Dollars and Sense program, this podcast sits down with everyday people - creatives, parents, migrants, business owners, students, and those still figuring it out to ask one simple question, "How did you find your way?"
