Hey, I’m Tara. A wife, a mother, a fitness professional and a recovered obsessor of diet and exercise. For over 15 years, I struggled to reach my goal weight by using exercise and food restriction to get there. I tried all the diets, exercised until my body would give out and spent more money than I want to admit on the next best diet. I finally saw the light when I started focusing on the right things. Food as nutrition, exercise as medicine and a deeper relationship with Jesus that changed my opinion of who I am & what I look like. I have been able to find a healthy lifestyle that works for me. A simple routine & handful of simple habits that I can be consistent with and have time for. A way of eating that I can enjoy life, without hopping into the next diet craze, exercising for my body to feel good and experiencing Jesus in a whole new way! And I’m ready to share it with you!

  • 384. Why Eating Healthy Feels So Hard (and It's Not a Self-Control Problem)
    Jan 26 2026

    Have you ever said to yourself, “I was doing so good… and then I just fell off track”? Have you ever looked at your eating habits and wondered, Why can’t I just stick with it?

    Maybe you’ve promised yourself—again—that this time you’ll have more self-control, more discipline, more willpower.

    But what if the reason you keep falling off track with healthy eating has nothing to do with self-control at all? What if the problem isn’t that you’re weak—but that you’ve never been given the right tools?

    Today, we’re going to break down why healthy eating feels so hard, why willpower keeps failing you, and what actually leads to consistency, peace, and true freedom with food. I really hope you’ll stick with me and begin to experience the food freedom you’ve been longing for.

    And I also want to invite you to something special. On February 10th, I’m hosting a free workshop called Beyond Willpower, and I would love for you to join us.

    Jan 23 2026

    Have you ever woken up one day feeling completely motivated—excited, focused, ready to finally make a change—only to wake up the very next day feeling tired, overwhelmed, and totally unmotivated?

    Have you ever told yourself, I’ll eat better… I’ll work out… I’ll start when I feel ready—and then that feeling just never comes?

    What if consistency has nothing to do with motivation at all? What if the reason you keep falling off track isn’t because you’re lazy or undisciplined, but because you’ve been relying on the wrong thing?

    Today, I want to share with you the number one habit that creates consistency, even on the days when motivation is completely gone.

    And before we dive in, I want to remind you about something special coming up. I’m hosting a free workshop called Beyond Willpower on February 10th, and I would absolutely love for you to join me.

  • 382. Willpower is Failing You: The Skillpower Approach to Lasting Weight Loss
    Jan 19 2026

    Have you ever started the week feeling so motivated? Your meals are planned. Your workouts are scheduled. You’re telling yourself, This is it—this is the week everything changes.

    And then… just a few days later, you’re exhausted. Frustrated. Off track again.

    Maybe you’ve found yourself thinking, If I could just try harder… if I had more discipline… if I had more willpower, then this time would be different.

    But what if the reason you keep struggling with food and weight loss has nothing to do with self-control at all? What if willpower was never meant to carry the weight of your health journey—and that’s why you keep feeling stuck?

    Today, we’re going to talk about why willpower keeps failing you, and how skillpower—learning the right skills instead of relying on discipline—can actually lead to lasting weight loss and true food freedom.

    I really hope you’ll stick with me, because this shift changes everything.

    And I also want to invite you into something special. I’m hosting a free live workshop called Beyond Willpower on February 10th, where we’ll go even deeper into this and start building the skills you actually need.

    If you want to join us, come connect with me inside our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free. I’ll grab your email there so you can get all the details for the free workshop.

    I would absolutely love to see you there—and walk this journey with you.
