006: Contentment vs. Complacency

Today's Episode covers a lot. Some of my life timeline and some of my experiences with the mental illness that was in my home.

Coming at you from my car for my Off the Cuff first episode of 2026. I didn't record any episodes in 2025 so I'm starting with a little update as my reintroduction.

Today's episode is all about setbacks—why they happen, how to deal with them, and how to turn them into opportunities for growth. Have you had a recent setback? What positive things did you take away from it? Share your experiences with me on social media or email me. I would love to hear from you. Instagram @journey2better.tara Email: [email protected]

Jumping back in with a new episode in 2024.

I'm going a little deeper into how my husband's mental illness has affected our family and home. I'm sharing some personal things in hopes to shed light on the difficult topic of mental illness. You don't have to live in a home with threats and turmoil. Please reach out and get help if you need to. You are not alone.

We won't ever have everything figured out in life. If we can change our thought process to "coming as we are" right in this moment it will keep us from staying stuck in self doubt. It's okay to start something new without having it all figured out first. We will learn as we grow. Join me today as I talk about coming just as you are and how I'm working to do the same in my life too. You can get my FREE masterclass here: https://www.journey2betterlife.com/the-mindset-shift
