What happens when we step back and question the very nature of our reality? In this raw, unscripted episode, I take you on a journey through the concept of "the gap" – those powerful in-between spaces where we face our deepest fears and greatest opportunities for transformation.
Drawing from my current financial circumstance, I explore how this experience differs from similar situations in my past. Rather than being consumed by survival panic, I'm witnessing something more profound: an opportunity to break generational patterns of scarcity thinking. During meditation, I kept hearing "It's an illusion" – prompting me to question how we can unplug from the fearful narratives we've constructed.
This reflection extends to relationships as well. If love truly is all we need, why do we constantly push it away? From major relationship patterns to small daily rejections of affection, I examine how we create barriers to the very thing we seek most. Our cultural obsession with individualism might be creating another illusion – while self-love is essential, humans fundamentally thrive on connection.
Taking our power back means recognizing when we're caught in emotional patterns that don't serve us. For me, fear often manifests as anger, but the difference now is awareness – "This is that thing I do. I'm scared." This consciousness creates space to choose differently.
At its core, life is a heart healing adventure where we each live our own unique show. The external world reflects our inner garden, rooted in our hearts. By healing these roots through conscious awareness and love, we create a different reality – one where freedom becomes possible.
Are you ready to unplug from illusion and create the life you truly desire? Join me as we explore what it means to take our power back and step fully into love.

24: Demystifying Hormone Health: with Nurse Practitioner Meagan Wempe
What if that persistent brain fog, unexplained weight gain, or crushing fatigue isn't "just aging" but your body crying out for hormone support? Join host Tara Mychelle and functional medicine expert and Nurse Practitioner, Meagan Wempe as they shatter myths about hormone therapy and reveal why hormone health matters decades before menopause.
Hormones play a pivotal role in our overall health starting much earlier than most people realize, affecting everything from brain function to physical strength to emotional wellbeing. Functional medicine practitioner Meagan Wempe shares insights on how conventional healthcare often misses critical hormone imbalances and why starting hormone testing in our 20s and 30s is crucial for optimal health.
- Conventional healthcare allocates just seven minutes per patient, making it impossible to properly diagnose complex hormone issues
- Both men and women should establish baseline hormone levels in their teens and twenties
- Bioidentical hormones are safer and more effective than synthetic versions that caused concerns in older studies
- Hormone optimization affects muscle maintenance, brain function, heart health, and bone density
- Progesterone acts as the body's "peace hormone," helping with sleep, anxiety, and emotional balance
- Testosterone benefits both men and women, improving muscle mass, mood, and cognitive function
- People who maintain hormone optimization into their 70s and beyond enjoy dramatically better quality of life
- Comprehensive testing should include thyroid panels, sex hormones, cortisol, and insulin levels
- Environmental toxins and modern lifestyle factors are disrupting hormone function earlier than in previous generations
Most powerfully, Meagan explains the stark difference she observes between patients who optimize their hormones and those who don't: by their 70s, those with balanced hormones maintain independence, strength, and vitality while others struggle with basic mobility. This isn't just about adding years to life but adding life to your years—being able to throw hay bales at 80 or get on the floor with grandchildren without thinking twice.
If you'd like to learn more about hormone optimization or find functional medicine providers in your area, search for "integrative medicine" or "functional medicine" practitioners who specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

26: A Fireside Chat with My 13-Year-Old Son: History, Politics & What's Missing
Our conversations with our children often reveal surprising insights about how they view the world and their place in it – especially when growing up in a single-parent household.
• Growing up with one parent creates a unique perspective where children recognize something is absent but can't always articulate what it is
• When asked what was missing in his life, the answer wasn't about family structure but rather: "I really want a tortoise named Eugene"
• Today's teenagers display remarkable awareness of global events and conflicts that receive minimal media coverage
• Young people bring fresh perspectives on history and politics, viewing world events through a different lens than their parents
• Single-parent households don't need to be viewed through a deficit lens but can be recognized as valid family structures
• The quality of communication between parent and child matters more than the number of parents in the home
• Our individual hearts have to heal for our communities to heal – personal growth affects our collective wellbeing
• Sometimes wisdom comes in unexpected forms – like learning to do a front flip because "it gives you confidence"
