#18| Transforming Overwhelmed to Fulfilled Using Mindfulness, with Tara Perman

My guest today is my friend and former client Tara Perman. When we started coaching, Tara was feeling uninspired with her successful career of 23 years.

She was the primary parent in her household and COVID had taken its toll - she was frustrated with trying to manage everything. She knew she wanted to change careers, but was afraid to take the plunge.

The first thing we worked on was the idea that the fear of change was real and would always be there. Tara learned to move forward with her business while feeling the fear instead of waiting for it to go away. She stuck with her plan to become a career coach, even when it felt hard.

Things changed at home, too. She put in her notice before a family vacation, much earlier than she had previously planned. She fully enjoyed vacation with her family for the first time. She decided to spend the whole summer with her kids, without the stress of working, for the first time.

She marketed her new business even when it felt scary. When she felt stuck, she would just take one tiny step in the direction of her new life.

She now has a successful coaching business and just took a month-long vacation to Europe with her husband and kids for the second summer in a row. 

Tune in and listen to Tara’s full story!
