26. Becoming the Woman You Were Always Meant to Be with Tara Renze, Author, Key Note Speaker, & EQ Expert

This episode of Girlfriend’s Guide to Midlife podcast is a reupload of an incredible interview with my dear friend, Tara Renze. She is someone who’s been such a big part of my journey and her message is so powerful I wanted to share it with you again on the show or for the first time if you have not yet listened to episode 2.

Tara and I go way back — we first met over a decade ago in the world of network marketing, and our paths have been beautifully intertwined ever since. In this episode, we chat about everything from career pivots to personal growth, motherhood, self-reflection, and all the ups and downs that come with navigating midlife.

Tara shares the powerful story behind her mantra, "Be Who You Came to Be," which started as advice from her grandmother and has become the heartbeat of her life’s mission. We get real about giving ourselves permission to evolve, tuning into our true selves, and embracing the changes that come with this season of life.

We also dive into:

• The mental shift that comes with midlife (it’s not all bad!)
• How fear is actually a sign you’re on the right path
• The role of emotional intelligence in becoming who you’re meant to be
• Why movement, routine, and mindset matter more than ever
• Letting go of self-sabotage and old stories that no longer serve us

This conversation is full of laughs, a few goosebumps, and a whole lot of heart. I hope it inspires you to lean into who you came to be — because midlife isn’t the end of anything... it’s just the beginning.
