Captivity Narrative

Tara: Looking back and moving forward.

A Note from Tara.

2025 was a year that I describe as karmic.

There was nothing I could do but sit in my garden and watch as several residual wounds from my childhood, that still resided in me, were revealed. One little seed after another came pouring out,

for this reason or for that;

spilling out into the broken but receptive crevices of earth.

From these seeds, something grew.

Those seeds took root in my work for 2026 and brought me closer than ever to the clarity of my life's purpose and projected career plan. My conviction to educate and bring awareness to the mind body connection through story and experiences, especially through "Talk and Tales of the Tattooed Women" is growing by the day.

Much of my work speaks to transgenerational trauma which is a difficult but important topic. My work, however, is not limited to transgenerational trauma. It encompasses healing as a whole. We need to express ourselves in any constructive manner that sparks or initiates inside of us, a call to take reasonable action and meaningful steps toward healing regardless of the starting point.

I knew I was on the right path when I expressed myself to a handful of people from my past and present. Before I knew it, I had a live and active team.

The changes occurring in the world outside and the world within lead me to realize how blessed I am to have such brilliant and dedicated minds and hearts around me; defined life work partners, and with a purpose to "perform."

The bloom of those seeds took shape and form in Season 3 of Now's The Time (NTT) Podcast and it's associated events/experiences. It is with deep gratitude to every person named or chosen to be unnamed; for the help and support to make it possible.

Lastly, it is with great excitement that I welcome Mr. Trip Kinzie aboard, consulting as Chief Communications Officer for all things - NTT related!

Now on with it!
