*Please pardon the echo sounds on this recording, although the the content of this podcast definitly lends itself to the sound vibes
Now’s The Time podcast is back up and running! And, despite the echo, the message is delivered. About the echo: we apologize. The Now's The Time recording studio was in transition at the time of this recording and we only had one chance to get the interview! We took it! Next, we produced the best that we could knowing that the show had to go on!
Now here we are…finding ourselves on track again!
Come along with the host Tara and her co-host Melissa as they invite the author of Tragic Magic, Regan Caruthers onto the chat train!
Regan Caruthers has a diverse and impressive biography. She is a spiritual teacher, life coach and is a trauma informed yoga 500 RYT instructor. Regan’s past experiences are impressive, including the time she spent leading HeartMath retreats for the Institute of HeartMath in Boulder Creek, CA.
Needless to say, her spoken narrative just like her written one, is likely to catch and captivate the attention of Now's The Time listeners! An impressive story teller, speaker, leader and teacher with an outstanding ability to track, Regan Caruthers helps Tara deliver. Regan skillfully follows along and pulls out the utmost pertinent points of the podcast, whilst Tara draws awareness and meaning to the “Venn Diagrams” of their “divinely led” meeting.
If you follow Tara, you know that she loves these diagrams and they have been a visual aid/tool for her self-actualization and healing journey since 2016. This tool is most successful when paired with the feedback and wisdom of other invested women.
As it turns out Regan and Tara have an amazingly entwined story, right down fact that Regan’s mother (the focal point of her book) grew up approximately 100 or so miles from where Tara and her very own birth mother grew up in upstate New York. Tara’s mother, also being the focus of her first paper publication.
And what are the chances that these two women would accidentally schedule their book talk (and tales of the tattooed women) on the one year anniversary of Melissa publishing Tara’s literal rough draft of Scientific Poetry and Prose; An Abstract Prequel to The Talk and Tales of the Tattooed Women. Both authors’ books are available on Amazon, see links below.
Be it synchronistic, coincidental or simply compelling, these two story tellers get extra vulnerable and expose a bit more about the truths; the reasons, purposes, intentions behind their writings… Both for the love of their late mothers.
If you have not heard about it yet, well then, Now's The Time podcast is proud to be among some of the first to mention: Tragic Magic by Regan Caruthers. A must read if you or your maternal ancestors lived through and/or survived mental health challenges or trauma.
