She Breaks Free....Ditch the Diet & Change Your Relationship with Food & Fitness
Are you exhausted mentally and physically from obsessing about food? Sick of playing the game of depriving yourself, then cleaning out the house by Monday, just to do it all over again? Ready to finally break free from “what you’re supposed to do” and find out what’s best FOR YOU? Is it time for you to break the rules you set for yourself and find out what is best for you, your body & your mental health? In this podcast, you will find the tools you need to finally break free from the “rules” around diet and exercise. Whether they are rules that you have been following because someone said so, or rules you’ve created for yourself, you’ll find out here how to change your mindset and find freedom. Gain insights on what will work for you, your physiology, your psychology and your life! My mission is to equip you with the necessary tools to find freedom for yourself and free up the mental energy and time to live out the life you are called to live. If you’re ready to dive in, get honest and learn to trust yourself, you’ve found the right place. Hey there! I’m Tara. A wife, mother, fitness professional and a recovered obsessor of diet and exercise. For most of my adult life I have tried to gain control and change how I look by using diet and exercise. I have fought many years of a lonely, mental battle. I spent years caught in the cycle of depriving and bingeing. I was so exhausted mentally of all the constant thinking of food. When can I eat? What will I eat? Will there be enough to eat? All this coupled with the fact I was trying to exercise my way into losing a certain amount of weight or changing how I looked, I was FINALLY fed up with how I was living. I began working through solutions to trust myself, gain confidence and finally be free from the mental drain I lived with for over 15 years. My faith in Jesus has sustained me through this journey, and I have come out on the other side stronger, more confident and I have so much more mental energy and time to devote to what is really important in my life. If you’ve gotten to the place of “throwing your hands up” and you’re ready to find freedom from the rules of diet & exercise you’ve established in your life…. If you’re ready to learn to trust yourself, find a healthy relationship with food and the workouts that are best for you…. Put your big girl pants on and lay the cookie down. It’s time to be accountable for your time, your life and your calling! To subscribe to my email newsletter, click here: https://bit.ly/3Qbxe00.

Do you find it challenging to stick to your nutritional goals or maintain consistency in your workouts? Do you feel overwhelmed and defeated, fearing you may never achieve your objectives?
On your own, do these efforts seem insurmountable? This is where accountability comes into play.
Accountability is a potent tool. Many of us fail to reach our potential because we either give up or settle for less, rather than exploring how accountability can elevate us to new heights.
I'm excited to welcome back my best friend, licensed counselor and clinical director, Melissa Swartz, to Part 2 of our episode together.
With over two decades of experience in the mental health field, her methodology is profoundly influenced by her knowledge in neuroscience, stress science, attachment therapy, nutrition, and evolutionary biology.
In this part 2 of this episode, we discuss how external accountability can be the key factor in advancing your progress. We draw from our professional expertise and personal health and fitness experiences.
Melissa, as the founder and clinical director of the Renovo Center, leads a team of counselors who not only significantly impact mental health but also work in conjunction with a functional medicine doctor to cater to the individual physical needs of clients.
For additional details about Melissa, her team, and their work, please visit the Renovo Center, LLC homepage.
