As the host of Women’s Dream Enlightenment, I had the pleasure of delving into an inspiring conversation with Tara Haislip. Tara is not only a writer and speaker but also the host of the podcast “Burn the Script” where she empowers women to reshape societal expectations and reclaim their self-worth. In this episode, Tara shared her profound journey of transformation, introspection, and ultimately rediscovering her passion for the arts.
Unraveling Enlightenment: My Conversation with Tara
Every person’s journey toward enlightenment is unique. When I asked Tara what enlightenment meant to her, she described a moment of awakening—a realization that life offers multiple paths to achieve one’s dreams beyond the boundaries set during upbringing. This was a defining moment for her, one that freed her from societal constraints and opened her up to new possibilities in life.
From Dance to Darkness: Tara’s Artistic Journey
Our conversation led us into Tara’s initial love for dance, a world where she sought to express her deepest creativity. However, the competitive realm of professional dance introduced significant challenges. External expectations and criticisms about her physicality and abilities took a toll on her mental well-being, drawing her into a cycle of self-doubt and destructive habits.
But Tara’s resilience was evident. By embracing therapy, reading transformative literature, and making the bold decision to step away from dance, she began her healing journey. Her path led her into the corporate sphere, where she worked as a paralegal, a role that provided stability but left her yearning for her true passion.
Returning to Creativity: Tara’s Full Circle
Tara shared her realization that her corporate life, though successful, felt monotonous. Each dark night of the soul brought her closer to her true calling, igniting her desire to return to her creative roots. With emotional and financial support from her loved ones, she found herself in a nurturing environment where she could freely create and express herself without pressure.
I found her journey back to the arts particularly moving. Tara’s experiences have allowed her to blend her past and present, evoking emotions and inspiring others through storytelling.
Navigating Emotions and Signs
When discussing advice for women facing similar life changes, Tara emphasized the importance of embracing emotions—whether anger, grief, or sorrow, without allowing them to linger. In doing so, we open ourselves to new opportunities and align with our authentic selves.
Tara also shared the role of dreams, déjà vu, and synchronicities in guiding her path, reminding us to trust the signs along the way, even when doubts persist.
Trusting the Journey
As we wrapped up our conversation, Tara and I reflected on appreciating the journey itself. It’s natural to desire quick results, but the true beauty lies in life’s slow and deliberate unfolding. The phrase I often heard growing up, “enjoy the journey,” truly resonates here—every decision and every pivot eventually forms a coherent path in hindsight.
To those eager to explore Tara’s work further, you can find her on Instagram at @Grounded_Energy111 and follow her podcast, Burn the Script. It’s a space where women’s voices are celebrated, and life scripts are rewritten with empowerment and creativity.
Reflecting on our conversation, I’m reminded that every setback can be a setup for a comeback. Tara’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of embracing one’s creative passions.

Welcome, Tara.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Thank you. I’m happy to be here, Megan.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yes, it’s lovely to have you here finally. I know this has been a long time coming, but you know, I do believe in divine timing, so
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Yes,
Megan Mary – MeganMary: it all happens when it’s supposed to.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: exactly.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: So the first question I’m going to ask you is, what does enlightenment mean to you?
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Yeah, that is a great question and it is definitely different for everyone. For me personally, enlightenment is I. Realizing [00:02:00] there is more to yourself than what you have been like brought up to believe. So it’s that moment when you go from whenever it happens, you go from like your childhood and your upbringing to then going out on your own and realizing like, oh wait, there are so many different ways. To accomplish one’s dreams or go about handling whatever it is that we love and we’re interested in. That was a huge shift for me when I went off to college in my young, early twenties, late teens, early twenties, was what, realizing that like I grew up in a family that thought one way about certain things, especially money and finances and how to just like travel and go on vacation or get away and do just little fun things for yourself. To realizing, like, and meeting other people who were like, you don’t have to. I remember some friends saying, Tara, you don’t have to do it this way. Like, you don’t have to have all your ducks in a row just to be able to have a little bit of fun. And it was like we were in Philadelphia and I [00:03:00] think we were trying to go to the shore I think in New Jersey. Because we could get on the pat, go and get there. Or we knew somebody with a car that was like a beater car that needed new shocks and like just hitting the road. And I was thinking like, I’m gonna need money and we’re gonna need to stay someplace. And that was something that, like I’ve been deprogramming since then was like, oh, oh, there’s so many ways we can get from A to B. And learning to find the fun in that. And that was, that is enlightenment to me. As an example of just like learning that there’s no one way to go about anything.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Hmm. I, I really like that. I always like what people say, and I, it’s always different, every single person. And that’s true that it’s really important to recognize one, that you don’t have to have all your ducks in a row, as you say, and that, that’s kind of a confinement that we put upon ourselves, but also that to break out of the [00:04:00] mold of what we’ve been programmed to think about, not only our existence, but the course of our existence here, to me is really part of that enlightenment process is realizing.
It doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t necessarily have to work hard to be prosperous, for example. That’s one of the ones that I really have to break out of and all those other things, you don’t have to have worked hard to relax or,
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Right.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: All the misconceptions that we carry with us.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Exactly.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: thank you for that.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: You are welcome.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Now you have a really interesting story in terms of your trajectory. Everybody does. They all start out one place and end up another. Tell the audience a little bit about your journey if you had a spiritual awakening moment or a, or that dark night of the soul [00:05:00] moment, and what led you to do the work that you’re doing out in the world today.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Yeah, so this is come full circle. Pretty recently. So my life started off in the arts and I, my first love and passion is an always will be dance. I was at the upper crust of things and it took me a little while to even acknowledge that yes, I was a professional dancer even if I didn’t obtain that level of. Professionalism that I wanted for myself, which was being with a company, dancing for them, touring with them. But I was right there. And again, going back to what I said about enlightenment, there was a lot of unlearning that was happening at through chaos and breakdown. And recognizing that I didn’t have the tools, but I was also. The, as I like to say, instead of the black sheep, the black wolf of the family,
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Hmm.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: [00:06:00] I went out and did the thing. Everybody on my mother’s side were artistically inclined, but it was always a hobby. No one really went to that next level for various reasons. Society trying to make ends meet just where they were in, in life and generations. Even a cousin of mine who is very culinary arts inclined and does beautiful work. Went to school for it and ended up leaving, for his own reasons. And I remember me going off to college for dance. I was like, okay, I, I’m the next one to like, try, to, to make a go of this. Let’s, you know, let’s just do it. And. It’s highly competitive. I let people’s opinions about my skills, my abilities, and my physicality take root essentially, like it became, started to believe what they were projecting onto me. [00:07:00] And that deeply impacted how I showed up for myself, how I showed up for work, how I showed up for classes, how I showed up in auditions.
I mean, back on it, I was getting so frustrated at the end because I wasn’t getting callbacks, but. When I look back at pictures, and I even showed my husband some of my pictures when we were first dating and he saw it and he goes, you look like you’re just dead in the eyes. There is nothing there. You’re not happy and you’re super skinny. Like your head is bigger than the rest of your body. And it was like what I saw as beauty. I didn’t see it then. I see it now. So of course like when you’re going into an audition and you’re radiating out all of this negativity. Who was gonna wanna hire that, regardless of like whether or not you, you match what they’re physically looking for, you’ve already like set yourself up on an energetic level. And it has taken me [00:08:00] years to come to that point of like, oh wow. Like I was not okay I was numbing because I wasn’t Okay. alcohol and toxic relationships and not going home and not wanting to be in my physical space because that left me with my, my own mind and my own thoughts and my own feelings, which I didn’t want to feel.
’cause they hurt and they sucked. And I had a dark night of the soul. I hit bottom and then I hit bottom further. Right. It’s still a very difficult story for me to tell, and I’m not ready to tell it yet, but I was there and when I see somebody in pain I can relate and understand to a certain degree like what it is that they’re experiencing because it comes across in like substance abuse of various kinds, overworking looking for people pleasing. I’m a people pleaser. I just, that was a big one to come to terms with even years later. It, it just comes across in various [00:09:00] ways that we’re masking what it is that we’re not ready, really ready to acknowledge. I hit that bottom finally. And I woke up one morning and I said this, I don’t know who I am. I don’t know this person, and I don’t wanna be this person. And I started this upward climb essentially. Therapy was something that my family talked about as like, oh, you should, people should go to therapy. But it was always a negative kind of conversation. So for me, I was like, I don’t wanna go to therapy. I’m gonna be thought of as X, Y, and Z, you know, the people pleasing. I wanna make sure that I’m presenting as. Somebody other than myself, and eventually I found the book Lois Hayes. You Can Heal Your Life and I still keep it next to me there and I don’t really remember how this book found me.
I. I just took it and I latched onto it and I read it cover to cover and I started doing the exercises and I [00:10:00] decided, okay, I’m gonna change my life. I’m gonna walk away from dance. My only love, my only passion. I am going to walk away from it because it is so painful at this point. and I literally boxed up like brochures and flyers and pictures and all of these mementos from that career, and I. Metaphysically boxed it up, you know, this creative side of my life and put it away and didn’t wanna look at it for years. And I ended up going back to college for paralegal studies because it was like, okay, well I gotta make money somehow, so let’s find something in the interim that I’m slightly interested in, see where it goes, and just like figure out what my next passion is because dance was the only thing I ever wanted to do.
Nothing else, absolutely nothing else. And I get, I got competitive with myself and I found that I was like excelling and I was going through this health journey and I was changing like the toxicity that was in my body and how I was thinking and I was learning to sit in my own space, physical space, my apartment [00:11:00] and sit with my own thoughts and sit with myself and it like have that. Physical and non-physical mirror in front of me to be like, if anything’s gonna change, I have to change. It has to come from me deep within, otherwise everything’s just, I’m just gonna carry this on to the next, to the next, to the next and keep re-learning these lessons. So on some subconscious level, I was aware of this. And things started to shift and I started to progress and I started to do really well in my legal career, my paralegal career, and I was pivoting. Eventually got to a place where I was working and specializing in trust in estate law, but I just all of a sudden was like, I’m really bored with my life. And I was like, I know I went into this temporarily, but I kind of. Wanna find what this thing is that I’ve been told is the thing to do with corporate, the job, the money, the car, the house, the marriage. I don’t know about kids, [00:12:00] at that time, and I was still looking for it, but I found eventually that I was just, I was in a boardroom fighting for my pay. I would have, I had some amazing bosses who saw my my worth and my value, which I was sacrificing myself. Right. So I still carried some of these tendencies and people pleasing things on into my corporate career and was, you know, giving it my all for the hopes of better pay and being seen and being heard. And that didn’t really pan out. And when I met my husband, we were talking about wanting to have kids. I was like, well, we can’t do this because he worked in one state and I lived in the other. So I was like, I gotta do this differently if we’re gonna do this. And when we had a conversation, I was like, so, you know, what are, what do you envision for this?
He’s like, well, we got our parents nearby and they can help raise the kids. I’m like, but why? They’ve raised their kids. If I’m working full-time, you’re outta state for seven months out of the year. That’s not fair to bring another human being into [00:13:00] this. So I started making that change and it has been a journey and it has been a constant journey of breaking down these cycles that I still developed and kept right, like that dark night of the soul didn’t mean it was one and done and over and everything was grand and prosperous. I have continued to go through at least. Three more dark, knighted the souls to undo and learn the lessons that I, I hadn’t really got it all. I don’t wanna say figure it out, but it’s a process of like digging away those deep ingrained. And some of it is ancestral, right? Like it’s been carried down throughout the line. And undoing that type of deep work, which is why I’ve gone through multiple ones. It, it kind of gets easier because you can recognize what’s happening and you’re like, oh crap, okay, here we go. The biggest thing for me has each time it’s happened, the fear has dissipated more and more. [00:14:00] I know the first time it happened I was like, I never wanna go through this again.
This is terrifying. And the second time it happened, I was like, you know, grieving. I was like it’s happening again. Oh my God. Okay. I’m, I’m still like getting into the more esoteric side of my life and like what this means and how to work through this. And then the, the third time it happened I was like, frustrated, I thought I did all this work. I thought it was healed. I thought it was over. and I’m recently going through it again, and now I’m just kind of laughing. It’s not painful anymore. It’s like, crap. Okay. It’s not as grandiose as it was. It gets smaller and smaller. I’m recognizing what is like still in the healing process and learning to let go, and that is the biggest thing for me is letting go and learning to grieve [00:15:00] what I had envisioned for my life. And that light, it pivots happen. And it’s okay to grieve that loss. And I think that’s something that as a society we’ve not been allowing ourselves. When when you lose a job, when you go through a layoff, when big things happen and all of a sudden that, that vision for your life that’s not there anymore, so I have slingshot from being an artist to going into corporate to back to being an artist because I am hungry for it now. I want it back in my life. But a new version of myself as an artist because I am a mom. I am almost 40. I have all of these experiences and wanting to put that into something that brings out emotions in others and they feel and can relate that way.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Hmm. I love that story. There’s so many things that I wanna pull out from that, but I, I love how you’ve [00:16:00] returned to your beginnings, but as a new you. And so now you’re going to embrace your love, but you’re, but you’re allowing yourself to fully embody it versus being the avatar role that you, you were told it was, and that’s beautiful.
I do think that we carry ancestral, a lot of ancestral teachings and blockages, and that many of us are. Brought here to be the tiebreakers, to be the ancestral healers. And that is why sometimes we are the one in our family that’s doing something different from the rest of the family. But you’re essentially helping the whole family because you are healing that and it’s important for us to step into what really lights us up. And, and like you said, most people [00:17:00] think that that means a hobby and it is difficult of course to fully embrace that in a world that revolves around money and achievements because we can’t just sometimes do what we love, but on the other side of that being that empty shell, because you are following what others have told you, your life should be like, certainly isn’t the way either.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: No. Yeah, and I will say if it’s meant to be, I have learned that the universe will a way for it to be because I can say where I am currently. Is exactly where I wanted to be when I was a dancer, was creating and having the space to create and having not just the financial support, that’s always like a component, but it wasn’t the main focus, but it was having the emotional support [00:18:00] to be like, okay, yeah, let’s do it.
Just do it. I’m here. Keep me in the loop, you know, let’s talk about it. If it’s not working, let’s not do it anymore. You know, type of conversations. I didn’t have that. As a dancer, it was go, go, go, go, go. And now it’s like, yeah, there’s that little bit of go, go, go because of the financial component. But it’s also having that support, person who is saying to me, look, just try it. Just do it. what happens. And that’s like,
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Freeing.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: yes.

Megan Mary – MeganMary: Mm-hmm. Yeah. And it’s almost like you started out in a toxic workplace environment that of the dance studio.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Yeah.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: And it’s unfortunate because I love dance myself and it’s not a kind place
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Mm-hmm. No.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: and that just takes all of the passion right out of it, it seems like.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: It does, it does. You definitely have to have a support group, a support network that’s not necessarily within same industry, whether that’s family or friends there is that support component that absolutely is essential if you’re in that industry
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Mm-hmm.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: it can really pull you down.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yeah, and I guess there, there can be burnout in any
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Yes.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: industry really, in any career path that you can choose. [00:21:00] Particularly if you’re putting yourself second,
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Mm-hmm.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: It’s that delicate balance because like I was saying, everybody has to have a job. Everybody has to make a living to survive on this physical realm.
Unfortunately, I wish it wasn’t that way. But then you have to find that balance with your, your soul’s needs and your spiritual existence and be able to bring both into the world and without burning yourself out. So
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Mm-hmm.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: women that are approaching similar transitions in their life, what advice would you give them?
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Oh allow yourself to feel all of the feelings, the rage, the anger, the sorrow, the grief, numbness. Feel it, don’t wallow in it, meaning like, don’t stay there for an extended period of time, but acknowledge and work through those emotions [00:22:00] so that you can keep moving forward. It’s not gonna feel good. It’s gonna feel sticky, it’s gonna feel scary, it’s gonna feel all the feels. but what I’ve found is that, and I’ve had coaches who have helped me do this, so let me be very clear, like I’m not just making this up. I’ve worked through this. I’ve had coaches myself who are like, you need to grieve. And when they told me that I would, I allowed me to grieve the loss of something. It was freeing. Because it was the permission slip that like I didn’t know I needed to allow myself to let go of something that didn’t come to pass. And without it, you just hang onto it and you fester, and then you just continue down this negativity and this toxic place. And then the opportunities that you’re looking for don’t manifest.
Because like I mentioned earlier, you’re just radiating this low vibrational [00:23:00] energy. people are gonna feel it, whether they’re cognizant of it or not, they’re gonna feel it. And then the opportunities that present themselves are gonna be the ones that aren’t the best fit, and they’re not gonna feel good.
And then you’re gonna be like, well, I’ll just take it because it’s something, and that doesn’t feel good either. So allow yourself to work through the emotions, feel the emotions, allow them to be there, and then release them.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: That’s very important. Yes. Thank you for sharing that. It along your path, what? Aside from the support group that you found, what other modalities or experiences helped you find your way? For me dreams are obviously a really big component and I get a lot of guidance in my dreams and I also get a lot of synchronicities and little signs that push me one way or the other when I’m wavering and I’m thinking, I don’t know. And then it comes up again, and then it comes up again and [00:24:00] I’m like, okay. All right. I see you. So have you had experiences like that in your journey?
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: So I in my family, it’s very common. There are a number of us who are clairvoyants,
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Mm-hmm.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: And so dreams, yes. As I’ve gotten older, you know, with young kids sometimes like sleep as a little bit of a challenge when I have young ones whose patterns are changing and that means they’re dictating, you know, how I’m sleeping.
So, other signs have come up deja vu, but quantum physics is kind of a thing where I’ll see in my third eye, like an overlapping of events that I’m like, okay, so I am on the right path. Whether I like it or not, this is where I’m meant to be right now, and it is going somewhere. You know, repeating numbers are a thing.
When I get kind of frustrated and I’m getting to that of like. I’m gonna throw in the towel and do something else because I don’t think it’s working. Those [00:25:00] synchronicities really show up in various ways. So it can be sometimes I’ll just be scrolling on like social media, especially TikTok, because that’s like my place to be creative right now. And there are certain people that’ll pop up, I. will say be careful with these, you know, people are putting different energy out there, there are certain people I follow their readings come up and sometimes like I won’t see them at all for extended periods of time because I don’t need the reminder. I have my own cards. I could definitely go to them, but I’m a bit of a chaotic person and some of the entities around me are chaos. So it’s kinda like I, we’re winging it as we go and they’re just throwing me signs as I go. And it’s up to me to pick up on them. But sometimes certain people will pop up and it’ll kind of be like this repetitive like reminder of like, keep going, keep going, keep going. And I’m like, alright, cool. I got the message and then it’ll just go silent. Once that happens it’s just being tuned in on that level, so, yeah.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yes, I absolutely get that too. And it, [00:26:00] it’s like you said, because it, I think it’s almost our nature to default to the doubt state
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Right.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: ‘Cause you don’t know exactly what’s gonna happen. And so you’re kinda like, eh, I don’t know. I don’t know if it’s gonna work out. And you default to that, and then you get the little, the little sign, the little sign, the little sign, little sign, and you’re like, okay, all right.
I know you’re right. You know? So it happens almost on a daily basis because even as much as you might think, I’m gonna wake up today, I’m gonna be positive, you know, then the day starts and things happen and you get swayed and then you start going back to your default. And it’s hard, it’s hard to set that default or to even unset it really.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Mm-hmm.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: but it’s kind of a constant opportunity. I’m not gonna say it’s a constant challenge. It’s a constant opportunity
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Right.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: to see the, the good in what’s happening and to trust in that, it is all working out [00:27:00] in your favor.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Mm-hmm.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: and that even if you can’t see. Behind the scenes and a lot of times our life trajectory seems to go in these totally disparate ways.
And you’re like, I was this, and then I was this, and then I, then I thought I was gonna be this, and then I was working here. But when you look back at everything, you’re like, you know what? That all did kind of makes sense linearly. And it actually did bring me here, which it wouldn’t have if I hadn’t done that.
And so while you’re in the thick of it, you’re thinking, this doesn’t make sense. I’m in the wrong place. I need to do something else. And you’re constantly in that state of I need to do something else,
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Right.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: if you’re partly doing what you love,
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Mm-hmm.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: because maybe it’s not going as fast as you want, or you’re not having the success you thought you’d get or whatever.
And so then you’re constantly thinking for the next thing and you’re pushing that [00:28:00] trajectory forward and retroactively, it looks so obvious.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Right. Yes.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: So funny.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Yeah. Looking back on stuff, I always am doing that. I’m like, that made so much sense. But it sucked while I was in the moment because I had the patience of a gnat.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yes. Yes. Yeah. And as a driven person, that’s exactly it, you know, it’s like, but I want it to happen now. I want everything to happen now. Just snap my fingers and have it happen. Because I think that I have remnants of previous existences where things did happen quicker.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Mm-hmm.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: that’s why I have little tolerance for the mundanity of the physical existence.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Yes.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Why do I have to do this again? You know? Why does it take so long to do these little things when I’m really wanna just be existing up in this higher realm? And I know that it’s there and I know I’ve been there and there things happen instantaneously.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Mm-hmm.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: But here we are. And you know, [00:29:00] there’s, there must be a reason for the slow ride.
And, and we, and we must have to savor it as we go.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Yep. Yeah, same. I can relate the phrase, I was always told as a kid, enjoy the journey,
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Exactly.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: no,
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yes. It’s true though.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: it
Megan Mary – MeganMary: just really hard to do in the moment. It’s kind of like the saying, these are the good old days. Right now is the good old days because it’s gonna go and you’re gonna be further along and you’re gonna say, oh, remember when I was doing that? And that was great.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Yeah, exactly.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: So yeah.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Yep.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: And even though this will be coming out on the 16th, right now, we’re sitting on the seven seven portal, which is actually a really crucial time for embracing that change and that possibility. And it’s a day where if you’re sitting there thinking the whole time that, that you are making the wrong choices and that nothing’s happening for you, it’s just [00:30:00] going to be mirrored and impact even more.
But if you. Lean into the opportunities that are available for you and that you are experiencing right now, then you’re going to be taking that higher road of possibility.
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Absolutely. Yeah.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: So it’s really important to always, always keep that in mind. Well, for people that are interested in what you are doing with the grounded energy and with the podcast that’s coming out, where can they find you?
Tara Haislip: Grounded Energy111 | IG @grounded_energy111: Yeah. So the best place to find me is on Instagram. You can find me at Grounded_Energy 1 1 1. And then you can also find the podcast also on Instagram at burn the Script Pod. We just got our RSS feeds up and running, so you can search the Burn the Script podcast on any place that you stream, music, audio, whatever. I do believe that there is another burn. The script they just kind of launched, but it’s a, a duo and they’re [00:31:00] doing a different talking show. So the other one is just me, it’s my picture. You’ll see an image of the Phoenix. I have a trailer there, so click like follow, share. We’ll be getting some episodes up in October and we’re just kind of sitting with how to keep it rolling as we go.
