This week, things went a little different than planned. Instead of dwelling & complaining, I decided to make an episode on it.Life doesn't simply "happen" to us.

Happy Valentine's day, loves!  In this episode, I touch on the expectations of this capitalist holiday - how celebrating love is fun, as long as you realize it is more than okay to be single.I explain the difference between being "alone" vs. being "lonely."I also go more in depth on what I believe the true meaning of self-love is. Treating yourself on dates and facials make up a good time, but if you're constantly being self-degrading - is that really self-love?Remember to not be so hard on yourself. Self-love is a lifelong process - a work in progress.STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK:@trustandthriveTWITTER: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontWEBSITE: www.tara-mont.comEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

Sometimes, the hardest, yet most rewarding part of any experience is just showing up, despite any fears we may have. In this episode, I discuss the importance of "showing up" (physically, mentally, & emotionally) in all aspects of life - career, relationships, self love, & more.You never know what new opportunities, people, &/or experiences are on the other side of the door. So, how are you going to "show up" in your life?STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK:@trustandthriveTWITTER: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontWEBSITE: www.tara-mont.comEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

I turned 24 this week & have been reflecting on what I've learned in my 23rd year of life - one lesson has been to stop taking things personally.Why waste energy on the opinions of someone who most likely doesn't even know you?Be open to feedback & growth, but don't let the comments or actions of others affect you more than they should.Trust me - most of the time, it's not even personal.STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK:@trustandthriveTWITTER: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontWEBSITE: www.tara-mont.comEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

Today marks three years with my boyfriend - my first relationship ever - so I decided to share what I've learned within these past few years.We often compare our relationships to fairytales, rom coms, highlight reels of other couples - creating a fantasy of unrealistic expectations.In this episode, things get raw & I share how I may have fallen into the trap of these unrealistic expectations, instead of appreciating what IS. In addition, I discuss the importance of knowing your worth & how feeling complete as an individual is helpful in creating a more healthy, loving relationship.Once again, I am not a relationship expert - just a woman in love, sharing her personal experience :)STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK:@trustandthriveTWITTER: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontWEBSITE: www.tara-mont.comEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com
