25. Tara Gilvar & All the Things: Believe. Inspire. Grow. & Invest in your Happiness

"Who were you? Who are you? And who do you want to be?" Meet Tara Gilvar: friend, mentor, colleague, and overall inspiration✨ Tara Gilvar is the Founder and CEO of B.I.G. Believe. Inspire. Grow. a global women’s empowerment organization.  A natural born connector, Tara spent the early part of her career, after graduating from Boston College as a political science major, working in Boston politics and building national consumer brands at a national advertising agency. Like many women, Tara left the workforce to raise her children. After seeing a bumper sticker on a teacher's car that read, “Remember Who You Wanted to Be,“ her life changed. She knew she had to act.  After gathering nearly 40 women from her town into her living room to discuss the pursuit of their business dreams one morning in 2009, Tara realized, immediately, how the development of B.I.G. could provide better balance, more personal fulfillment and a sense of intellectual camaraderie that had been missing for most of her adult life. It is a concept that she has been driven to share with women around the country. Website
