Send a textGet ready for a wild ride on Tara’s Voice with Karlee Smart—two-time Mrs. New Jersey, real estate rockstar, and my fellow control freak (sorry, Karlee). We spin the wheel, land on ‘best advice you didn’t take,’ and tumble into dishwashers from hell, pageant myths, and why letting go of control is harder than it sounds. Karlee's a mom, a vet advocate, and proof you can strut a bikini at 40 and not care who’s judging. Me? I’m just trying not to reload the dishwasher for the third time today. It’s messy, funny, and real—listen now and tell me: what advice do you wish you’d followed? Subscribe—life’s worth laughing at.A two-time Mrs. New Jersey and national pageant champion, Karlee Smart is a force in both the modeling and real estate industries. As a top-performing sales agent, she blends expertise with an unstoppable drive for success.

Karlee uses her voice and platform to empower others, inspire change, and honor those who serve.
