I Can Do Both - The cost of capable with Tara Clark

from Unravelling: The Diary of a Midlife Mess · host Sharon Wilkes-Burt

This week on Unravelling, I'm joined by Tara Clark — makeup artist, business owner, mother of four, and a woman who has spent most of her life being told she's superwoman. And for a long time, she believed it.We follow Tara from a dance-loving girl who found high school friendships challenging, through a wild and liberating early twenties, a marriage, a separation, an IVF journey that gave her twins, and somehow — against all odds — four children under four. Along the way she built Black Lash Makeup and The Lip Lab Perth, tattooed "I can do both" on her arm, and kept pushing through.Until last year, when everything caught up with her and life unravelled.In this conversation we talk about what it really means to be part of the sandwich generation — still raising kids while watching your parents need more of you than you have left to give. We talk about performing strength, the cost of being the one who holds it all together, and what it looks like when that finally starts to crack.Tara's unravelling isn't a breakdown. It's an awakening. And her honesty about where she is right now — still in it, still figuring it out — is exactly the kind of conversation we need more of.Funny, warm, and completely real — this one's for every woman who's ever thought "I should be doing more." Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Unravelling: The Diary of a Midlife Mess.If something resonated with you today, I’d love to hear your thoughts,  come join the conversation on Facebook and Instagram @theglowupguide_au or visit sharonwilkesburt.com for more resources and support.Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review if you’re enjoying the journey so far!
