Tara Wear on Burnout, Belonging, and Choosing to Thrive

from The Adventure Paradox · host Cat Caldwell Myers

This conversation is an invitation to slow down and remember that the adventure is not waiting somewhere else. It is happening right here.This is the full episode with Tara Wear, a coach and facilitator with over 30 years of experience supporting leaders and women through growth, burnout, and transition. Tara and I met through the TEDx Spokane community, where she coached me through my upcoming talk, and this conversation felt like a natural deepening of that shared journey.We talk about burnout, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and the pressure so many women feel to overdo, overthink, and constantly improve. Tara shares her personal path into coaching, group work, and leadership, including how healing, community, and compassion shaped the work she offers today through Ready to Thrive Coaching.We explore the balance between being and doing, the power of intention, breath, and grounding, and why safe community matters when we are trying to grow without losing ourselves. This episode is about choosing again, listening inward, and learning to thrive without abandoning your needs.Tara also shares about her Women’s Winter Book Club and Thrive Circles, spaces designed for women to practice self-compassion and connection together.Key takeaways • You can choose again, even in the middle of burnout • Self-awareness creates space for real change, not forced improvement • Thriving happens when being and doing are allowed to exist togetherA reflection to try Pause today and notice where you are pushing to be better instead of listening to what you need. Take one small action that supports your body, breath, or heart, not because you earned it, but because you are here.Links and resourcesWebsite https://readytothriveco.comEmail: [email protected]’s Winter Book Club Thrive CircleBook Mindful Self-Compassion for Burnout by Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Christopher Germer: https://a.co/d/h10F5YnSend us Fan Mail Support the show✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit👉 Go here to HEAR my Tedx talk ✨ Order Wings of Purpose — now available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYL381CS👉 Book Launch Party, June 27th in Jackson Hole, WY: https://butterflymarch.com/🔥 Ever thought about how you can incorporate your love of horses in to your work as a mom, coach, teacher, facilitator or business owner?
