Redefining Love with Tara Portelli

Most people think their life is happening to them. But what if your day is actually being created before you even get out of bed? And more importantly… what if you could not only shift your day-to-day fulfillment, but also begin accessing the experiences you’ve been dreaming about, with just a few internal shifts? In this solo episode, we explore how your thoughts and emotions are shaping your reality, and how your default patterns keep you stuck, looping the same life on repeat. I share my personal approach to creating the life I always wanted and more. Most people are waiting to feel different before they act. But real change comes from acting differently before it feels natural. You don’t become happy and fulfilled by finding the right life. You become it by no longer being the person who keeps choosing the old one. You don’t need more time, more clarity, or a different life to feel fulfilled. You need a different relationship with your own mind, your patterns, and the emotions you keep choosing every day.   If you are enjoying this podcast please send a link to a friend you think could benefit:) Subscribe, rate and review..gives me the opportunity to get this to those that need it.   Podcast Episode Mentioned:   #53 Beyond Therapy: Anxiety, Depression, and How Psychedelic Medicine Opened My Eyes Connect with me: Follow me on IG: @iamtaraportelli Learn about my Retreats: www.arcadiahealing.ca   #selflove #personalgrowth #healingjourney #mindsetshift #innerwork #emotionalhealing #selfawareness #consciousliving #spiritualgrowth #lawofattraction #createyourreality #breakthecycle #mentalhealthawareness #selfdevelopment #authenticself #relationships #attachmentstyles #innerpeace #mindfulness #growthmindset #selfworth #healingtrauma #podcastlife #selflovejourney #awakening

Have you ever made a decision that you knew was right… but still felt wrong? Like somehow, choosing yourself came with a cost? In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal chapter from my life, one where guilt convinced me I needed to “make things right,” and sent me on a humanitarian mission to Haiti, that put my own life at risk. What I discovered, challenged everything I thought I knew about responsibility, self-worth, and This continuation of my book NUDE, offers deep raw insights to my own difficult decisions and the battle to walk in my truth. If you’ve ever struggled with trusting yourself, this one is for you.   Just new to these book readings?

Many of us, now more than ever, are struggling with some form of mental health challenge. We’re trying to keep up with lives that feel relentless, juggling family, careers, relationships, and financial pressure, with little space to slow down or simply breathe. And what reflects back from that place is often depression, anxiety, and a quiet loss of joy. For some, it goes even deeper. There’s a growing number of people living on the edge of more severe mental health challenges, feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and at times, like they’re losing their grip on reality. But there is hope. We are entering a time where new solutions are revolutionizing the way we approach mental health. Psychedelics are re-emerging as a powerful tool, being studied across respected institutions around the world, with results that are not only compelling, but deeply promising for long-term healing. In this solo episode, I share my personal experience with psilocybin therapy and how a single journey became a turning point in my life. It shifted the way I saw myself, my pain, and my path forward in a way that years of searching never quite reached. Since that day, I’ve devoted my life to supporting others who are struggling with their mental health, helping them step into safe, intentional, and supported experiences that can open the door to real internal transformation. Because this isn’t just a “trip.” It’s a reconnection. An awakening. A return to a life that actually feels worth living.     Watch this testimonial: Police Officer Suffering with PTSD, Has Life Changing Psilocybin Experience   Connect with me: Follow me on IG: @iamtaraportelli Learn about my Retreats: www.arcadiahealing.ca   #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #selflove #selfcare #healing #anxiety #depression #mindfulness #wellness #mindset #therapy #trauma #recovery #mentalhealthsupport #innerhealing #emotionalhealing #spiritualawakening #consciousliving #growthjourney #selfhealers #psychedelichealing #psilocybintherapy #awakening #personaldevelopment #arcadiahealingsanctum #taraportelli #redefininglove

In this solo episode, I dive into something so many of us have experienced but don’t always want to admit, ignoring red flags. You know that feeling… when something is off, but you override it. You tell yourself they’ll change, that they just need time, that you can see their potential so clearly. So you open the door anyway… even when deep down, you know it’s not right. This episode is about that doorway. The times we ignore the red flags, every time we choose someone’s potential over their reality, it leads us to the same place, disappointment, confusion, and ultimately, lessons we couldn’t avoid. The journey is about learning to set higher standards and stop giving access to people who aren’t aligned. And most importantly, learning to truly value ourselves, enough to walk away the first time something doesn’t feel right. I also continue reading from my book Nude, sharing real, personal stories of the relationships I allowed into my life, the ones that challenged me, broke me open, and ultimately forced me to grow. These chapters are raw. They’re unfiltered. They might even feel controversial at times but they are my truth. And while those experiences were painful, they taught me lessons I couldn’t have learned any other way. They set me on paths that wouldn’t have unfolded if I hadn’t faced my patterns and taken responsibility for where I was allowing myself to settle. This episode will make you pause. It will make you question. And it might just make you think twice the next time someone with red flags and a lot of “potential” tries to enter your life.   Just new to these book readings?

Do you ever feel like you just don’t have enough time or energy to give to the people you love? By the time you get home from your day… do you find yourself shutting down? Or maybe your romantic relationship is struggling. Maybe you’ve even noticed a pattern, relationships breaking down around the same themes, like betrayal. If you said yes to any of these, you could be experiencing something I call energy leaks. In this episode, we’re diving into how your energy field can develop cracks causing you to leak energy, disconnect from yourself, and ultimately impact your relationships. I’m sharing my personal journey of going from a people pleaser… to becoming a protector of my own energy. You’ll learn how protecting your energy strengthens not only your relationship with yourself, but also the foundation of every relationship in your life, creating powerful, positive shifts. I’ll also walk you through how to create your own energetic protection practice, something simple you can incorporate into your daily life along with setting boundaries that truly align with your values. And most importantly, you’ll learn how to identify where your energy is leaking… and how to begin healing it. This episode is here to help you step into your power, elevate your frequency, and create a ripple effect that transforms not only your life but the lives of those around you.

All the heartbreak and struggle you’ve been through is preparing you for what you truly want. You can’t have the amazing things in your life if you’re not becoming the version of you who’s able to receive them. This applies to everything… especially relationships. Take a journey with me in this solo episode as I read two chapters from my book NUDE, sharing raw pieces of my life and the heartbreak I had to navigate. But like a perfectly orchestrated symphony, it all led to the triumph I’m living now because everything that fell apart was shaping who I was becoming. Life is always unfolding for us in ways we may not understand in the moment. But when you connect to the deeper purpose, you can release the fear and trust a little more in its magic. The universe is always listening to what you want, you just don’t always understand what the path will look like to get there. So trust in the perfectly timed unfolding in front of you.

You want a relationship that feels deep and meaningful… that fairytale kind of love. But we’re living in a world where so much of it doesn’t feel real. Old-school love was rooted in simplicity with fewer distractions and more traditional roles but there wasn’t always space to grow or step into your higher purpose. Modern-day love is different. It’s filled with endless opportunities for infidelity in the age of social media, and a deep fear of vulnerability and truly being seen. I’m here to explore how we can bring the depth of traditional love into the modern world, with honesty, respect, and transparency. This means looking at the parts of ourselves we often avoid… especially in an age of micro-lies, even the ones we tell ourselves. This podcast is for those who want something real, love that isn’t diluted or built on illusion, but grounded in respect, honour, protection, and vulnerability, while allowing each other to grow into our fullest selves. This is the future we get to create for ourselves and for the generations to come.

Life has a way of breaking us open. Sometimes it comes through painful relationships, struggles at work, financial stress, or deep challenges within our families. And when enough of these moments begin to stack up, it can start to feel like life is happening to you. Many of us internalize these experiences as proof that we must have done something wrong, or that somehow we aren’t doing life the way we should be. But the truth is, this is life’s gentle guidance system. Every challenge, every heartbreak, every moment that pushes us inward is quietly guiding us toward the path of becoming our highest self. When we are pushed inward, we often have no choice but to face the parts of ourselves we have been avoiding the fears we carry, the identities we cling to, and the life we are terrified of losing. What we rarely see in those moments is that something more aligned, more expansive, and more beautiful is waiting on the other side. And that is why I am sharing these stories in my book Nude. Because within the breaking, the questioning, and the rebuilding, there is transformation. My hope is that somewhere in these pages, and in these words, you recognize a part of your own journey, and gain a deeper insight to the unfolding of life's, uncertainties. Remember, sometimes the hardest chapters of our lives are the ones that quietly lead us home to the truth of who we are.   If you are enjoying this podcast please send a link to a friend you think could benefit:) Subscribe, rate and review..gives me the opportunity to get this to those that need it.   Just new to these book readings?

One day you wake up and something feels different. Your body is changing. Your mind feels foggy. Your emotions move in unfamiliar ways, and the person you once knew in the mirror seems to be shifting into someone new. As we age, our youthful beauty slowly begins to slip away, and we transition into a profound metamorphosis of the body. In its place, we step into earned wisdom and a deeper internal beauty, learning to release the need for external validation. As a tribute to International Women’s Day, I want to discuss the changes happening in the aging female body as she enters into perimenopause and beyond. The difficulty of navigating a physically different version of ourselves, and how we can preserve our bodies, manage symptoms, and deepen a compassionate and loving relationship with ourselves. Moving through these changes is not easy. Sometimes it can even feel terrifying as we grieve the loss of our youth. But within this transition also lives an invitation,  to understand our worth more deeply and to recognize all that we bring to the world through the wisdom that comes with age.

When we move through difficult seasons in life, sometimes hearing someone else’s story, their truth on the other side of adversity, becomes the light we hold on to. The reminder that we will make it through. Difficulties aren’t random. They invite us to choose differently. They redirect us toward a life that is more aligned, more expansive, and ultimately more incredible than the one we were trying to force. We’ve been conditioned to believe life has to look a certain way, milestones to hit, accomplishments to achieve, material things to accumulate, in order to be happy. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. If anything, that belief system pulls us further from our authenticity and inner knowing. And in many ways… it’s by design. In this solo episode, I share the introduction and first chapter of my book as the beginning of a deeply personal series. I’ll be reading the intimate details of my life experience in the hope that, through my story, you begin to see your own more clearly. This series will be raw and vulnerable, but also supportive and illuminating, helping you navigate your own journey with greater ease, wisdom, and self-trust.

Are you curious about  “non-monogamous ” relationships? No matter what side of the coin you fall on, this conversation is going to be anything but surface level. In this episode, I have a raw conversation with Candace Klein,  lawyer, entrepreneur, and transformational leader whose work bridges finance, technology, and human development. She’s the author of Typhoon Honey: The only way out is through" and has also recently published "Polyagony: The Art of Repair in Open Relationships". We explore the topic of polyamory and open relating, a dynamic I don’t personally align with and we lean into the tension with honesty and respect. Questioning, if these relationships are sustainable or if they are a way to avoid deep intimacy. This conversation is about curiosity and about emotional intelligence. Asking the hard questions: Can non-monogamy truly create safety? What happens to attachment, trust, and long-term devotion? Where do empowerment and avoidance get blurred? As someone who believes deeply in commitment and sacred partnership, I challenge Candace’s views and she challenges mine. What unfolds is a grounded, thoughtful dialogue about love, autonomy, jealousy, power, trauma, and growth. Whether you agree, disagree, or sit somewhere in between, this episode invites you to think critically about what conscious relationship really means and to examine your own beliefs about intimacy, freedom, and devotion. This is a brave one. And I’m here for it.

As a First Responder, there really is no room for trauma, the job demands resilience at any cost. You are expected to keep it together and not show signs of weakness. The truth is, the body remembers what the mind tries to forget, forced silence becomes dangerous. In this solo episode, I share my story as a former Paramedic, how one call became the tipping point that sent me into a spiral of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I talk openly about the experienced isolation, in the face of ridicule and the lack of real support when you’re struggling to put your uniform on. This isn’t a clinical conversation. It’s a human one. I also share what actually helped me heal when traditional paths fail. My experience with a single dose of Psilocybin that became the turning point,  allowing me to reclaim my life, my nervous system, and my sense of self. If you’re a first responder, a veteran, or someone quietly carrying trauma while trying to be “OK,” this episode is for you. You’re not weak. You’re not broken. And you’re not alone. There is hope and there are other ways forward.   Connect with me: Follow me on IG: @iamtaraportelli Learn about my Retreats: www.arcadiahealing.ca If you are enjoying this podcast please send a link to a friend you think could benefit:) Subscribe, rate and review..gives me the opportunity to get this to those that need it.     #PTSD #FirstResponderMentalHealth #FirstResponders #ParamedicLife #TraumaRecovery #MentalHealthAwareness #HealingJourney #InvisibleWounds #BreakTheStigma #YouAreNotAlone #AnxietyRecovery #DepressionRecovery #NervousSystemHealing #TraumaInformed #PodcastEpisode #MentalHealthPodcast #Resilience #PostTraumaticGrowth #PsychedelicTherapy #PsilocybinTherapy #AlternativeHealing #HealingTrauma #VeteranSupport #EmergencyServices #EndTheSilence #redefininglove #taraportelli        

Without realizing it, you are unconsciously programmed for fear. That same fear is blocking you, blocking you from abundance, love, and everything you want to experience in your life. In this solo episode, I share my own experience navigating fear, along with the steps to actually create your manifestations in your life within 72 hours. This practice came to my awareness just last week, and once you begin implementing it, you’ll become the witness to your manifestations turning into your reality. I also share a key statement that could change everything,  from the love you’ve been blocking to the career you’ve always dreamed of. Everything is available to you. This episode offers techniques to unstick yourself from fear, release grief, and step into a life of infinite abundance and love. An episode that could quite literally change your life.

Why are we so insecure? Why do we choose fear over love? So many of us are afraid to open our hearts because of past hurts and the fear of vulnerability. Yet the truth is this: love is our natural state, and there is nothing to fear. You are love. And how beautiful would it be to share that love with others, without clinging to fear of loss, but instead trusting the powerful frequency love carries and allowing it to flow freely, no matter what happens. There is a deep inner knowing that when we are in love, we are walking in our truth. In this episode with Aline Ghorayeb, author of A Change of Heart with Mary Magdalene, a work of sacred revelation, Gnostic wisdom, and inner alchemy, she teaches how to use love as a source of power rather than weakness. Learn how to let go, soften your heart, and truly let love in.

So here we are in 2026, and you genuinely want to manifest your dream life. You’ve tried everything, yet nothing seems to be working. You feel ready… but somehow it just isn’t happening. The truth is, there’s something you’re missing, something so profound when it comes to accessing the reality you desire, and almost no one is talking about it. It’s not as simple as staying positive or thinking about what you want. Trust me, I did that for years and it didn’t work. In this solo episode, I’m sharing my secret to accessing the mystery and magic of life, while also becoming the version of yourself who can actually receive every dream your heart desires. I’ve created a reality that, at times, makes me stop and pinch myself, wondering if this is truly my life. This episode will help you understand what’s been keeping you stuck, how to shift it, and how to finally access the life you’ve been calling in.   Connect with me: Follow me on IG: @iamtaraportelli Learn about my Retreats: www.arcadiahealing.ca   #manifestation #dreamlife #spiritualawakening #innerwork #selflovejourney #mindsetshift #healingjourney #consciouscreation #personaltransformation #limitingbeliefs #alignedliving #spiritualgrowth #selfworth #realitycreation #manifestyourdreams #podcastlife #solopodcast #awakeningconsciousness #embodiment #energyalignment #selfmastery #intentionalliving #healyourself #becomingher #psilocybinhealing #plantmedicinejourney #soulledbusiness #retreatlife #healingretreat #expandedconsciousness #embodiedwisdom #spiritualentrepreneur #deephealing #transformationalwork #redefininglove #iamtaraportelli #arcadiahealingsanctum

Do you find yourself caught in a spiral that keeps you stuck, disempowered, and disconnected from your true value and self-worth? This part of you that wants more, yet doesn’t fully believe it’s possible? We are our own worst critics, and our self-judgments hold us back from seeing the incredible humans we truly are. We stay trapped in limiting beliefs about what’s possible for us and what we are capable of becoming. Many of us use words to tear ourselves down, when we should be using them to build ourselves up. The subconscious mind runs 95% of what we think and feel, so let’s tap into it. Through this the second guided meditation of this series over the holidays, we begin to change the way we experience our own value and self-worth. This meditation is designed to elevate you and help reprogram the subconscious through the power of affirmation.   If you are enjoying this podcast, please take a moment to like, review or subscribe, it would mean so much:)      #selfworth #selflovejourney #healingfromwithin #subconsciousmind #guidedmeditation #affirmations #innerhealing #limitingbeliefs #personalgrowth #emotionalhealing #mindsetshift #reprogramyourmind #selfempowerment #innerwork #consciousliving #spiritualhealing

Do you find yourself feeling guilt or shame, or beating yourself up over mistakes in an attempt to become perfect? Perfection is an illusion. The truth is… our mistakes are some of our greatest teachers. In this podcast, and over the next two weeks, I’m inviting you to take a journey into the deeper parts of yourself. The places that hold darkness. The parts of you that may not feel fully accepted. Using my guided meditations, I will gently guide you into a beautiful reconnection with yourself—one that feels safe and expansive, allowing you to be more fully you in the world. Together, we will softly illuminate these spaces, meeting them with compassion, forgiveness, worthiness, and acknowledgment. These meditations are sacred invitations—practices I have previously offered only within my personal, in-person transformational retreats. It is an honour to now share them with you here, as a doorway into deeper self-connection and healing.   JOIN MY TRANSFORMATIONAL COURSE   Use code POD40 to get 40% off at checkout    Pain To Empowerment -  Learn to turn your darkest moments into your greatest superpower.    If you are enjoying the podcast, please comment and subscribe     #selfacceptance #innerhealing #shadowwork #selfcompassion #healingjourney #emotionalhealing #spiritualgrowth #selfworth #innerchildhealing #mindfulliving #personaltransformation #consciousliving #selflovejourney #healingmeditation #authenticself #lettinggo #forgivenesspractice #innerpeace #soulwork #embodiedhealing #releasingperfection #redefininglove #taraportelli #meditation            

Do you want to change things in your life, but the unpredictability of what’s on the other side of that change has you spinning? What if the uncertainty, the not knowing, is actually where the magic of life lies? Staying comfortable creates a false sense of security, because at any given moment the world you know can shift, just like we witnessed during the pandemic. The real question is: are you going to live a muted version of your life for a false promise of happiness and prosperity? In this solo episode, I share my own experience of finally taking a step forward I’d been hesitating to take, only to find myself packing my bags and returning to the same circumstance, yet with new experiences, new growth, and, most importantly, a new lens. This episode will leave you inspired to take that long-awaited step into the life you keep imagining, and to release the version of yourself that stays tucked inside that “perfect” little box holding you back. Your bigger self is waiting for you, waiting for you to step into your true potential Once you realize the only person blocking your path is you, you’ll understand that predictability isn’t where life happens, the magic is in the messy, shadowy hallways that eventually lead you into the light.   JOIN MY TRANSFORMATIONAL COURSE Use code POD40 to get 40% off at checkout    Pain To Empowerment -  Learn to turn your darkest moments into your greatest superpower.    If you are enjoying the podcast, please comment and subscribe   #growthjourney #takethestep #nowrongmoves #trusttheprocess #lifelessons #mindsetshift #findyourpath #selfdiscovery #embracetheunknown #forwardisforward #personaldevelopment #innergrowth #courageovercomfort #chooseyourself #transformationjourney #keepgrowing #healingjourney #purposepath #livealigned #empoweryourself #detoursleadtosomethinggreater #messymagic #trustyourself #redefininglove #iamtaraportelli  

Do you ever notice how some people seem to effortlessly attract everything they want into their lives? The beautiful relationship, the thriving career? Meanwhile, you’re watching videos and reading every book on manifestation, trying to call in your heart’s desires… yet somehow you still feel so far away from your dream. In this solo episode, I share the missing link to creating your dreams — the part they forgot to mention. They gave you “The Secret,” but left out a key ingredient in the recipe. It’s not as simple as focusing your mind on what you want and staying positive. In this episode, I open up about my own real-life experiences with manifestation and teach you how to truly connect with the things you’ve been dreaming about. To help you anchor this vibration into your body and move even closer to what you desire, I guide you through a powerful meditation designed to help you see your vision, feel it, and fully embody it. This episode is a special and unique opportunity to experience a guided meditation that I only offer inside my private retreats. It’s time to up-level and create the life you truly want.   Connect with me: Follow me on IG:@iamtaraportelli Learn about my Retreats: www.arcadiahealing.ca

Men are often expected to be the providers and the foundation of a family, but the truth is, men are struggling now more than ever. Many are lost in a sea of uncertainty, battling a lack of self-worth, and moving through life with a quiet, heavy void. In this conversation with Carter Wall, former sports performance trainer for professional athletes in the NHL and NFL, and now a personal development coach for men, he offers powerful insight into the struggles men are currently facing. Through his own challenges—battling prostate cancer, facing financial ruin, and hitting rock bottom in his career—he found a way to rise again, stronger and better than ever, as a father, a husband, and a leader. Carter believes you don’t have to sacrifice your dreams for your family and that you can truly, “have both”. This episode will make you rethink how you’re showing up in your life, and it will inspire and guide you to take the necessary steps toward becoming the best man you can possibly be, for yourself and for your family.   Connect with Carter: https://www.instagram.com/coachcarterwalls/   #menshealth #mentalhealthformen #mensdevelopment #mensgrowth #mensupport #menshealing #modernman #masculinitymatters #strongmen #menswellness #mensmindset #healingjourney #overcomingobstacles #selfworthjourney #personaldevelopment #rebuildingyourlife #lifepurpose #selfleadership #riseupmen #innerstrength #menscommunity #menspodcast #redefininglove #iamtaraportelli #inspirationformen  

Does fear hold you back from living the life you really want? Do you find yourself struggling to take a step forward because you’re afraid of failing, making the wrong choice, or facing absolute disaster? We’re wired for fear, fight or flight is our jam. In this solo episode, I dive into practical steps to overcome the fears that keep you from living your biggest and best life. Through personal stories and experiences of taking big risks, I share how leaning into fear and trusting that things will work out, helped me build a business that attracts people from all over the world and step into a version of myself I didn’t even know was possible. It’s true what they say: everything you’ve ever wanted lives on the other side of fear. This episode will inspire you to step away from fear and grow into your fullest, boldest self; the one who was meant to do great things.   Connect with me: Follow me on IG: @iamtaraportelli Watch My Episode On Legacy Makers TV (Docuseries) Watch Tara on Legacy Makers   Learn about my Retreats: www.arcadiahealing.ca

Women often hold themselves to incredibly high standards. Between being a daughter, sister, friend, and in many cases, a mother, the pressure to do it all and do it perfectly, can feel overwhelming. Every day becomes a balancing act of responsibilities and expectations. But the truth is, that level of perfection is impossible to sustain. Somewhere in the constant giving and doing, a woman begins to lose herself. What if she chose a different way? What if she started putting herself first, filling her own cup, getting the rest she needs, saying no when something doesn’t feel right, and saying yes when it truly does? Imagine if she met her own needs before trying to meet everyone else’s. How might that shift the quality of her relationships, her responsibilities and her peace of mind? Dr. Allison Alford, family communication expert and author of Good Daughtering, offers powerful tools to help you transform your family dynamics, create more space for yourself, and ultimately, redefine what it means to show up, for others and for you.   Connect with Dr. Allison: https://daughtering101.com/ IG: @daughtering101 Buy Her Book: Good Daughtering   Connect with Tara : @iamtaraportelli

Do you ever wake up with a vision — that burning idea that lights you up inside? For a moment, it feels so real… until your mind chimes in: “That would be impossible.” “I could never do that.” But here’s the truth: you absolutely can. That spark you felt? It’s the same feeling kids have when they want to play — pure excitement, pure possibility. Somewhere along the way, as we started “adulting,” life got serious, and we were taught to bury that magic. But you were never meant to lose it. You were conditioned to believe your dreams were just fantasies. Yet every visionary, every creator, every “great” you admire — they all began with that same spark. A vision that wouldn’t leave them alone. A pull so strong it kept them up at night and made them leap out of bed in the morning. In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into that phenomenon — how dreams turn into reality, and what it really takes to move through the self-doubt and sabotage that try to stop us. By the end, you’ll feel inspired to go after that thing you’ve always dreamed of — and actually believe it’s possible. Because it is. And maybe… it’s been waiting for you all along.   Connect with me: Follow me on IG: @iamtaraportelli   Watch My Episode On Legacy Makers TV (Docuseries) Legacy Makers TV   Learn about my Retreats: www.arcadiahealing.ca  

When Rachel Gitlevich arrived on vacation on the West Coast of Mexico, she didn’t know it would change her life forever. Waking up in a hospital after being in a coma was like opening her eyes for the very first time. The world she once knew—marked by self-abandonment, self-judgment, and self-destruction—was now one of infinite gratitude, radical self-acceptance, and unwavering self-love. Rachel’s story reveals the depths of inner strength she had to uncover when she couldn’t see her one-year-old son and lost her ability to walk, uncertain if she ever would again. The journey back to the self can be ruthless and heart-wrenching, yet it awakens the beauty that has always lived within your soul. It’s in the moments when your heart shatters and you’re forced to pick up the pieces that life’s greatest gifts are revealed. This episode will open your heart to a place you didn’t even know existed—and remind you of the power that’s been within you all along.   Connect with Rachel: Rachel on IG Rachel on Linkedin   Get Her Book: What The Actual Fck   Connect with Me (Tara ) Tara on IG Tara's Website    

We spend so much of our life force resisting — resisting who people are, trying to change them. Resisting when relationships don’t work out, and getting lost in months of heartbreak. We resist the situations life throws at us — the challenges — not realizing they’re actually invitations. Opportunities to make a different choice. To choose flow over friction. But instead, we get stuck in the vortex of a moment, letting it become the cloud that darkens our entire day. When we begin to move with life, everything shifts. Challenges start to feel like redirections — signs, even. And in that shift, we tap into a deeper inner peace we may never have known existed. This episode is filled with my personal, real-life experiences — the moments where life was always guiding me toward a more aligned version of myself. But my ego? It just wanted to keep me small, safe, and content. Living in full surrender takes trust. It means knowing that even when you take a step forward and it turns out to be the “wrong” one — it’s not wrong at all. It’s contrast. It’s information. It’s clarity. And that clarity helps you choose again. Life isn’t a straight path. It’s not a destination. And through my embodied experience, I want to show you how surrender can lead to something far more magical and expansive than you may have imagined — a life rooted in true abundance and inner peace.   Do you want to dive deeper into your own life and begin seeing your past through a lens of redirection and expansion, rather than feeling like life is just happening to you? My course, Pain to Empowerment, has helped so many people understand that everything they’ve experienced was part of a divine unfolding.

Join me in this empowering conversation with Darren Prince, a prominent celebrity and sports agent, who opens up about his battle with addiction — a struggle that began when a nurse offered him an opiate at a young age. What followed was years of darkness, resilience, and ultimately, redemption.   Today, he’s turned his pain into purpose, dedicating his life to helping others break free from the grip of addiction and reclaim their lives, where there are no boundaries too healing. This conversation dives deep into the human side of success, the hidden struggles behind fame, and the power of healing when you decide to rewrite your story.   Darren is an International Best Selling author of his memoir Aiming High, is a prominent sports and celebrity agent and global advocate for addiction recovery and mental health.

Are there people in your life — a partner, a child — that you wish would act or behave differently? Can you see their potential, and does that have you caught in a loop of judgment, resentment, anger, and frustration? When we see through a lens of judgment, we actually deny our own ability to love ourselves and others. In this solo episode, I get really personal about a situation that happened with my sister and how it became my own living “hell.” I was tormented watching her deny her own potential, and I felt helpless — even rotten inside — for the level of judgment I held toward her and, in turn, toward myself. It was a looping cycle that kept me stuck. After taking one of the teachings from A Course in Miracles and applying it to my situation I was in a single moment able to shift my perspective— and in front of my eyes, the miracle happened. All the negative emotion melted away. I softened, and I saw my sister’s innocence. The shift within me, and around me, was profoundly healing. When we choose to see others through the lens of love, the “hell” we find ourselves in melts away — and true healing begins.   If you liked this episode please subscribe, leave a comment and hit 5 stars - it would mean so much and helps us with our greater mission       Book Mentioned in this episode: Between Death and Life - Dolores Cannon   Follow me on IG @iamtaraportelli www.taraportelli.com     JOIN MY TRANSFORMATIONAL COURSE   Use code POD40 to get 40% off at checkout    Pain To Empowerment -  Learn to turn your darkest moments into your greatest superpower.   

Her life looked like something others would call amazing: a top-tier education from an Ivy League business school, a successful career, a beautiful home, a loving family, and a supportive community. But it all began to unravel when she was forced to face a quiet, unsettling truth: beneath all the goodness of her life lived profound grief and loneliness. For Alexis Leigh, it was time to unravel the pain of her childhood—growing up with a mother lost to addiction, who died suddenly and left scars buried deep within. That reckoning catapulted her into a dark yet transformative journey through psychedelics, healing, divorce, and ultimately into a love so powerful within herself that it radiated outward, impossible to contain. Author of Pain is a Portal To Beauty, I dive deep into this conversation with Alexis about unveiling truth, facing pain, discovering strength we fear we don’t have, and emerging from the ashes as a more open, more beautiful version of ourselves—one you cannot help but fall in love with.

This is a conversation about love, commitment, and the choices we make—decisions that either propel us into our most authentic selves or keep us stuck in the loop of “what ifs". Beginning with a program we’re taught to follow in life—one that often comes at the cost of our own selves. Marriage, kids, a dog, the white picket fence. But it’s not always as romantic as we imagined. Sometimes, staying committed to vows keeps us in the wrong relationships far too long, stunting our growth and limiting our ability to access true inner peace and joy. In this reading from my book NUDE, I share the moment the universe brought someone into my life who held up a mirror—one that magnified the depth of my self-abandonment and it was then, that everything shifted. Once you see the truth, you can’t unsee it. And in that moment, I was catapulted into a breaking point: would I choose self-love, or stay committed to a marriage with the man I loved? This is a story of self-sacrifice—how I gave up parts of myself in the name of love, choosing to see my partner’s “potential” over my own truth. I let go of my dreams and ambitions so he could pursue his, prioritizing his comfort over my calling - until the universe stepped in and lead me to the revealing of my own complacency as an act of loyalty and not an act of self love.   Get a copy of my book: NUDE; Saying a Beautiful Goodbye To Who You Think You Are and Stepping Into Who You Truly Are  Buy in Canada:  Amazon Chapters/Indigo Buy in USA: Amazon   Connect with me:  Follow me on IG @iamtaraportelli www.taraportelli.com

When your belief runs so deep that it pulses through your veins, it becomes infectious—and suddenly, anything feels possible. Nuttha Goutier left her family at just 15 years old to chase a dream bigger than herself. Her journey was far from easy. Alone in a foreign country, she endured countless sleepless nights, aching to return home. But when her perspective began to shift, and she embraced the deeper meaning of her experience, she was led toward the unimaginable. Traveling thousands of miles from a small village in Thailand, Nuttha arrived in North America with a message of love and community. With less than a thousand dollars in her pocket, a contagious passion, and unshakable belief, she has built an empire — one that leaves communities wondering how they ever lived without this experience. The ripple effect of her presence is immeasurable. This isn’t just a mission—it’s a legacy. One that is transforming hearts and communities. Through the lens of Sabai Thai Spa, Nuttha offers deep self-love, compassion, and a sense of connection unlike anything else.

This episode is about survival—and the unexpected redirection that sometimes comes from the universe. After a near-death accident that left me wheelchair-bound and bedridden for months, my entire life was turned upside down in a split second, on a random Tuesday morning. There I was, a miracle—surviving physical trauma that few ever come back from. Sometimes, the most difficult challenges end up transforming our lives in the most incredible ways. That car accident was a wake-up call from the universe. It showed me a truth about my life that I couldn’t unsee. At the same time my relationship was falling apart, I was forced out of my career and confined to a wheelchair. And yet, not only did I defy the odds of survival—I was led to a new path, one I never could’ve imagined. This solo episode is about those dark moments in life that ultimately guide us to our greatest gifts.

Why do we need to do inner work? How do we stop attracting the same relationship patterns? How do you navigate dark times and intense emotions? By aligning with the truth in people’s pain and dissecting behaviours and recurring patterns of the human experience, Peter Kelly brings a depth of understanding to the human journey that very few have access to. His path to becoming a realized Adept in the Western world was not for the faint of heart. A 40-year initiation into this mastery was accompanied by immense inner battles he didn’t comprehend for years. Peter shares his personal story of struggle, hardship, imprisonment and — at its height — borderline psychosis. In this powerful conversation, he illuminates what it truly means to be human and shows how to alchemize your wounds into expanded consciousness.   Connect with Peter: Peter Kelly Instagram https://peterkelly.online/   If you are enjoying this podcast, please take a moment to review/subscribe, it would mean so much to me.  Follow me  @iamtaraportelli www.taraportelli.com    

There are times in our lives when we find ourselves in a place of dis-ease, questioning the things that once felt aligned but no longer bring us that same sense of fulfillment. In this solo episode, I explore the growth we experience within ourselves, and how our life circumstances must evolve to support that growth. When we ignore this, we can end up fighting to hold onto something that’s no longer aligned—leading to months or even years of discontentment. Sometimes, we enter a chapter in between chapters, a space of stillness where we’re called to pause, reflect, and feel into what the next right step is. It’s in this stillness that we find the clarity to make choices that are truly aligned with us, lead by conscious energy- the question is are you going to listen?   Here is a free self love guided meditation program for you, a thank you for listening :) If you enjoy this podcast, please comment, rate and subscribe.

Sarah never asked for it. As a child, she was tormented by the things she could see. She tried to escape her truth, but that only led her down a dark path of addiction—one she never saw coming. Then one day, everything came to a head. She finally began to listen to the inner voice that had been trying so desperately to reach her since she was young. What followed was something she never could’ve imagined: she tapped into abilities she didn’t even know were possible. That awakening led her to an incredible path—one where she now creates miracles for others.

There’s an urgent call to action to help our First Responders, Military, and Veterans who are battling the invisible wounds of PTSD — and there is a solution. In this solo episode, I open up about the root causes of PTSD and how I discovered, first-hand, a path to healing after my own struggle as a former Paramedic. For the past seven years, I’ve been holding onto a powerful answer — one that not only transformed my life but has saved others. I share real-life cases that shook me to my core, stories of those who were on the brink and found their way back through Psilocybin Therapy. Once dismissed and wrongly classified as a Schedule I drug, this ancient medicine is now backed by groundbreaking research worldwide. The science is so compelling that Germany has recently approved psilocybin as a psychiatric treatment. This is more than promising — it’s a lifeline for the brave men and women who’ve sacrificed so much and deserve every chance to reclaim their mental health.   See Danny's Testimonial Video Here Learn More about Arcadia Healing Sanctum  Want to work with Tara - Connect with her here    

Danielle shares her riveting story of being gripped by deep depression—unable to work and struggling to function in her daily life—until she discovered Psilocybin Therapy.   She began with micro-dosing and immediately felt a shift. Then, despite all her fears and hesitation, she took a leap of faith and attended a retreat. In this episode, Danielle opens up about the darkest moments of her depression, what finally pushed her to say “yes” to healing, and how her life has completely transformed in just a year and a half. From feeling lost and defeated to becoming medication-free, Danielle’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Since her experience—with just two doses—she’s started living a life she once only dreamed of: publishing two children’s books, launching her own business, and completely reinventing herself. ❤️   Get Danielles Books here   Do you struggle with depression and feel hopeless?    HERE IS A FREE MEDITATIONS PROGRAM TO START YOUR HEALING JOURNEY: FREE MEDIATIONS   Interested in learning more about Psilocybin Retreats?  Arcadia Healing Sanctum   See Testimonials on the power of this treatment  here   If you enjoy what you are hearing, please like, subscribe and comment my podcast, it only helps me push it out to those that need it!     

We’ve been conditioned to beat ourselves up, judge ourselves, and push ourselves to the limit. “If you're not doing, you're not succeeding” — a belief system so deeply ingrained in humanity that it has us enslaved. In this constant doing, we've drifted far from our natural state. We've internalized a war with ourselves, shifting into a fear-based way of living. But what if you could see things through a new lens? What if you could recognize that you are already perfect as you are — and feel that deeply? Imagine a world where you’re no longer forcing yourself to be something you're not, and instead, simply accepting who you are. In this solo episode, we’ll explore how these automatic, often critical thoughts are really a reflection of your relationship with yourself. Most people struggle to offer themselves love and compassion. When they look in the mirror, they only see the things they want to change — instead of the living perfection they truly are. I'm here to tell you: it's time to step into your true essence — with love and compassion. I’ll guide you through this reflection using analogies inspired by Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Mastery of Love. This episode is sure to offer you a fresh perspective — both toward yourself and in your relationships with others.   Follow me on IG @iamtaraportelli www.taraportelli.com   JOIN MY COACHING COURSE Use code POD40 to get 40% off at checkout    Pain To Empowerment -  Learn to turn your darkest moments into your   greatest superpower.    If you liked this episode please subscribe, leave a comment and hit 5 stars - it would mean so much and helps us with our greater mission  

It’s not every day that you meet someone brave enough to stand against the crowd. Dr. K, head of the ICU at Ottawa Hospital, took a powerful stand during the pandemic — one that prioritized the mental health of children, even when it went against popular opinion. What followed was horrific: public shaming, intense criticism, and even threats directed at his own family. Yet, knowing in his heart that he was acting in alignment with his values — and for the greater good — he stood firm, supported by a strong and courageous community, even as his professional reputation hung in the balance. After enduring the darkest and most isolating period of his life, Dr. K rose from the ashes. He has since stepped into a vital leadership role in medicine, working closely with political decision-makers to reshape the Canadian healthcare system. His mission? To help individuals shift from prescription to prevention — a movement that’s now gaining real momentum, and earning the respect it deserves.     Follow Dr. K @Kwadcast https://drkwadwo.ca/

In this deeply personal solo episode, I open up about my own personal experience as a paramedic, while battling PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The painful reality of being met with silence, judgment, and isolation from the very community I served alongside. I share the very call that sent me into a downward spiral of the unknown, in the face of an infectious disease exposure and then the mind-blowing events that happened after the call, which only intensified my risk. This is a raw and honest look at the stigma surrounding mental health in emergency services — and why it's time we change the conversation and see the humanity within these professions. First Responders are human beings, not super humans.   Similar Episode:  Former Police Officer Suffering with PTSD - Saved By Psilocybin and Thriving 4 Years Later   Arcadia Healing Sanctum - Psilocybin Retreats (First Responder Only Options Available )  (Affiliated with the Imperial College of London - Psychedelic Research Centre)   Apply: Here   Free Consultation: Book Here  

After battling with PTSD and contemplating his own life - Danny a former police officer of 23 years,  shares how Psilocybin Therapy saved him. He saw the retreat as his “last hope”, and  what happened for him was “miraculous”. When he returned home, his family noticed his positive shift right away and he no longer suffered with the debilitating symptoms of his PTSD. Fast forward 4 years later and Danny has come back to interview with me and share that this wasn’t just a retreat, it was a life altering decision that has forever changed him. When Danny decided to try Psilocybin Therapy, he was very hesitant - like many people, he saw it as an illegal drug. He had no idea the massive impact it could have on his life, after his dark battle with PTSD. The most mind-blowing part of it all…he didn’t even have a “Trip”.  Danny is now an advocate for Psilocybin Therapy and encourages anyone who is struggling like he was to consider this therapy.   We are affiliated with the Imperial College of London - Psychedelic Research Centre   Arcadia Healing Sanctum - Retreats: Arcadia Healing Sanctum   Apply: Here   Free Consultation: Book Here

Lance grew up struggling to fit in. Bullied and isolated, he found solace and self-worth in hockey—a sport that gave him identity, purpose, and an escape. At just 11 years old, he left his home and his mother to move across the country with his father, chasing his dream on the ice. But instead of finding safety and support, he was met with the harsh reality of living under the roof of a cruel stepmother. Without a mother's nurturing presence and feeling emotionally unsafe, Lance’s anxiety took hold. As a teen, he turned to substances to numb the pain—a path that would lead him into years of darkness and self-destruction. The heartbreak didn’t stop there: Lance lost his brother to suicide and his father to a sudden heart attack. With those losses, his dreams of a professional hockey career unraveled, he was left without direction, identity, or hope. Until he made a choice to change his path. Through deep inner work, relentless determination, and the courage to face himself, Lance completely transformed his life. Today, he’s the host of a top 1% podcast, a voice in personal development, an author, speaker, and guide for others seeking meaning. Lance turned his struggle into purpose—and now helps others rise, just as he did.   Connect with Lance here:  Lance Essihos          

Have you ever heard the term “surrender to the flow”? Too often we try to control every little detail of our life, like we have the true control over the outcome, when the truth is, we don’t. Keeping yourself small, safe and within in all of the parameters you have created, is actually just fear disguised as security. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of not being enough, but what if that control was actually just holding you back?   In this solo episode,  I share through personal accounts of synchronicity and surrendering to life’s flow. When we begin to question our own limitations and start to push ourselves out of the comfort of our own box, something incredible happens; synchronicities appear, guidance shows up in expected ways and a once mundane day to day, becomes infinite and exciting. I teach you simple steps to start to break out of your own limitations.   This episode is your reminder that life is not working against you… it’s trying to align you.   Follow me on IG @iamtaraportelli www.taraportelli.com   Use code POD40 to get 40% off at checkout  21 Day Subconscious Reprogramming - Personal Recording -  Change the subconscious beliefs that keep you stuck and not in the life you want for just 30 minutes a day for 21 Days.      **If you liked this episode please subscribe, leave a comment and hit 5 stars - it would mean so much and helps us with our greater mission **

In this solo episode I share the painful story when I had to break my own heart to leave my best friend and husband, as an act of self love. In many relationship endings, they can be dramatic and there is no other option, as a result of infidelity, betrayal or a cycle of fighting that is beyond repair. In my case, I had been shrinking myself to fit this relationship and trying to keep our love alive. Until one day, someone walked into my life, that changed my lens, helping to magnify the truth of my marriage and my complacency within myself. This, forcing me into one of the most gut wrenching and difficult decisions of my life, ending my marriage after only 18 months after we said “I DO”, a 7 year partnership I couldn’t imagine living without.   Follow me on IG @iamtaraportelli www.taraportelli.com   GET MY BOOK NUDE; Saying a beautiful goodbye to who you thought you were and stepping in to who you truly are.   JOIN MY COACHING COURSE   Use code POD40 to get 40% off at checkout    Pain To Empowerment -  Learn to turn your darkest moments into your   greatest superpower.      **If you liked this episode please subscribe, leave a comment and hit 5 stars - it would mean so much and helps me with my greater mission ** 

In this solo episode, I vulnerably share my personal experience with someone I was planning a future with and how it ended in the ultimate betrayal. The truth is, my emotions, my physical body and my inner being knew he was deceitful - but I ignored it all because at that time, I lacked self worth and truly just wanted to be loved. What I learned is how to deeply love myself instead and how to recognize where I was fully abandoning myself. Life is always meeting you where you are at. If you have wounds that are around betrayal, you will invite people into your life that will betray you, without conscious awareness. However, it is actually YOU betraying YOU. Yes, our partners in relationships are literally mirrors, to the parts of ourselfs we struggle to face. They are showing us where to do the  inner work and where we need love, attention and feeling. If you have seen the Tinder Swindler…. This is a crazy story about deception, heartbreak and betrayal in its ultimate form… OF THE SELF         Follow me on IG @iamtaraportelli www.taraportelli.com   JOIN MY COACHING COURSE   Use code POD40 to get 40% off at checkout    Pain To Empowerment -  Learn to turn your darkest moments into your   greatest superpower.    If you liked this episode please subscribe, leave a comment and hit 5 stars - it would mean so much and helps us with our greater mission  

I share a personal story of deep grief and sadness when I had to leave my husband/best-friend and lost my rescue dog all in the same week. I had to learn to rebuilt what had burned down, from the ground up - starting with an empty house, an air mattress and a can of paint.   Those times in our life that we are taken to our knees, are not an accident, they are meant to force us to grow or choose a new direction. If you zoomed out of your life and you saw all of your challenges on a projector screen, you would actually see the light that was birthed from each one.   Nothing is an accident, everything is by design.   Follow me on IG @iamtaraportelli www.taraportelli.com           JOIN MY COACHING COURSE   Use code POD40 to get 40% off at checkout    Pain To Empowerment -  Learn to turn your darkest moments into your   greatest superpower.    If you liked this episode please subscribe, leave a comment and hit 5 stars - it would mean so much and helps us with our greater mission

Through the details of my date, you will see how I came to realize a pattern I had in all my relationships for my entire life. Talk about a light bulb moment!
