Ep 6: Awakening Your Alter Ego with Tara Romano
Hello, World!
Shownotes
Tara is one of those people who has the type of energy you can’t get enough of. She’s real, raw, and undeniably relatable. She also happens to be a self made success story.
Tara’s a women’s empowerment advocate, and she uses dance as her main medium to get women to channel their fearless “alter ego” and learn to love every part of their perfectly imperfect selves. She also has a wildly successful YouTube channel and network marketing business.
We talk about the power of movement, how to overcome the tendency to self-sabotage, what it takes to craft a brand that’s both real and empowering, how all of our fears are universal, her personal practice of intention, and what happens when your favorite form of “play” becomes your profession.
#PurposePlays from the episode:
Tap into your “alter ego”. Imagine your best self: What are you wearing? How are you standing? Where are you going? How are you feeling? Now give that person a name and try to embody him or her more frequently. Start by practicing this in everyday situations (like doing groceries or walking to work) and before you know it, you will start to tap into your alter ego with more and more ease.
Choose a word for the year. Select one word you want to embody for the next 12 months (you can also do this for shorter periods of time if you prefer). It should reflect how you want to approach everything in your life: your career, you relationships, your finances, your health, etc. Journal about how you are going to live out this word and remind yourself of it frequently, especially when opportunities arise or decisions need to be made.
