"I got introduced to Tara when I was navigating my transition to motherhood and re-defining my relationship to work. She helped me identify new possibilities where I used to see only constraints. She went at length to understand who I am and helped frame decisions in the context of my values. As a result of working with Tara, I feel more confident about my values and priorities in life, ever than before. I'm so grateful for my coaching experience with her, and looking forward to working with her again in the future."
