Rooted & Rising: Stories of Transformation, Intuition, and Soul-Led Healing
Formerly the Intuitive Mentor Mom Podcast, now Rooted & Rising is a space for those ready to stop living life on autopilot and start living it by design. Hosted by Tara Mychelle — woman, mother, entrepreneur, friend, daughter, corporate professional, and energy practitioner — this podcast is born from the roots of challenge and the rise of self-discovery. Here, we explore the truth that life isn’t happening to us, it’s happening for us. When we release the victim within, we reclaim our power as the hero of our own story. Through healing and transformation, we create an inner world so rich and aligned that our outer world naturally reflects it. With personal stories, raw reflections, and inspiring conversations, each episode invites you to deepen your roots in self-awareness, self-love, and truth — and rise into your fullest self-expression. Together, we’ll explore everything from love, relationships, and parenting to health, spirituality, and the courage it takes to live fully awake. This is your invitation to heal, transform, and create a life you love — from the inside out. Get rooted. Rise high. And live the story you were born to tell. https://www.souldspaces.com/ https://www.taramychelle.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXAqUOQmXbileD1LA-JE83Q

A sealed box can hold more than paper, it can hold years of fear, vigilance, and the version of you who survived. I found mine after thirteen years and chose a simple, sacred ritual: burn what no longer serves. As the pages curled, something else unbound, resentment, confusion, even the quiet hope that proof could keep me safe. What rose in the smoke was space: space for peace, honest love, and a life that matches who...
