Join Geoff Knoll on an enlightening journey with Tosombra (Tai) Kimes, a beacon of resilience and empowerment, in this riveting episode of The Way Up Podcast. Tai's life has been a testament to overcoming obstacles and finding strength in the face of adversity. Growing up in a military family, she harbored dreams of excelling in various fields - from writing to acting to teaching. However, fear crept into her aspirations, casting shadows of doubt and uncertainty.


As Tai matured, fear began to cloud her judgment, leading to imposter syndrome and bouts of self-sabotage. The weight of these struggles took its toll, eroding her confidence and causing her to lose sight of prioritizing herself. Unbeknownst to her, this neglect had far-reaching consequences, affecting not only her well-being but also that of her family.


Despite the challenges, Tai's resilience shone through. A survivor of heart attacks and sexual assault, a disabled Army veteran, a former military spouse, a dedicated caregiver, and a mom-preneur, Tai embodies the epitome of perseverance. Her journey, punctuated by trials and tribulations, has equipped her with invaluable insights and experiences.


In this episode, Tai shares the highs and lows of her life's journey. From navigating the complexities of military life to overcoming personal traumas, she provides a candid account of her struggles and triumphs. Through her storytelling, Tai imparts wisdom and inspiration, urging listeners to embrace their authenticity and pursue their dreams unapologetically.


With her diverse background and myriad roles, Tai stands as a guiding light for women seeking empowerment and fulfillment. Her story serves as a testament to the power of resilience and the transformative potential of self-belief. Join Geoff and Tai as they delve deep into the heart of adversity, emerging stronger and more empowered than ever before.


Tune in to The Way Up Podcast and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment with Tai Kimes, a true embodiment of courage, resilience, and authenticity.
