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
Episodes
What happens when someone is kind, emotionally available… and still completely wrong for you?
In this episode, we’re talking about the moment everything shifts—the moment you stop feeling the pull, stop chasing, and finally see clearly.
Not because they’re toxic.
Not because they’re a narcissist.
But because you’ve outgrown the pattern.
This is what real self-worth looks like:
- recognizing trauma bonding vs. ...
If you’ve ever felt triggered by someone’s words… this episode is for you.
After being a guest on another podcast, I found myself on the receiving end of a powerful conversation—one that challenged my perspective, questioned my experiences, and forced me to pause before responding.
And what came up wasn’t just reaction… it was reflection.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
- What it actually means to be “triggered”
- The diff...

How many parts of your life are being shaped by a story that isn’t actually true?
In this deeply personal episode of Rooted & Rising, Tara Mychelle explores the invisible narratives our minds create to keep us safe — and how those same stories can quietly block the love, success, and abundance we’re meant to experience.
Through a vulnerable reflection about her relationship with her mother, Tara shares the moment ...
Your life looks strong on the outside.
Career experience. Independence. Resilience.
But underneath? Money stress. Career uncertainty. Relationship patterns that feel intense but not secure. And a quiet belief that maybe you don’t fully deserve more.
In this raw episode of Rooted & Rising, Tara Mychelle unpacks the “undeserving” wound — how childhood conditioning, scarcity mindset, and survival wiring crea...
Your nervous system is overloaded — and your body already knows it.
In this episode of Rooted & Rising, Tara Mychelle breaks down the science behind what happens when you touch a tree — and why nature regulates your nervous system in ways no app, supplement, or scrolling session can replicate.

• How touching trees lowers cortisol (your primary stress hor...
Let’s say it plainly.
The fear of being fired.
The fear of being left.
The fear of losing income.
The fear of losing love.
Different scenes.
Same root.
In this episode of Rooted & Rising, Tara calls out the quiet survival pattern driving high performers and deep feelers alike.
When fear runs the system:
• You overwork to stay valuable
• You overgive to stay chosen
• You edit your truth to...
Are you stuck in a situationship and wondering why insight hasn’t been enough to break the pattern?
In this final episode of the Situationship Series, Tara explores why understanding the cycle doesn’t always lead to change — and where rooted choice actually begins.
This episode goes beyond dating advice to uncover the deeper reasons people stay in “almost” relationships: emotional safety, pre-rejection, and the quiet ...
When Faith Becomes Waiting: Situationships, Divine Timing, and Choosing Clarity
Situationships often don’t end because something is wrong — they continue because faith quietly turns into waiting.
In this episode of Rooted & Rising, Tara explores how spiritual language like “trusting divine timing”, “surrender”, and “having faith” can unintentionally keep people stuck in unclear relationships. When clarity is avoid...

48: Situationship (Ep.3) | Why You Keep Choosing Situationships (The Hidden Payoff of “Almost Love”)
Why do we keep choosing “almost there” relationships—close, but not chosen… intimate, but not committed… full of chemistry, but low on clarity?
In Episode 3 of the Situationships series, we name the truth most of us avoid: “almost there” isn’t random — it’s strategic. Not because you’re broken, but because your nervous system learned to survive inside uncertainty.
Today we’re exposing the hidden payoff that keeps you ...
If you’ve been stuck in the space between potential and commitment, this episode is your next layer.
In Episode 2 of my “Situationships to Commitment” series, we talk about what nobody warns you about: when you start shifting into something rooted, it doesn’t always feel amazing at first. Sometimes it feels quiet. Slower. Less charged. And that can confuse your nervous system—especially if you’ve spent years equating...
Have you been stuck in “almost there” relationships—close, connected, full of chemistry… but never clear, consistent, or committed? In Episode 1 of Rooted & Rising, I talk about the pattern behind situationships and the deeper truth most people avoid: sometimes it’s not fear of being alone… it’s fear of being fully chosen.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- What “almost there” actually looks like (and why it’s not ...
In this episode of Rooted & Rising, we explore wine as medicine, story, and spirit. What if the glass you hold isn’t an escape… but a portal to presence? I’m joined by Sophia Cecilia, a wine professional and shamanic storyteller who bridges natural wine, indigenous wisdom, and ritual to help us remember the sacred inside every bottle.
We talk about wine as ceremony instead of numbing, how alcohol is highly progr...

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 w...
