© 2026 Rooted & Rising: Stories of Transformation, Intuition, and Soul-Led Healing
Description
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.

Send us Fan Mail 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.

Send us Fan Mail How many parts of your life are being shaped by a story that isn’t actually true?

Send us Fan Mail 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 create cycles of earning and losing, loving and almost, expanding and co...
Send us Fan Mail 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. This is not spiritual fluff. This is physiology. You’ll learn: • How touching trees lowers cortisol (your primary stress hormone) • What forest bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) does to heart ...
Send us Fan Mail 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 stay secure • You live bracing for loss It looks like responsibility. It feels like ...
Send us Fan Mail 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 hope that clarity will come later. You’ll learn why situati...
Send us Fan Mail 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 avoided in the name of patience, situationships thrive — not bec...
Send us Fan Mail Have you ever told yourself “I’m not getting my hopes up,” “I’m just going with the flow,” or “If it’s meant to be, it will be”? In this episode of Rooted & Rising, Tara Mychelle names the quiet sabotage pattern that keeps so many people stuck in situationships: pre-rejection—rejecting yourself before anyone else can. You’ll learn what “expecting the no” sounds like, how it shows up (softening your needs, reading silence as rejection, staying guarded when things are good,...
Send us Fan Mail 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 in limbo: the way ambiguity can protect you from rejection,...
Send us Fan Mail 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 activation with connection. We’re naming the nervous system...
Send us Fan Mail 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 neutral)The difference between connection and commitmentHow amb...
Send us Fan Mail 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 programmable with intention and prayer, and why so much mass...

Send us Fan Mail 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 I’ve become. We walk through that moment with care, unpac...
