Motherhood has a profound way of forcing us to face our demons… even ones we didn’t realise we had buried inside.
In this episode of How Motherhood Changed Me, we chat with former reality TV star, author and content creator Tara Pavlovic-Shepherdson whose life has transformed since becoming a mum of two.
She tells us about the “woo-woo” therapy that’s helped heal forgotten childhood wounds, how prioritising exercise and improving her diet has made her a better mum, and how proud she is of the way she’s raising her babies with husband Nick.
There’s a reason we fell in love with her on The Bachelor; this mumma always keeps it real!

His daughter Nova was born last year, and Logan joins us for this episode of How Motherhood Changed Me, to chat about it all. It’s a vulnerable and surprising conversation, that is sure to remind you that we may be diverse but we are not so different.
