What happens when your personal story becomes the heartbeat of your business? In this episode, Beverly chats with Tara Jenkins, board-certified music therapist and founder of Harmony in Dementia, about building a business that’s as healing for the entrepreneur as it is for the clients they serve. From the power of music in dementia care to managing chronic health challenges while running a solo practice, Tara’s story is an inspiring look at how to lead with passion, adaptability, and purpose, especially when life gets messy.
Three Key Topics Discussed:
- The Healing Power of Music in Dementia Care: Tara explains how music bypasses damaged neural pathways and fosters connection for those living with dementia, often unlocking emotional responses and memories when words no longer work.
- Building a Purpose-Led Business in the Messy Middle: From a toxic workplace to starting her own practice, Tara shares how personal challenges shaped her entrepreneurial path and gave her the clarity to serve others with intention.
- How Transparency and Boundaries Fuel Confidence: We discuss what it really looks like to manage chronic health issues as a solo entrepreneur and how being honest with clients builds deeper trust and sustainability.
