Rooted & Rising: Stories of Transformation, Intuition, and Soul-Led Healing
Formerly Intuitive Mentor Mom, 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.

35: Rooted and Rising: Choosing Truth & Rising To Who You Are
We're rebranding from Intuitive Mentor Mom to Rooted in Rising, reflecting a deeper expression of my truth and what I'm here to share. This podcast explores what it means to live with intention, love with depth, and trust that even the hard things in life are shaping us for the better.
• The name Rooted in Rising reflects my belief that when we root deeply into our truth, we rise into our fullest expression
• This podcast will feature both personal stories and conversations with inspiring guests
• We'll explore topics including relationships, sex, parenting, health, spirituality, and politics
• I'm introducing "Root and Rise Check-ins" - two reflective questions to track your growth
• The first question asks "Where did I stay true to myself?" (your root question)
• The second asks "When did I step into a bigger, bolder version of me?" (your rise question)
• Our next episode will focus on the power of conscious choice versus reaction
Make sure you subscribe to Rooted and Rising wherever you listen to podcasts so you never miss an episode, and please share a "rooted moment" in the comments so I can celebrate with you.

In this episode. Stay tuned because we're going to talk about the rebranding of this show. We're no longer Intuitive Mentor Mom, we are now Rooted in Rising. And here we go. Welcome to Rooted in Rising. I'm your host, tara Michelle, intuitive guide, storyteller and fellow traveler on this wild path of becoming. This is a space for the soul-led, for the ones unraveling old stories, tending to their healing and rising, not perfectly but powerfully, into who they are here to be. Here we explore what it means to live with intention, to love with depth and to trust that even the hard things are shaping us. I'll share pieces of my own journey the cracks, the beauty, the breakthroughs and invite voices who are walking this path too the breakthroughs and invite voices who are walking this path too, because I believe life isn't happening to us, it's happening for us. So come as you are, root in and rise up and thank you truly. Thank you for being here. Welcome to Rooted in Rising, formerly known as the Intuitive Mentor Mom Podcast. I'm really excited because we are giving ourselves an upgrade, a shift in name, a shift in energy and a shift into a deeper expression of who I truly am and what I'm here to share. So I'm super excited to be with all of you today.
Speaker 1:This is a quick, short episode just really introducing where we're headed and what we're doing. And to those of you who have been with me from the beginning, I first want to say thank you. I started this show a little over a year ago and your support, your messages, your comments, calls that I've had with people I just want to say thank you, thank you for your presence. It has meant more to me than you can ever imagine and more than I can ever put into words. So thank you, and for those of you who are brand new to the show, welcome. I'm so glad you have found the space, I'm glad to have you with us and I'm really glad that you're going to join us as we grow this community of Rooted and Rising.
Speaker 1:So my name is Tara Michelle. I am the host of this show. First and foremost, I am a woman all woman, that's right and a mom. I'm an entrepreneur, a friend, a daughter. I'm a corporate professional, but I'm also an energy practitioner and, more importantly, more than all of that, I'm a work in progress, just like the rest of us on this planet. So Rooted and Rising was really born out of my own evolution, the roots I've grown through life's challenges and the rise that comes from owning your own truth, like really rooting deep into your own truth. I've walked through many moments that have shook the ground beneath me many but moments where I've also had to look and really choose will I let this break me or will I let it grow me? And every single time when I've chosen to root deeper into who I am and into my truth, something beautiful has unfolded. So this podcast really is a reflection of that journey.
Speaker 1:Some weeks you're going to hear from me. I'll share personal stories, raw, unfiltered, the real truth, the real me. And other weeks I'm going to sit down with guests. Some will be my friends, some are entrepreneurs or creatives, like people that I feel are inspiring and really up to some really cool things in this world, and I'll be sharing them too.
Speaker 1:So we talk about everything from love, sex relationships, parenting, health, spirituality and, yes, politics. Maybe we'll also be talking politics, because life isn't one dimensional and every piece of it offers us a chance to root deeper and rise higher, and that's really what I'm committed to. So I believe with all my heart that life isn't happening to us. It's not. I absolutely believe that is happening for us, and every single moment we get to choose. We get to choose who we will be in that very right now moment, how we will show up for ourselves, how we will show up for others. That's really how I see this life is, and so my hope is that this podcast becomes a place where you're reminded of your own truth, where you feel inspired, where you feel motivated and activated to live your fullest self-expression. So I do want to start off with something simple, something that you can take away this week, because what we're going to start doing is we're going to start doing some root and rise check-ins.
Speaker 1:Okay, no-transcript. Where did I stay true to myself? That's your number one question. That's your root question. Where did I stay true to myself? Write that down and write your answer down. Open up a journal and do it. Okay. Next question, which is your rise question when did I step into a bigger, bolder version of me? Where did I step into that? Where? And write that down and when you write these down, I think you're really going to be amazed at how quickly you start to see and notice your own growth, because so often we focus on what we don't have, what we haven't done, where we're not at, and we forget to stop and reflect on what are the things I really did change or transform today? Where did I step into my fullness? Where did I truly grow? And as you begin to focus and turn that needle, that direction, I think you're going to see some huge shifts.
Speaker 1:So, in the next two weeks, this episode, or the new episode, will come out, because, as those of you who have been with me you know, we post every other week. Those of you who are new, we post every other week. Every other Sunday at 7am, you'll get a new episode. The next episode, we will be focusing on the power of choice and why that's so important, how to notice when we're reacting versus consciously choosing, and that's really important because you really want to understand, you know, am I just reacting to my situation? Am I reacting to my circumstance, or am I consciously looking at this and utilizing this opportunity as life is happening for me, and then powerfully choosing? So we're going to look at that and we're going to explore all of that, and I'm also going to leave you with some practical tips then too. So join us in two weeks. I'm going to be looking forward to being with all of you again, and if today's message spoke to you, I'd love for you to join me on this journey.
