I love solving problems with technology. Working across the whole spectrum of the M365 product suite, SharePoint, Teams, and the Power Platform apps are the main topics of my day job. Charts and data visualisation with Excel and Power BI are my favourite topics, but I also like a good dig around data with Power Query and DAX. I've been working with SharePoint for over 15 years, building sites, process automation and online integrations. After hours I spend a lot of time in online forums for Excel with the web alias "teylyn". As an end user, I prefer solutions that use the built-in functionality and as little custom code as possible. I've been a Microsoft MVP since 2012.

Hey, I’m Tara 👋🏼 I’m a writer, speaker, and entrepreneur obsessed with overcoming suffering – and teaching others how to do the same. Right now, that looks like supporting the 500+ women inside my Facebook group The Midlife Reset: Women in Their 30s and 40s Figuring It Out, and showing up honestly across my social media.

I believe in transparency, vulnerability, and letting my people see where I really am in life. I really really love when someone stops me out in the wild and says, “Your posts make me feel normal. Less alone.” Man, I love that.

I’ve lived a thousand lives in one body – addiction, anxiety, near suicide (twice), physical trauma, divorce, burnout, rock bottom… and somehow, I always find my way back to joy. Not because I’m some “positive vibes only” chick (I am The Recovering Asshole, after all), but because I believe in turning pain into power. I’m obsessed with disconnecting from the voice in my head and taking back control from the mental illnesses that used to run my life.

These days, I split my time between coaching, creating digital products, running a Disney travel brand, my 9-5, being a mom and wife, and speaking about healing, self-trust, and how to get unstuck – without burning your whole life down (unless you want to) inside of my workshops.

Time with my family, sharing my story, moving towards success and helping women finally feel like they’re not broken are the things that really light me up. And maybe a little magic and day drinking at Disney.

I’m just happy to be here – because I almost wasn’t
