Tara McCallam

I felt like a failure

so when a friend said to me I would never walk away into my calling, it felt like a gut punch, one that really was a smack that woke me up

I realized she was right.

I had talked about walking away and doing my own business for over 2 years

I had even attempted to build it up over the past 5 years, but being a mom and a full-time manager made it nearly impossible

I tried to be grateful and happy and pour myself into my position, after all I was able to hire everyone I worked with and so I was surrounded by excellent people

but I was still dissatisfied

I still felt an aching inside for something more

I couldn't fake it anymore

and I was starting to feel frustrated in a way that wouldn't leave me alone

I found myself telling my clients (the ones I worked with in the pockets of my time) that they could do anything

and I was telling my kids to dream and that they could achieve anything

I was talking about the Universe and the doorways of possibility

but I was a fraud

I said one thing to my clients and children and hid in safety - I was a living lie
