In this episode, Tara talks about the importance of destroying the perfect in order to get down to the details. First off, let's be honest, NOTHING IS PERFECT. And secondly, when you really get into the details you will see that there is always more. There is always another level. There is always deeper. It's time we allow the perfection to get messed up so we can build it up again. -------------------- Subscribe to my YouTube Channel to become a Tarabyte! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6ZUvKkpzxy10Vz89nEE6FQ Instagram: @tarasimonstudios Facebook: @tarasimonstudios Try a FREE 3-Day Trial of one of my signature courses: 8 week singing course Sing Smarter Not Harder: https://tarasimonstudios.com/SSNHD 4 week singing course Riffs And Runs: https://tarasimonstudios.com/rryr Free Vocal Assessment with a TSS vocal coach! https://tarasimonstudios.com/assessme...

In this episode, Tara discusses the importance of knowing your identity. She shares some insight she has learned from a recent health issue where she was forced to rest and not create content.

In this episode, Tara talks about the importance of being where you are called to be. Often times we make decisions based off of what "makes sense" or what is comfortable. But, we will only thrive when we are doing what God has set up for us to do. The path that seems right, isn't always the path for you. You can't afford to settle. Don't let your experiences or circumstances put a limit on what you can accomplish. God knows your strengths and your weaknesses and He has a plan that will line you up with your destiny. -------------------- Subscribe to my YouTube Channel to become a Tarabyte! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6ZUvKkpzxy10Vz89nEE6FQ Can you put the icons somewhere at the bottom of the show notes?

It's not even about trying to eliminate it. It's about properly stewarding it. Keep the main thing the main thing.
