Hi Reader,

For years, many of you have followed me because of brand strategy, confidence, speaking, business growth, and personal development. Those topics matter deeply to me. But lately something deeper has been weighing heavily on my heart.

I can’t just help people build their businesses.

I feel called to also speak about something far more important: our souls.

Because success, influence, money, recognition; none of it compares to what is eternal.

And right now, the world feels heavy.

Everywhere we look we hear about wars and rumors of wars, corruption being exposed, exploitation of the vulnerable, and systems that once felt stable now shaking. It is easy to get distracted, overwhelmed, or even cynical about it all.

But in the middle of all of this chaos, there is a truth that remains unchanged:

There is a God who loves you beyond measure.

And you are not too far gone.
You are not forgotten.
And it is not too late.

I know this because of my own story.

When I was 21 years old, I walked away from the religion I had been raised in. In doing so, I left behind everything I had ever known; my community, my structure, my friends, some members of my own family, and my identity.

For a long time after that, I didn’t even care if God existed or not.

I was busy trying to figure life out on my own terms.

But if I’m honest, I also felt lost and purposeless.

There was a quiet emptiness that success, achievement, and "self-help" alone could not fill.

And yet something incredible happened.

God met me exactly where I was.

Not when I had everything figured out.
Not when I was perfect.

He met me in the middle of my confusion and He didn’t give up on me.

Scripture says that a shepherd will leave the ninety-nine sheep to go after the one that is lost. For a long time, I was that one.

And maybe someone reading this email today feels like that too.

If that’s you, I want you to know something important:

God is not waiting for you to clean up your life before you come to Him.

He is waiting with outstretched arms right now.

Not with condemnation.
Not with shame.

But with love. ❤️

A love deeper and more meaningful than anything this world can offer.

My heart in sharing this isn’t to preach at anyone or force a belief. It is simply to speak honestly about what I believe matters most.

I care about helping people grow their confidence, step into their calling, and create impact in the world.

But even more than that…

I care about people knowing the love of God.

Because that relationship transforms everything.

It transforms how you see yourself.
How you forgive.
How you endure hardship.
How you lead.
How you love.

And if even one person reads this today and opens their heart just a little more to God… then sharing this message will have been worth it.

So if this message resonates with you, I encourage you to do something simple today.

Pause.

Open your heart.

And talk to God honestly, exactly where you are.

You don’t need the perfect words.

Just start the conversation.

Because the truth is…

He’s already been pursuing you. 💯

I realize this message may cause some people to unsubscribe from my content and that’s okay. But if even one person reading this opens their heart to God today, it will have been worth it.

PS. If this message resonated with you and you’re searching for deeper purpose, healing, or a closer relationship with God, know that you don’t have to walk that path alone. My door is open. I would be honored to help you in your faith journey.

With Gratitude,
Tara LaFon Gooch

My TEDx Talk on Forgiveness

Hi Reader, Let me ask you something… Have you ever noticed how the stories we tell ourselves quietly shape how we show up in the world? For years, I carried a story. A story of pain… of disconnection… of things that were never resolved. And without realizing it, that story was influencing my confidence, my voice, and even the level of success I allowed myself to step into. Because what we don’t release… we rehearse. And what we rehearse… becomes who we are. It wasn’t until I consciously chose...

Hi Reader, I remember the day I walked away from everything. The company car.The laptop.The cell phone.The health insurance and salary. Gone. 🤯 I didn’t have a backup plan.I didn’t have a clear roadmap.I just had this deep, undeniable feeling… There had to be more. What surprised me the most wasn’t the uncertainty. It was the lack of support. On my last day, my boss told me: “You’ll never make the kind of money on your own.” And for a while… he was right. My first year in business was hard. I...

Hi Reader, After the last email I sent, I expected some to unsubscribe. Instead, something incredible happened. I had the highest reply rate ever. Many of you wrote back sharing pieces of your own story. Others sent encouragement and support. A few even asked how they could help and generously made introductions. That meant more to me than you probably realize. Thank you. 🙏 Your responses confirmed something I’ve been sensing deeply: people are searching right now... for truth, for purpose,...
