Tara dives into the art of saying “no” and trusting your gut, sharing her personal approach to making decisions on her own timeline—whether it’s career milestones, freezing her eggs, or navigating family pressures about starting a family.
Tara recounts hilarious and touching moments, like how her husband won her over early on with a Mother’s Day card for her frozen eggs. She also gets real about the challenges of growing up in a divorced household and how it shaped her perspective on stability, marriage, and parenthood. Whether it’s her reflections on overcoming people-pleasing tendencies or her signature comedic takes on topics like fertility, procrastination, and societal expectations, this episode is equal parts relatable and laugh-out-loud funny.
On top of that, Tara announces her Bronx Barbie Comedy Tour, starting January 9th in Charlotte, NC, with stops in Niagara Falls, DC, Jersey, Poughkeepsie, San Diego, Chandler, AZ, and more. Don’t miss her insights on balancing life, comedy, and staying true to yourself—plus, a few teasers for what’s to come on this exciting tour.
