There is no question that these are turbulent and daunting times. Writing is one of the ways we can ground ourselves, process what we’re feeling and thinking, and make a positive impact on others. A few years ago, I wrote and shared 10 of My Convictions About Writing. Here they are, with some updates. 1. What defines us as writers...| TARA MOHR
So here we are, in 2025. So much is unfolding with speed and fury in our collective milieu, from climate disasters, to accelerating technological change, to rising authoritarianism around the globe. It is not for the faint of heart. Certainly in these times, my team and I are feeling, in a new way, the profound need to support women in...| TARA MOHR
We all get a lot of feedback. There are the more obvious forms of feedback – a client’s feedback about a session, a performance review with your boss at work, some honest and tough feedback from a teenager in your life, and so on. Then there are the more subtle forms of feedback. Posting something on social media about a...| TARA MOHR
These are the real words of women, sharing what their inner critics say, sharing the kinds of self-diminishing thoughts they live with, day in and day out. (And we all know their lives are hard and demanding enough without an added dose of self-criticism.) When I teach a Quieting the Inner Critic workshop, I begin by asking the participants to...| TARA MOHR
It was a particular joy to get to be a guest on one of my favorite podcasts, Pulling the Thread with Elise Loehnen. Honestly it felt like a bit of a dream to be a part of it! Ask my husband and kids – I was nervous! If you enjoy my work, I think you’ll love Elise’s work too. In a...| TARA MOHR
A few months ago, I was listening to a podcast, a conversation between a physician author and another writer who’d just published a book about creating a meaningful, purposeful life. This physician author is a big name these days – he’s by all traditional, professional measures wildly successful, with a whole host of accomplishments and even some fame. Yet, as...| TARA MOHR
There’s a word that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: longing. I think it’s an incredibly important word, one that we don’t use or talk about enough. Longing is, according to one official definition, a prolonged unfulfilled desire. Do you know any humans that live without prolonged unfulfilled desires? I do not. Longing for more success, longing for a...| TARA MOHR
Since the early days of my work over ten years ago, I’ve generally been an advocate of us all doing less giving advice and less asking for advice. Women—as well as others in our society with less power because of some aspect of their identity—are ceaselessly given advice by our family members, friends, by the culture, the experts. Far less frequently...| TARA MOHR
There’s an ancient rabbinic commentary that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Two rabbis, great sages, are arguing about how one should comfort a friend in distress. One rabbi argues that a person should simply be with the friend in their distress, listening to them, letting them cry, not trying to change a thing. The other rabbi says, in...| TARA MOHR
Recently in our Playing Big Facilitators Training course, we had our class about powerful and effective negotiation. We got into an interesting discussion about different aspects of communication skills and I wanted to share some of that with you. All of us need these three kinds of communication in our toolkits – certainly for our Playing Big, but also for...| TARA MOHR
Lately, I’ve been hearing from many women about a certain kind of feeling, a certain set of thoughts – “I want to do x, but will I really be able to make money at it?” or “I love my business/side hustle/passion project doing x, but the next big step for me is to see – can I bring in significant...| TARA MOHR

Recently I was thinking about questions we can ask ourselves when we are in a difficult situation, or when we’re going through a difficult time. After all these years of journaling, and of working in a coaching approach, I am a big fan of paying serious attention to what questions we are asking each other and ourselves. Our questions determine...| TARA MOHR
