Tara Karels is a Resilience & Momentum Expert, national speaker, and the founder of INSPROW — a movement born from personal tragedy and unshakable purpose.
After losing her son to suicide, Tara didn’t just survive. She rebuilt — brick by brick — and turned her pain into a platform that helps other women find their way forward.
She doesn’t coach from a pedestal. She speaks from the trenches. Her energy is raw, her presence is real, and her clients don’t stay stuck for long.
