I’m so happy to have you here!

My name is Tara. I live in Noosa, Queensland, Australia (seriously paradise) and I am a mother, primary school teacher, writer and blogger.

My life in the last five years has been eventful, to say the least. To give just a snapshot of this period: two young children, then pre-school aged; ill health episode which led me to heal myself through diet; mental health issues were a part of both mine and family members’ lives; career identity crisis leading to desire for career change and a new professional identity; brain tumour and brain injury affected our family; subsequent separation and divorce; navigating my new single parenthood, custody and all that entails and…. starting my life again truly (and scarily) with a blank state.

Nothing behind me and not knowing what was in front of me.

Through all of this I cultivated these tiny golden threads of passion inside of me:

• To transform children’s lunchboxes across Australia (a big, huge goal but one that I am SO passionate about!)
• To support women in the many stages of their lives, particularly the stage after they have children. Career change and loss of identity post-parenthood, separation and divorce, navigating single parenthood, experiencing domestic violence and financial hardship are unfortunately common experiences for many women in our society.

I’d love you to sign up to receive the mixed-bag of lunchbox tips, life musings, the odd humour, recipes and parenting ideas that I send out from time to time. It’s not too often and I PROMISE, hand-on-heart, not to flood your inboxes!

I’m here for you- if you want to chat or ask me any questions, please get in touch at hello@taraprana.com. I’d just love to hear from you!
