Author, Content Creator & Digital Marketing Expert
Hey, there!
I'm Tara McKenna
If you're new around here, let me introduce myself.
A few years back I started a blog called The Zero Waste Collective. Across social media, I grew my community to over 450K. I also grew an email list with thousands of subscribers, worked with 100+ brands on paid collaborations, and gained some celebrity followers and shout-outs along the way. ZWC became expansive and global!
Plus I wrote a book, Don't Be Trashy: A Practical Guide to Living with Less Waste and More Joy, published by Penguin Random House. I've had extensive media coverage and interviews, as well as numerous public speaking events.
Now I've pivoted - ZWC is retired - and I'm focused on inspiring decluttering and self-care in a way that empowers people to live their best and most authentic lives -- by letting go of everything else that doesn't fit their vision. You can find my new account on Instagram at @mindfully_tara.
Additionally, I share all of my digital marketing secrets with my clients. I empower small business owners and entrepreneurs to take their brands to the next level with the best and most current digital marketing strategies to: give their brand a glow up, find their brand voice, monetize their expertise, grow on Instagram with compelling content and chatbot automation, build their email list full of ideal clients, design websites and landing pages that attract and convert, and create a community they love.
