About

Welcome. If you’re new here, I’m glad you found your way.

​

I’m Tara McKenna. A few years back, I built a sustainable lifestyle platform that grew far beyond what I ever imagined. What began as a personal project evolved into a widely read brand, opening the door to a published book, brand collaborations, media features, and conversations around the world.

 

It was creative, fast paced, and expansive, and for a long time, it was exactly where I was meant to be. I was deeply motivated by the idea of being a changemaker and inspiring others to live more lightly on our planet.

As life unfolded, things began to shift. Motherhood, personal growth, and the reality of juggling many priorities brought a new awareness.

 

Even a life built around strong values can begin to feel full in ways that are hard to enjoy. You might recognize that feeling. I found myself craving more calm, more beauty, and more ease, not as an escape from ambition, but as a way to sustain it through a new season of life.

 

In 2023, I stepped away from that chapter to create space to reflect on what I wanted to build next and how I wanted life to look and feel day to day.

That reflection became the foundation for The Tara Edit.

 

A return to the lifestyle space rooted in the belief that you don’t have to choose between a calm, beautiful life and meaningful ambition. I value intention, beauty, and thoughtful routines that make life feel lighter, more manageable, and more enjoyable.

If you feel like you’re juggling a lot and quietly waiting for a ball to drop, yet still want to live a full, meaningful life, I get it. That’s what The Tara Edit is for.

 

With inspiration across home, lifestyle, style, beauty, food, and wellness, I created The Tara Edit to help you curate a life you love, grounded in progress over perfection. If you’re craving more breathing room, with space for creativity, ambition, and bringing your dreams to life, you’re in the right place.
