When your heart breaks open — literally or metaphorically — everything you thought you knew about strength, identity, and purpose gets rewritten.

In this week’s episode of Unshakeable Belief, I sat down with Tara Benoit, bestselling author of Torn Heart, keynote speaker, and survivor of a rare heart attack known as SCAD. Her story is one of radical faith, deep resilience, and rebuilding life after the unthinkable.

Tara’s journey reminds us that even in the moments that threaten to take us out, purpose is still pulsing underneath the pain — waiting for us to rise again.

🕊 When the Body Speaks — and You Finally Listen

Tara shares how years of stress, achievement, and ignoring her body’s whispers led to the moment her heart gave out. What looked like an ending became the beginning of a completely new chapter — one rooted in alignment, stillness, and surrender.

Together, we talk about how trauma manifests physically, why our bodies carry what our minds suppress, and how slowing down long enough to listen can become the very thing that saves us.

For every woman who has pushed past exhaustion in the name of “doing it all,” this episode is your invitation to breathe again, rest again, and believe that your body isn’t broken — it’s begging to be healed.

💫 Healing the Heart and Finding Purpose Again

Tara’s recovery became a sacred process of rediscovering herself — body, mind, and spirit. Through faith, movement, and reflection, she created The MOVE Method to help others rebuild after trauma.

Her message echoes deeply within our Unshakeable Belief community: you are not beyond repair. Whether your healing journey starts with the body, your mindset, or your faith, restoration begins the moment you choose to believe you were made for more.

“When your heart breaks open, it doesn’t mean you’re finished — it means something new is being born.” — Tara Benoit
