Clarity, Courage, and the Choice to Live on Your Own Terms with Keltie Maguire

What happens when you realize the life you’ve been building doesn’t quite fit anymore?

In this powerful and honest conversation, Tara sits down with clarity coach Keltie Maguire to explore one of life’s biggest questions: Do I want children — or not? Together, they dive into the messy middle of life choices, self-awareness, and societal expectations, unpacking what it really means to live life on your own terms.

Keltie shares her personal journey from jewellery designer to clarity coach, and how she moved from ambivalence to confidence in her decision to remain child-free. She opens up about the fears, comparisons, and cultural pressures that shape our choices — and how cultivating clarity and courage can lead to deeper fulfillment, no matter what path you take.

This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads — whether you’re questioning motherhood, redefining success, or simply craving a life that feels more aligned.
