Calm & Confidence
“I was lacking confidence, anxious, and struggling even with basic decisions. Taran mapped out a plan that fits my needs. I’m calmer, hardly anxious at all now, and much more confident… Family members noticed the change and said, ‘Have you won the lottery?’ Yes — her name is Taran.”
Gentle Growth
“I awakened parts of myself that had been dormant. Taran gently challenged me in a way that helped me grow… On strong days we leaned in; on vulnerable days she adapted gently.”
Confident Daily Living
“With anxiety and depression I found it impossible to do small everyday tasks — now I’m more confident and able to do those things without panicking. Having that safe space and practical tools has made an incredible difference.”
Clarity & Purpose
“Taran has a natural ability to help you discover what you truly want and supports you in achieving it. The guided meditations were incredibly effective.”
Workplace Self-Belief

Joyful Becoming
“Taran’s ability to coach you into being the person you are meant to be is incredible — happy, confident, joyful. I only wish I had encountered her earlier.”

Why I do this work
My mission is to create a global movement of emotional freedom and transformation, empowering people from all walks of life to break free from limitation, anxiety, self-doubt, and past conditioning—so they can step fully into their power, authenticity, and purpose.
In 2006, I was told I would never work again and would need to take medication for the rest of my life. I refused to accept that as truth. Instead, I began a journey of deep emotional healing, nervous system recovery, and self-discovery that changed everything. That decision led me to work within the NHS mental health system, where I witnessed firsthand how many people feel numb, anxious, overwhelmed, and trapped by emotional pain—often being told they’ll never recover.
Through that experience, I realised that what an “expert” tells you does not define your future—and that healing is always possible when you understand how your emotions, body, and mind truly work together.
Animals and nature played a profound role in my recovery. They grounded me when I felt lost and reminded me of calm, connection, and unconditional love. Because of that, I am committed to giving 25% of my annual earnings to grassroots animal and nature projects—small, heart-led initiatives around the world where people are truly protecting, restoring, and nurturing life. It’s my way of giving back to the living world that has given me so much strength.
I believe mental health exists on a spectrum, and no matter where someone begins—whether you can’t sleep properly, feel anxious all the time, can’t stop overthinking, or feel overwhelmed with life—you have the innate capacity to heal, grow, and thrive.
My work bridges science and spirituality, combining the neuroscience of emotions, emotional regulation techniques, and trauma-informed coaching with universal principles of alignment and energy. I teach practical, science-backed ways to calm the nervous system, release emotional pain, and rebuild confidence from the inside out.
This is not just about coping—it’s about transformation. It’s about learning to regulate your emotions, reset your energy, and master your mindset so you can stop people-pleasing, end emotional burnout, and step into emotional mastery.
My mission is to help people move from survival to sovereignty—to feel safe, grounded, and live as the amazing person they truly are.
The life you want is waiting for you. Be the person you were born to be.

Who is this for?
It’s for anyone feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, low confidence, disassociated, or just not feeling like they are their best self. If you’re ready to feel better, think clearer, and take back your emotional steadiness—this is for you.
Who is the Coach?
I’m Taran Spero—a professional coach with over 5,000 hours of experience, and a lived experience practitioner who spent 10+ years working inside the NHS. I developed this programme within the NHS and have refined it to bring out to the public.
How long does it take to complete?
The core programme runs over 4 weeks with 1–2 hours of content each week. It’s fully self-paced, and you’ll have lifetime access to revisit the materials any time. Ideally, you need to spend 30 mins per day on the practices.
What results can I expect?
Most people feel a shift by week 2—more awareness, less reactivity, and a clearer sense of what’s going on inside. By the end of the programme, you’ll have a full emotional toolkit and a completely new relationship with your feelings.
What kind of support do I get?
You’ll get clear guidance in each module, plus access to the Skool community space for support and connection. If you choose the coaching tier, you’ll also get direct weekly support from me in the live group sessions.
You’ll get 4 x 1 weekly modules, each with short videos, body-based practices, emotional tools, workbooks, and guided exercises—plus weekly group coaching sessions on Zoom if you join the supported tier.
What if I’ve already done therapy or other courses?
Brilliant. This works beautifully alongside therapy or previous personal development work. It’s practical and hands-on—giving you tools to apply day-to-day, not just insights to think about.
What’s the weekly coaching like?
Each week, we meet live on Zoom for a small group coaching session. You can bring questions, get direct support, or just show up and listen. You don’t need to share if you don’t want to—come as you are.
Where is it hosted?
Everything is hosted on a private, easy-to-use community platform called Skool. You’ll get immediate access to all modules, reminders via email, and everything is in one place—no tech headaches.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to join?
Not at all. Skool is simple and works on desktop or phone. You’ll get clear instructions, support if needed, and weekly emails to keep you on track.

My Story: From Surviving to Thriving
Taran’s story is central to the work—tap to read the full journey.
I grew up facing childhood trauma, mental health challenges, and periods of deep emotional pain. There were times I felt numb, anxious, and overwhelmed with life—constantly wondering “why do I feel so sad?” or “how do I stop overthinking?”
I overcame an abusive relationship and addiction, but through it all, I kept dancing to my own drum—refusing to let others define who I was or who I could become.
The Turning PointAfter ten years working as a model, I was told I would never work again and would need to take medication for the rest of my life. Hearing that was devastating—it felt like my world collapsed overnight.
But that moment of despair became the start of my emotional healing journey. I refused to accept a life defined by labels or limitation. I began studying emotional regulation techniques, exploring the mind–body connection, and learning how to calm my nervous system. That choice changed everything.
Recovery & StudyI channelled my pain into purpose. Determined to understand the science of emotions, I enrolled in a psychology degree and a counselling course, where I learned how the brain, emotions, and nervous system work together. I applied every insight to my own recovery—learning how to manage stress and anxiety, reset my nervous system, and regain confidence.
At the same time, I volunteered on a suicide crisis line, where I discovered the profound healing power of presence, empathy, and human connection.
Service & LeadershipMy journey led me into a deeply fulfilling career within the NHS mental health system, where I worked with service users, staff, and leaders to create meaningful, lasting change.
I saw people who felt trapped in overthinking, angry all the time, or emotionally exhausted, being told they’d “never recover.” But I knew that wasn’t true. They weren’t broken—they just lacked the emotional mastery tools and self-regulation techniques they needed to heal.
That realisation became the foundation of my life’s work: helping others move from survival to sovereignty—from emotional pain to emotional freedom.
