Story & Lesson Highlights with Tara Linda of Columbia

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Tara Linda . Check out our conversation below.

Tara, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
I awake up giving Yahweh thanks for new day Mercury and allowing his hands of protection to keep my family covered. Then I awake my children for school. Transport them to school and some days go to the gym.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am the founder of Liveagain Ministry. In which we help people of all backgrounds to connect with people to help them achieve their goals and push them towards their next. We empower them to understand they can live again after any change. I am the owner of Hope Services Notary in Columbia, S.C.. I am a two time best selling author . I was awarded the award for 2025-2026 Who’s Who in America. Along with a board member for Fullife Hope Center in Rockhill, SC . I have become an advocate for Domestic Violence. I am in Seminary School. I am still mentoring and leader in my church.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
One of the most recent memory of feeling powerful was when I walked away from a 23 year marriage where I had lost my self and I was in a stagnant position within my self and in the things I was called to do. I had to look at how my health was being affected and how I was in a relationship where we was emotionally disconnected and realized that I still had life in me and God begain to tell me to come out of the valley of dry bones .He began to birth life into me and told me I needed to Live Again in order to become who he me to be. So I got me an apartment and left everything and started over with my children in another town. And I learned how to live and regain my self esteem. How to speak life into my self and others. How to total depend on God. How to allow what others say about me and choices I make not after my destiny. And so many doors have opened for me and family until I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude.

When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I started using my pain when God position different people in my life to push me to allow my voice to be heard. They support me and connect me with others that have been in my position and encouraged me to tell my story. So making me recognize , deal with the hurt and pushed me into helping others. My story and my voice is strong and I have so much to offer to help others heal and not to be scared no matter what position they are in their career or church. Coming from the back and walking into the front has been a struggle but that was because my voice was taken . But know I enjoy hearing the sound of my voice and looking at how God is pushing me into helping others places I have never been in. Live Again is not just words but it is action.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
They would all agree that it is my children. Being a strong supporter to them in what every their dream is. encourages them to strive to learn and achieve every thing they set their mind to. Push them into new knowledge. Teaching them the truth about who God really is.. My niece and nephew along with my best friend. Never could count out my mom and husband.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I would want people to understand that I loved God . I valued family. I didn’t have hidden motives when I helped people. I wanted to push them to their potential and allow them understand that their is greater in them. My heart desire is to show love and respect. Even though I be to myself I still want what is best for others. I carry a smile and a laugh that causes others to laugh. Understanding that a smile can go a long way.
