Take it Home
A cozy, candid podcast hosted by two NYC roommates with big dreams, figuring life out one honest conversation at a time. We dive into the beautiful mess of being a 20-something woman navigating life, love, career, and everything in between. Whether it's a chat about moving to a new city, dating disasters, or taking a solo trip across the world, we're here to laugh, cry, and grow right alongside you. Each episode is an invitation to a cozy night in our apartment- complete with real talk, a signature drink of the week, and a "take home" moment to leave you feeling lifted, inspired, and a little less alone. You've just found your new best friends!

Tara Willey
Tara Willey is a Brooklyn based artist and creative multi-hyphenate. Her art is largely inspired by the human experience and its communion with spirituality, nature, and whimsy. Her love of mixed media (acrylic, ink, watercolor & textiles) charmingly melds with her aim for joy, intention, and service to be at the center of her creative work. In making art, writing her blog, or performing her latest role on camera, she aims to explore life’s nuances by which a deeper, more soulful life can be known. Through humor, heartbreak, and rose colored lenses, she aims to glorify what is most precious in life- both the brutal and the beautiful.
