Raised in a traditional household, she followed the path many in her family had taken—an arranged marriage. Her sister had one, her parents had one, and in 2008, it seemed natural for Tara to do the same. But despite the best intentions, the marriage didn’t work out. While that might have felt like a failure at the time, it turned out to be a turning point. Sometimes, the things that don’t work out are exactly what we need to guide us toward what will work.
Like many professionals, Tara threw herself into her career after the divorce. As an attorney in Chicago, she was thriving. But success at work couldn’t fill the void in her personal life. She wanted a love that wasn’t built on tradition or obligation, but on genuine connection, respect, and excitement. That’s when Tara found Smart Dating Academy. She realized she didn’t need to navigate this journey alone—sometimes, we all need a little guidance to help us course-correct.
Working with Smart Dating Academy was a game-changer for Tara. The coaching didn’t just help her with the practical aspects of dating, like where to meet people or what to say. It went deeper.
