Be Who You Came to Be with Tara Renze | School of Weird Podcast w/Host Frankie Russo

What if the first step isn’t “be happy”… it’s “get honest about what actually fulfills you”? In this School of Weird episode, Frankie sits down with bestselling author and keynote speaker Tara Renze (“Be Who You Came To Be”) to unpack authenticity, emotional intelligence, and the tiny (but loud) permissions that change a life. Tara shares the origin of her mantra from a letter her grandmother wrote (“Be who you came to be. Love will guide you.”), why most of us start hiding behind masks, and how she manifested a childhood dream landing on $100,000 Pyramid and rebounding to win $112,000 after a hilariously human flub.

You’ll learn:

• How to trade “be happy” for pursue what’s fulfilling, and why that unlocks energy at work and at home

• A simple exercise to reconnect with your 5–7 year-old self (the kid who still believed anything was possible)

• The link between loving your weird and emotional intelligence (self-regard, empathy, impulse control)

• Why no one is coming and how to give yourself permission first, then pass it on

• A practical first step you can take today to start being who you came to be
