Renee Tarantowski

Renee Tarantowski is an American-born author, essayist, and researcher. She lives a simple, sacred, soulful life writing from the heart on current topics: mindfulness, parenting, relationships, creativity, menopause, and womanhood.

"I spill my life onto the page and try to make sense of it all. Some days are easy, some days are hard, no matter which I live fully and whole heartedly. I welcome curious discussions grounded in compassion. We are all walking each other home . . . taking turns leading one another."

Renee first began writing newspaper articles for the Ypsilanti Press in 1979 and has been writing ever since. Her writing has been a career, a hobby and now after a 20 year maternity leave, her career again. Always a mom first, writer second--in her eyes it must be this way. There is no wisdom in her writing if there isn't wisdom in her living. Renee embraces the role of sacred mothering and creating a sacred space called home. Her purpose is lived out in each moment.

Renee is currently a contributor to Medium, Thrive Global, a food blogger, a frequent guest blogger, among writing for several other publications. Her essays are risky, shameless, honest, curious, mindful and compassionate.

"It feels good to get back to writing again, making a difference through my words. We are never too old to follow our passion, our soul's calling, the heart wisdom inside all of us."
