- I was doing what I thought everybody should do.

I was following society's norms.

So I got a couple of master's degrees,

and I thought that that's what I needed to do.

And what I realized in the days, it's all about what comes from the inside. If we can change our inner beliefs and grow our self-worth, then our outside automatically changes.

- Tara Lucky is an entrepreneur, agricultural leader, and the founder of Lucky Farms. Drawing from her passion for farming, family, and community, she is helping preserve the values of agriculture while creating opportunities for growth, sustainability,

and future generations. - Growing up as a child, I loved horses, loved animals, all of that, but I had no access to farmland. But what I realized is that through our experience and our farm tours we offer now

is that people want the same thing I wanted as a child, and that's really to experience farmland. Less than 1% of folks today actually live on a farm, and now on our farm we offer these really hands-on engaging experiences with big farm animals.

And I see that joy that I had as a child, and I'm getting to relive it every day with the visitors that come to our farm. (dramatic music) - It spans the globe, like a super high school,

internet Elvis, really high school here. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the fall. - It's not over, I'm telling how we're... - The living your legacy podcast

for those who live to leave a legacy. (crowd cheering) (crowd cheering) - Oh, that is sensational! (crowd cheering)

Open, check out the list of the latest info in the box is not on the planet. You can live your dreams. - Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast.

For Insights, Success, I am Regan Tears. Joining me today is Tara Lucky. L-U-C-K-I-E Lucky, just making sure. - Yeah, sure. - I will take the hit and look like a dumbass

not known how to spell "Clucky Correctly." Tara Lucky of Tara Lucky Farms? - Yeah, our Lucky Farms. - Lucky Farms, all right. - Rock and roll, here we are.

Welcome. - Yeah, great to be here. I've had an amazing time here in Miami and I mean, I truly am Lucky. So it's like to have a lasting Lucky

because I think I've been living my best life

and I'm here to really share how I believe my best life and how there's can as well. - Right on, let's begin the journey of what will we learn about you and your women in power episode? - I think you'll learn about my journey from,

I think when I was younger, I was doing what I thought everybody should do. I was following society's norms and expectations. - Yes, yes. - Because of that, I got into the cycle

of just being tired, feeling kind of uninspired. Just, we had two young kids and I was the executive director of a non-profit and the business. The non-profit was doing really well but I just felt like inside there's got to be more.

- You know, there's got to be more to life. I wanted an adventure and also my health was kind of,

your body always shows you what's wrong.

If you're not aligned with what you want, then a lot of times your body shows it. So I got this hernia-desk of my neck and I had nerve pain and all things good on, which is really a manifestation of having stress

and anxiety. - Yes. - And really realizing that I need to do something different. And if you don't listen to your body, it will just get louder and louder.

- So absolutely, I suffered an injury years ago and I still carry that injury room. It's like a shameful 'cause I was like, I remember what I was doing that night and I shouldn't have been doing that

and I got my ass kicked for it and now I'm like, Gary, that shame wound just to remind me. And yeah, when I have like negative days, I'm like, well, I'm pretty sure it's the wound as opposed to what's happening in the brain.

It's all interconnected but it's actually kind of helped me like, you know, stimulate the right brain muscles for positivity and understanding frequencies and all that. - Yes. - All that jazz.

But it's ironic because when you start talking about frequencies and the divine, you don't picture folks that look like you in cowboy hats. - You have a, I have a doctor and educational leadership.

I thought that I need to climb the ladder so to speak in society and that I needed to kind of look outward and get a lot of education. So I got a couple of master's degrees

and I thought that that's what I need to do

to gain, I think, respect and what I realized in the days, it's all about what comes from the inside. - Yes. - So it's all about if we can change our interbeliefs and grow our self-worth, then our outside automatically changes.

- Oh, absolutely. - Yeah, and it's like it's really so simple. Yeah, I think people don't believe it because it's so simple but it's hard to do because we're taught in society not to follow our heart

and our passion but to do what everybody else is doing. - Yeah, it's crazy.

I always thought this was happening in coastal cities.

Like I grew up in Miami, boarding and raised here and I didn't even start really thinking this way until it didn't California or it's like life really began there. But now that I've moved back to Miami recently and I'm finding folks like yourself rooting

these tribes of a collectively ended up in Miami, you start seeing these like, the basics, the Microsoft, the Google is everything that I saw in the Bay Area, 20 years ago, even in Austin recently, after COVID,

Everyone's out here in Miami.

There's something tribal happening here. So within sites, it's just like, okay, cool, this is Netflix, but we really wanna give a megaphone to folks like you. They're like, no dude, this is happening everywhere. We feel the frequency, there's leaders being born

among the stars.

How does it feel to be that, to be a powerful woman

and this new era of what it is to be a leader? - Yeah, I appreciate you saying that because I think being around inside success and the people that are a part of this, they think differently.

- Oh yeah. - And it's kind of hard, I feel like most people are on this path where they're subconsciously, they're subconscious patterns and they're just reacting. And they are doing what everybody else is doing

and follow that, following that path. And what's different about everyone at inside success is that people are following their intuition, they're following their gut and that's different.

And like Rudy says, you have to be around people

that resonate with you on a higher frequency and higher level in order to move forward. And so I feel like it is in a way, like we had this week, I just feel like, wow, I found my tribe of people and we all do think a little differently.

And it is higher frequency.

- Oh yeah, no question, it can get kind of intense and we start to weed out the folks out. Are not designed for just yet or maybe this is not for them, but they're at a different timbre. And it's completely a real thing.

But again, it's Miami and everyone's very fiery here. I'm sure you can kind of see that in our traffic and our weather and how we carry ourselves and we speak to each other. It's very, very raw rebellious,

but it's just like very prideful. - Yes. - So welcome. - Yes. - What happens next for you?

Like you walk out this door and what do you do next? Like what are you inspired to do next? - That's a great question. I've really been working on my own self-worth over the last couple of years and like I was saying,

it when you change your inner world, you change your outer world and so we run farm tours at our farm and our whole basis for what we do comes from as a child. And I actually think that if people,

if you think about your passion as a child, a lot of times if you follow your gut instinct, it will lead you back to your childhood. - Oh yeah. - And to things that you did as a child,

because when you're a child, you're not listening to society left, you're kind of, you're kind of more raw and just going after what makes you feel good. And at the end of the day, it's all about finding what makes you feel good.

I growing up as a child, I loved horses, loved animals, all of that, but I had no access to farmland. - Wow. - And then I believed, for the longest time,

I really believe that I have these limiting beliefs

that I thought, well, I'm not a multi-generational farmer, so I'm not gonna, you know, I can't be a farmer. - Sure. - But what I realized is that through our experience and our farm tours we offer now

is that people want the same thing, I wanted as a child. And that's really to experience farm life. Less than 1% of folks today actually live on a farm. Every generation is further removed from farming.

Yet we eat three times a day, you know. And so it's been fun to come full circle. And now on our farm we offer these really hands-on, engaging experiences with big farm animals, like Kailin cows, yeah, we have reindeer,

donkeys, all sorts of things. And I see that joy that I had as a child, and I get to relive it every day with the visitors that come to our farm. So we've really grown exponentially,

even just in the last couple of months,

we have amazing things going on for the holidays.

We just broke ground on our historic dairy barn and turning it into a wedding venue, Sasha Vent space, very cool. That has been in my mind for about five years. And so that is unfolding.

So I'm just excited about everything that's coming up for us. - That's great. Like how we were future casting, but now that's rewind time. And like with a name like Lucky, like how's life been for you?

Like have you been that lucky? Have you kind of seen adversity in the face and go, ha, I've got a special power, I've got this great last name. Like how does life been working for you? And do you see the the the the the the the the realizations

in your brain, a manifest in reality? - Yes, yeah, so what I do, I do feel lucky and I feel really grateful and I have a lot of gratitude.

I believe that our brains are a muscle and we can choose

to think that thoughts what you want to think. And I think that it wasn't until I really understood that and understood that a lot so much of it is about emotions to what we've been through feeling and also letting the motion feel it, let it flow through you and just being really

conscious of of those thought patterns that we have because if we choose to think positively and we we think we're lucky, then you see things, you know, things come doors open, opportunities come in your life and you are aware of them and you are open to accepting them and then

usually a better plan than you ever thought, you know, could exist happens, but if if you go the other way and you're thinking negatively, you don't even see those doors when they open, you like you you won't see them and you'll find the problems, you won't find the solutions.

- I'll for sure, I got it, I got my curious. Did you learn this from your farm animals or from human beings?

I'm pretty sure you you must have learned most of this

from the animals. - Oh yeah, I know what I'm learning from both, but I will say that if you if you've been around the animals, if you have dogs or cats or when you're with them, it really helps you to be centered and be present. - Yep.

- That's something that I think animals can teach us and they also, they they can feel our energy too. - Oh yeah, no questions.

- So if you want to try to work on your own energy,

you think being around animals is great. - Absolutely, I feel like animals are far-wise or, you know, beyond any human, I feel like there are protectors in our gardens because like, oh, you have a cat or a dog or a horse. You're like, oh, this is my human poor thing, he's so fragile.

He's got emotions and all these things, he's impulsive. We're just centered and we're animals and we're free. - Yeah. - So human. - And we've got you.

- We've got you. - We can also learn from animals is that they listen to their intuition and this is a good.

And I think we've always had that skill that's really important

and our society has taught us to not listen to our good and not listen to our intuition. But the best leaders and people who are really having success in their life, it's because they're they're listening to their intuition and they go after it.

Right on, what are you doing to preach this, everyone? If folks are showing up to your farm and you just have a bull horn, you're like, you are energy, good for you. Like, how do you do this? - Thank you for asking that.

So although we offer farm tours on our farms, what we realize is that a lot of times when people come, we do, we share our personal story. - Right on.

- And that I think has the biggest impact of anything.

Because me telling my personal story, it has more to do with the fact that I had these limiting beliefs and I overcame them and really anybody can. And doesn't have to be farming, maybe anything. - Oh dude, oh man, this is amazing.

What are we going to learn about you in your women and power episode? And I apologize I've already asked up but I'm going to make sure I ask them again. - Oh yes, yes.

So I do learn a little bit about my journey along the way. I think going from really struggling in life, in a lot of ways with not feeling alive inside and then finding the joy. Something that I talk a lot about in my episode is just, you know, you just have to go for it.

You have and believe that you just have faith and believe that everything will work out. - Right on. - When we first got our farm, I knew very little about farming but I just had to throw my hands up in the air to say,

you know, universe, like there's, you know, bring me people into my life that can create synergy and we can, you know, make things happen and shortly thereafter, you know, I was open to bringing people into my life to help me

and to being a sponge and finding resources. - Oh yeah. - And so because of that now, we have, we have nine acres of beautiful flowers, a family-gross flowers on our farm. They sell local farmers markets.

We have a beekeeper that sells honey at farmers markets. We sell cattle. We sell beef by the quarter half and whole, it's 100% grass fed beef. And then we have about 75 animals on our farm right now.

- Wow. - And then, - Please list out all their names, I will. - Yeah, and then you have names too. We talk a lot about farming in the lifestyle. - Of course.

- And all of that, and we've just gotten so involved in our local community. It has been so, such an adventure, but also just so fulfilling. - Yeah, do you want to trade places for a day?

- Yes, come on, Mark. - Yeah, yeah, we have, so we've got reindeer too. - What? - We have toastes, our male, and he's got huge antlers.

And just so amazing, and he's very excited about it.

- So about asking. - I'd like to come in on that. - I was gonna say, like folks here at Miami are like, "Oh, technology, big cities, rural room." And it's just like, you folks out of the farms are far more advanced.

You guys are truly living what life it should be. And like, to have you here in our studios, reminds me of that. So that's awesome. - Yeah.

- What a great way to enjoy the rest of our Friday and this concrete jungle called Miami. But you make sure you go out there have a good time. With that, do you have any closing comments? - I'm just unaccided for finding other people

that I think, resonate at the same level. And it's all about inspiring others to live their best dream. So I just appreciate, I appreciate this podcast,

I appreciate what inside success is doing.

And I'm just excited to see, in the future, what we all have in store. - And did you just do the mesh mine with Rudy? - I did. - Oh man, you got the full experience.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes. - And I did the genius, like there was a genius. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I did that. - How do you go?

How the giant stream behind you? - It was awesome, and what my focus was is if you want to be, whatever you want to be, think about your future self, and if you can feel the way that you want to feel, 'cause at the end of the day,

it's all about how you want to feel. If you want a really nice car, if you want a big house, whatever it is, you want, it's about the feeling you want to have, not about the actual things.

And so I gave people some steps to take to feel that way now. And then if you practice that every day, what happens is your brain creates these neurological pathways and you will find a way to get there and to feel that. And so that might lead you to that big house,

or maybe it will lead you to an amazing farm.

You know, you don't know, but if you feel that way now, that is like the game changer

Getting to where you want to get even faster.

- Right on, and now we cut to the horse,

looking at the camera going, "Oh, really?"

(laughing) - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Tara Lucky, I am very lucky to have you

on this podcast, and with that, this is Tara Lucky.

I am raised, also Lucky Gutierrez, and we are inside success. (upbeat music) (upbeat music)
