- My name is Tara Crooks and I am a mama to two amazing little girls and married to my best friend. I'm also an Army wife of fourteen years, an author, a speaker, a columnist, and a talk radio show host. When asked, my friends would tell you I am hard-working, funny, energetic, and determined. Those that know me professionally would tell you I have an ability to inspire and empower others. To me, I'm just me - I don't know how to be anyone else - and the older I get the more I learn to appreciate finding my place on this journey.
