One comment about her favorite purple lipstick kept Tara Brown from wearing it for four months. Now, it represents something much bigger: the courage to show up as herself.
In this episode of RESET Your Buttons, Mary Elizabeth Murphy sits down with comedian Tara Brown for a conversation filled with laughter, honest reflection, and a little encouragement to stop letting other people’s opinions hold you back.
Tara shares how she started stand-up at 45 and eventually left her career in PR to pursue comedy full time. Along the way, they talk about the friends who tell us the truth with love, the mentors who help us see our potential, and why Tara is creating space for other women in comedy to be heard.
It’s a conversation that will leave you asking: What’s YOUR version of purple lipstick? 💄 That thing you’ve been wanting to do, say, or try—but haven’t because you’re worried about what someone else might think.
