SPARK Sessions With Tambra
Podcast Description
SPARK Sessions with Tambra is where soul meets story. Hosted by artist, mindfulness guide, and modern storyteller Tambra McCarthy, this podcast was born from the live, multi-sensory, theatrical immersive storytelling event she created—SPARK: the experience. What began as a stage for women’s truths has now evolved into a mic for the moments that shape us all.
Through solo reflections, soulful conversations, and a touch of ritual, each episode offers what Tambra calls Story Medicine—a path to reconnect with your voice, your purpose, and your spark.
Conversations that awaken, rituals that ground, stories that transform.
If you’re ready to live lit-up from the inside out, you’re in the right place.

In this heart-centered conversation, Tambra sits down with Chef Rajni Menon, a former engineer turned private chef trained under Michelin-starred Jean-Georges.
