You Are Before the World: Lessons on Doing Good without Being Undone (Unabridged‪)‬

On the morning of November 6, 2024, Tara Jaye Frank found herself on her literal knees, grieving not only the state of a nation but the state of her soul. A helper by nature, a builder by calling, and a survivor of trauma, heartbreak, and the relentless grind of leadership, Tara reached a breaking point. And from that brokenness came a holy reimagining.


You Are Before the World is not a book about burnout. It's a book about becoming. Soothing your soul and strengthening your spine, it welcomes you into the sacred space between leaving it all on the field and opting out entirely. Tara shares her own story of personal reckoning and renewal, offering hard-won wisdom anchored in spiritual clarity.
