Meet Tamara Tisdale

Today, we’d like to introduce you to Tamara Tisdale. Tamara was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Tanisha Charron Benjamin.

Tamara , can you walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Identifying boundaries, knowing how or when to set them. Masking daily struggles with confidence all while battling generational traumas that were deeply suppressed. The lack of unconditional love to self and not truly understanding how to adequately give others the love they truly needed. Constantly faced with the frequent frustrations of the push-pull in relation, situation and friendships kept me bound, which lead to countless years of me trying to escape the negative, unhealthy and toxic views brought on by self and others. Lack of self-worth and self-esteem pulled me in the direction of unthinkable and unimaginable situations. Lost and confused I lacked courage and the strength to break the patterns and cycles of abuse and addictions.

Big FACTS!! “Until you learn the lesson(s) they WILL be repeated”… A little over a year in Georgia, 30 at the time, a single mother from Upstate NY is the first time I started to see that old habits, unhealed wounds and toxic triggers die so hard if at all… From one abusive situation to another life became too real. Forgetting about the joys and passions I once had, my life had become one train reck after another. The poor choices, the associations, the victim mentally, with a side of negative and bitter traits. Endless excuses, chasing destinations, titles, money, pouring into the empty cups of others, forever finding myself entangled with the needy and codependent. Nursing the scars of others all while blowing on my own, It makes so much sense why I stayed feeling depressed, stressed and depleted. Truth.. I had mastered hiding behind my smile until it became a struggle to even do that.

“God often uses our deepest pain to launch our greatest calling.” Not quite sure who wrote this quote, but probably the realist words I’ve read to date. Countless tears and sleepless nights… This “Wounded Healer” has been through some things…

Growth is when your able to find the beauty in your brokenness, when your able to take the lemons and make lemonade, its learning to dance in the rain. Growth is picking up every brick that was sent or meant to destroy you and one brick at a time you create a bigger, stronger a more structured and solid foundation. It’s restoring, rebuilding and rebranding what’s been in you the entire time… your EMPIRE.

Now 39, with the strength of the Lord, I’m able to discern, fight off fears, doubt and unrealistic expectation. Doing the inner and outer work, dissecting and unveiling the layers of my life has lead me to the creative and vibrant inner child in me that has been waiting to come out.

My path… My journey… My story…. Has landed me exactly where I needed to be. A daughter, a sister, a mother, and now entrepreneur of two businesses, I’ve changed lanes and finding my own path.

Dropping jewels, knowledge and wisdom isn’t new for me…. from darkness to light and unlearning life as I knew it ultimately lead me to my calling of becoming a Certified Life Coach. My mentoring business CHRONICLE kənˈfeSHən was established to help restore, motivate and inspire women who are in need of guidance and support with for their way. CHRONICLE isn’t just a pathway of healing for others, it has been influential for my personal growth and development as well.

päSH bōō’tēk reestablished in 2020 is an online boutique. My company’s innovative, unique and dope trendz are created for those who dare to leap, do, see, and live… Having always been the creative and think out the box type, it didn’t come as a surprised to my family when I launched a store with custom jackets, tee’s, gift baskets and accessories.

This is me… Unfiltered, unboxed and unmasked. The L’s turned into lessons and now seeing the blessing in it all I am truly walking in Faith. Now suited and booted in this war with Christ, I’m CUSTOMizing “My Story” one piece, and one conversation at a time.

Please tell us more about your brand, Pashbootek
I’ve always been a lyrics person, super creative and always thinking out the box. Turning my pain into power and finding my voice I found comfort in adding some of my favorite, quotes or phrases to some dope vintage jackets, creating custom unique gift baskets and designing one of a kind accessories.

So, as we mentioned to our audience earlier, you were introduced to us by Tanisha Charron Benjamin and Primal Instincts Cosmetics & Primal skincare and we really admire them and what they’ve built. For folks who might not be as familiar, can you tell them a bit about your experience with Primal Instincts Cosmetics & Primal skincare.
Sometimes we are blessed to cross paths with a dope, beautiful and amazing soul… Ms. Tanisha Charron… I means really?? Aside from being one of the best Make-up artist to date, her vibe, spirit and personality is like no other.

We met a decade ago through a mutual friend who was dying to get me out of my comfort zone. A little hesitant at first because I always struggled with acne, facial hair and pigmentation issues due to having PCOS. I was definitely a walking billboard of insecurities and lacked major confidence. Standing out was not apart of my agenda… She didn’t judge, or stare, super understanding, she gave suggestions, chill convo, then held a mirror to my face. Whaaaatt!!! Like Who knew a perfectly arched brow and a little powder would change the tone and narrative of my life?

From managing a Kiosk at Cumberland Mall to owning, running and overseeing her own beauty and cosmetic company, constantly staying updated on natural and organic products to provide her clients with the best, all while traveling state to state to watch her sons basketball games, shows you just how unstoppable she is. Tanisha’s unwavering loyalty, dedication and commitment in rocking with her day ones all while taking on her growing list of celebrity clients is what really sets her apart. Her ability to always make the time to encourage, uplift and drop life jewels is on point.

The growing bond we share, the endless support, restoring my confidence, to our endless talks about parenting, business ventures, career choices, this unpredictable life and the ups and downs in relationships. Tanisha is more than just an amazing MUA. I truly thank her for embodying women empowerment and being a pivotal part of my journey.
