Tara Accardo is a Certified Grief and Soul Purpose Coach and the founder of Losses Become Gains, a coaching practice and brand dedicated to helping grievers rediscover their sense of self, find clarity and peace, and build a life full of joy and vibrancy after loss.

She is the host of the Life With Grief podcast, which just surpassed 100k downloads, where she has interviewed dozens of guests on topics ranging from disenfranchised grief to rebuilding identity after loss. Through solo episodes and guest episodes, her purpose is to help fellow grievers feel seen, held, and supported through the most difficult time of their life.

Tara's own grief journey began in 2019, when she lost her mother to esophageal cancer. Six months later, her dad died of prostate cancer .That experience reshaped her life and led her to become a guide for others navigating loss. She then developed the ALIGN Method (Acknowledge, Listen, Integrate, Ground, Next), a five-phase framework she now uses with 1:1 coaching clients.

She lives with her husband and two-year-old daughter in Northern California, and works daily to embody the same "spark back" philosophy she teaches.
