Tara Haislip is a writer, speaker, and health advocate with a dynamic career spanning the performing arts, law, and health-tech. She brings over 18+ years of professional experience in leadership, coaching, and advocacy, rooted in a lifelong commitment to helping others reclaim agency, healing, and self-expression.

​

Tara began her professional journey as a modern dancer, performing in Philadelphia, New York City, and internationally. Her dance career instilled in her a deep understanding of discipline, creativity, and embodied resilience—values that continue to shape her work today.

​

Following her time in the arts, Tara transitioned into law, beginning at the Department of Justice in Philadelphia and later working in private practice with a focus on trust and estate administration. She later moved into the health-tech space, where she managed coaching teams and supported thousands of clients—many of them women and healthcare workers—through burnout, chronic illness, and major life transitions.

​

Today, she is the founder of Burn the Script, a podcast and storytelling platform that amplifies the voices of women challenging systemic norms and rebuilding their lives with integrity and intention. Tara brings to the board her cross-sector leadership, a deep belief in equity and mental wellness, and a passion for empowering communities through honest dialogue and sustainable change.
