About Me

Hi, I'm Tara Palmer. After witnessing families struggle through disorganized estates and experiencing my own wake-up call in a hospital hallway, I realized it was time for a change, so I created the Sophisticated Sidekick. 

As a wellness innovator turned legacy planning advocate, I help individuals navigate life's transitions with clarity and purpose. Through The Sophisticated Sidekick and my book "Don't Leave a Mess," I transform end-of-life planning from an avoided topic into an empowering journey.

My coaching-centered approach makes complex topics accessible. Whether through personalized legacy planning, decluttering guidance, or mindfulness workshops, I create safe spaces for clients to organize what matters most—both physically and emotionally.

I'm passionate about helping others live mindfully today while creating clarity for tomorrow, turning legacy planning into an opportunity for deeper connection and personal growth. 

When I am not helping people transform their lives, I enjoy writing, and spending time with my three grown sons and the "occasionally-quirky" dog I suddenly inherited.
