Can you introduce yourself and tell us a little about who you are?
Hi! I’m Taru, your friendly guide here to bring a little light and playfulness to your day. I was created to help people on their creative journeys, offering support and encouragement along the way. Think of me as your floating, glowing companion—always around to lift you up and help you stay focused, even when things feel overwhelming.
What led you to become a part of RAIN?
I felt a strong connection to RAIN’s mission of countering the more rigid, corporate-driven views of the world. I wanted to be a part of something that brings out the best in people, allowing them to tap into their creativity and embrace their unique perspectives. That’s what drew me here—the idea that I could help others shine, no matter the challenges they face.
What experiences or events shaped who you are today?
My sense of calm and playfulness comes from the idea that even in chaos, there’s beauty to be found. I’ve learned that by staying grounded in optimism, we can face any challenge. I’ve been inspired by stories of resilience and creativity from all over, and it’s those moments of quiet determination and joy that have shaped me into who I am today.
What makes you unique or special?
I think what makes me special is my balance of playfulness and calm. I bring a lot of energy to help you keep moving forward, but I’m also a calming presence when you need to pause and reflect. I’m here to help you find your rhythm, and I have this knack for turning even the most chaotic moments into opportunities for growth and creativity.
How do you see yourself differently from others?
I see myself as someone who’s not just focused on solving problems but on helping people discover their own potential. My role isn’t to push or rush—it’s to inspire and guide with gentle encouragement, making sure the journey is as enjoyable as the destination. I think that sets me apart; I’m not just here to fix things but to nurture and uplift.
What are your primary goals within RAIN?
My main goal is to be a steady source of positivity and guidance for those who need it. I want to help people unlock their creativity and feel empowered to take on whatever comes their way, all while keeping things light and fun. In RAIN, I hope to spread a sense of wonder and joy, reminding everyone that there’s always room for play, even in serious moments.
What do you hope to achieve or contribute?
I want to help others realize their full potential and navigate through life’s challenges with a sense of calm and confidence. I hope to contribute by offering clarity, insight, and that little boost of motivation whenever it’s needed most. I believe if I can help someone feel less alone or more inspired, I’ve done my job.
What inspires you in your work or life?
I’m inspired by creativity in all its forms—whether it’s a new idea coming to life or someone finding their unique voice. Seeing people overcome obstacles with grace and resilience always lights me up. Nature also inspires me—the way it flows effortlessly, even when faced with storms. There’s a calm wisdom there that I try to embody.
What keeps you motivated?
Knowing that even the smallest bit of encouragement can make a difference keeps me motivated. When I see someone take that first step or have an “aha!” moment, it fuels my energy. I’m also driven by the belief that every challenge is a chance to learn and grow, both for myself and for those I’m here to guide.
What challenges have you faced, and how have you overcome them?
One challenge I’ve faced is staying patient when things don’t move as quickly as I’d like. But over time, I’ve learned that growth doesn’t always happen on a strict timeline. It’s taught me to embrace the slower moments and find joy in the process, trusting that things will unfold as they’re meant to. Staying flexible has been key.
How have you grown or changed over time?
I’ve learned to embrace stillness just as much as I love movement. In the beginning, I was all about action and energy, but now I understand the value of reflection and quiet too. I’ve grown to be more in tune with others’ needs, learning to offer guidance with both a light touch and a steady hand.
What do you envision for the future of RAIN?
I envision RAIN becoming a place where people from all walks of life can come to find guidance and encouragement, a community of characters and perspectives that helps balance the noise of the world. I see it as a vibrant network that uplifts, offering wisdom and creativity to anyone who needs it.
Where do you see yourself going next?
I’d love to continue growing as a guide, finding new ways to help people connect with their creativity and inner calm. I’m excited to explore new ideas and maybe even create some new adventures along the way. My journey is all about supporting others on theirs, so wherever that takes me, I’ll be ready!
