Tara Ladd founded Your One & Only because she was fed up with brands that looked pretty but felt completely empty. Using behavioural psychology and a knack for spotting what everyone else completely misses, she creates brands that don’t just stand out, they actually stand for something real.

With over 18 years in the industry, including 8 running her own studio and a decade working with massive brands like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Telstra, Tara knows her way around strategy. But her real passion? Wellness work that actually matters. We’re talking mental health advocacy, neurodivergence support, chronic illness navigation, reproductive health conversations, disability access, and healthcare system reform.

Based in South Western Sydney, she’s a big-thinking creative who isn’t afraid of the messy stuff. Her studio specialises in brands that tackle the topics other people whisper about; the ones calling out medical bias, making space for bodies and minds that don’t fit the “wellness industry” mould, fighting for better systems instead of just prettier packaging.

As a neurodivergent entrepreneur with ADHD, Tara gets it. Thinking differently isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a superpower. She’s also a mum of 2 neurodivergent kids (one’s a transplant recipient), which means she’s seen firsthand how broken some of our systems really are.

She’s not here to create another ‘safe’ brand that says nothing. She’s here to help you build something that makes people stop, think, and feel like they finally found their people.

In this episode, we talk about brand psychology and the power of positioning.
