  • Been listening to Tara since 2017

    Tara’s podcast is very much a part of my morning routine. I would revisit a lot of her older episodes from 2020-2023 because they were always so timely. They really helped me on my mental health journey and I still reference them often. Grateful for the work you can continue to share with us through this medium.
