It has been truly informative and helpful to hear Tara discuss so many areas with lead professionals who are making progress and new discoveries in areas hitherto closed off to neurodiverse people or indeed women. Best podcast I’ve listened to in a long long time.
I am loving this podcast. So many gems across the 3 episodes I have listened to so far delivered in a kind, engaging manner. A reminder that the world is great, and when adversity arises there are ways to successfully navigate our challenges, especially if we embrace the range of guidance this podcast shares.
I love listening to Dr Tara and guests on these podcasts!
Tara is very insightful, calming and knowledgeable and I look forward to the next episode.
Powerful, helpful stuff!
