Tara joins me for a conversation about how her life and experiences have taught her about how much our privileges impact our happiness, for better and for worse. Tara has worked as a nurse with Doctors without Borders and has spent time serving local indigenous communities and comes with a wealth of knowledge about how many of us will never truly understand the challenges of life without the privilege we experience. We also chat a bit about our shared experiences in Montreal at a treatment facility years ago. The conversation was incredibly powerful and insightful and I am so very grateful that she took the time to share her thoughts and experiences with me!
