In this powerful and heartfelt episode, we sit down with Tara Kan. Tara is a close friend of mine and has been a major supporter of my journey. She has overcome a lot in her journey with mental health and still continues to do work to better it.
We go through Tara's experience with depression, suicidal thoughts, and how perfectionism has been the root to all of it. And how she is working on them today!
