Due to some technical difficulties, we attempted to record this episode a few times. The audio is not perfect but the quality of what Dr. Tucker has to say is excellent. So please stick around and have a listen to her amazing story. 

We talk about

  • Using defiance to fuel a path forward and to carve a path for those following in her footsteps
  • Re-evaluating goals and expectations along the way
  • Refusing to carry bitterness, anger, and heavy weights that do not serve her
