Tara Emrick is like sitting down with your best friend you never knew existed. She’s the exact person who can make you feel like you belong and that’s exactly the work she is doing in the world.

In this episode, we talk with author of Thirteen Reasons Why You Belong, a conversation and guidebook written for teenagers to inspire more connection in our youth.

We also discuss her new program with the HIP ME Project and how schools are using mindfulness as a way to support their students.
