Tara’s memoir, Grace, Grit & Gratitude: A Cancer Thriver’s Journey from Hospice to Full Recovery with the Healing Power of Horses is a #1 bestseller on Amazon in eight different categories! Her book is about overcoming adversity, a deep dive into the challenges that come from loss, her own harrowing health journey and how her horses have played a significant role in her miraculous healing with cancer.

She happily lives in Kaua’i with her two horses, Aussie Shepard & cats. She believes it is always possible to find beauty within the greatest tragedy and that every challenge is present to serve us for our highest growth!

During our conversation, Tara shares the signs that she ignored leading up to her breast cancer diagnosis, why she was petrified to do standard treatment, why she decided to do it after two and a half years of natural therapies. What complementary therapies she did along with chemotherapy, how she dealt with the trauma of watching her best friend pass away, how her horses helped in her healing journey, why she made the decision to move back home to Hawaii, and the important advice she has for anyone touched by cancer.
