Tara Weldon is a dedicated disaster responder having served at ground zero during 9-11, she's served in so many hurricanes she's beginning to lose count, she's a cancer survivor, and among all these remarkable experiences in their own right she also happens to be a licensed clinician and seasoned researcher having studied everything from sleep health, to pharmaceuticals, to violence and genocide.

Tara and I had an incredible heartfelt and candid conversation. By the end I still felt like I could talk to her for hours more. I'm absolutely certain you all enjoy it as much as we did making it!
