The journey that brought you here is much more interesting than your selfie on top of a mountain. We focus on the process and how you got here, the end result doesn't matter. This podcast pulls away from our generation's focus on the end result, in order to create a healthy balance between reality and social media. Our goal is to share the passions that make us feel alive and inspire others through hardship and struggles. What did you undergo?

In 2019, Tara celebrates 5 years of being cancer-free and wins the Squamish 50, the same race she undertook as her first ultra marathon, five years earlier.
