From Entertainment Executive to Mental Health Advocate with Tara Schuster

from Second Wind · host SickBird Productions

In the latest episode of Second Wind, we sit down with Tara Schuster—former Comedy Central executive turned bestselling self-help author and mental health advocate—to talk about the journey from outward success to inner healing. Tara opens up about her complicated upbringing and family dynamic that shaped her into being an overachiever. She vulnerably discusses the reality of not speaking to her mother for over 15 years, as well as the surprising validation she received from her father after sharing an early copy of her first book with him.  We dive into what it means to become successful through turmoil, the importance of self-awareness, and why journaling and finding the right therapist can be life-changing. Tara also advises on what steps to take to tap into your emotions and start doing the inner work. You won’t want to miss the exclusive details she gives us about her upcoming book either! So, press play, learn and enjoy Tara’s beautiful story of healing, breakthrough and discovery.  Follow us on Instagram and TikTok — @secondwindthepodcast & on YouTube @SecondWindPod Find Marion, Suzanne and Tara on Instagram too!
