“That’s where I start. How are you different? What sets you apart from other people? … understand that I’m asking you this question because I’m intrigued to know how you’re different because that’s an awesome, awesome thing.”
​- Tara Wiskow

I am happy to bring you this week’s episode featuring Tara Wiskow. A slight heads up, however, this week’s episode does touch lightly upon some heavy topics such as suicide and eating disorders. Tara’s journey is one of trials and tribulations but ultimately, it is one of courage and bravery.

Like millions of others, Tara’s weight was an issue she struggled with for years. On top of that, she dealt with thyroid cancer. There was every opportunity for Tara to simply give up and stop fighting, and as she explains, she certainly did. However, she was then given a second chance at life.
​
Tara has walked a long and hard road to get where she is today. I would highly recommend listening to her episode as she shares insights on how to rebuild love for yourself and embrace who you are, differences and all.

During the episode, Tara and I discuss:

• What led her to motivational speaking. [1:18]
• Her weight loss journey. [2:22]
• What feeling uncomfortable in your skin does to a person. [4:28]
• How she overcame her thyroid cancer. [5:47]
• What was the tipping point in her mindset shift. [7:10]
• A note to those who are feeling particularly low or like they don’t have something to live for. [8:58]
• A tip for those who don’t see their uniqueness or believe they don’t have anything to offer. [10:20]  
• What led her to becoming a personal trainer. [14:13]
• Her experience with eating disorders and how she finally lost the weight the right way. [16:23]
• Her course, Be Uniquely You. [23:53]
