Summary
My dear friend Tara Mackey is the true epitome of making your mess your message. She came off over a dozen psychiatric medications virtually overnight and decided she would heal her body with nature-- food, sun and meditation. She is now a best-selling author for her book Cured by Nature and blogs about natural beauty on her website theorganiclifeblog.com. This is such an inspirational interview where I learned even more about Tara and am further impressed by her incredible work-ethic and resilience. She is a true leader from a divine feminine space and I am so elated to share this interview with you.
