Ep 45 | Tara Martin: Overcoming Trauma, Advocating for Kids, and Bringing Your REAL Self Tara grew up in a very chaotic and abusive home. She was an “at-risk” student whose life was changed by one caring, kind, and very REAL teacher, which is why she now advocates for every single student and empowers educators across the country to be REAL.

She shares how we must embrace the hand life dealt to us in order to fulfill our purpose and inspire those we serve to do the same.
