In this first episode of 2026, Tara opens the year with a very different kind of conversation, and marks the launch of The Business of Healthcare Podcast on YouTube.

This episode is for anyone who isn't entering the new year with "New Year, New Me" energy, particularly those who have experienced loss, uncertainty, or significant change. Tara shares her own reflections and the tools that are helping her move into 2026 with steadiness, self compassion, and intention, rather than pressure or productivity goals.

This is a personal episode, focused less on work and more on wellbeing, mindset, and navigating difficult seasons while continuing to show up in life and leadership.
