Educated by Tara Westover

How can we continue to learn and grow?

Tara Westover’s Educated is a moving, inspiring, and thought-provoking memoir. My friend, Jaime, and I discuss Tara’s courage to challenge the beliefs she had been conditioned to accept all of her life. And even though her education came with a devastating personal price, her journey is a reminder of the importance of self-reflection, curiosity, and the pursuit of knowledge.
