Excellent
Tamra is so relatable. Love listening to her and her guests!
Insightful & Actionable 💫
Tamara does a fantastic job of making the incredible insights from her top-notch guests not only relatable but also actionable. 🚀 A must-listen for anyone (especially Canadians) looking to upgrade their health and life! 💚
Not a fan of Tamara
Tamara is such an annoying interviewer. She talks in fragments of sentences, doesn’t seem to be able to put a coherent sentence together. Too many um’s, ah’s, you know’s, etc. She talks too much and interrupts her guests.
