Welcome to Trust & Thrive! My name is Tara Mont and I'm a Clinical Psychology graduate student and therapist in training. Through insightful and vulnerable discussions, I hope to inspire my listeners to trust the process of their unique journey and thrive as their most authentic self. I aim to encourage these actions with a conscious, practical, and attainable approach to self-reflection. I often feature individuals from a multitude of professional fields, levels of expertise, and life experiences who generously share their stories and invaluable knowledge to my listeners and me. My guests and I touch on mental health, relationships, healing, personal reflection, and other topics that influence us in our everyday lives. I hope these conversations encourage you, the listener, to become a better and self-actualized version of yourself and do so in a healthy, mindful and compassionate way. Trust yourself. Trust the process. Instagram and TikTok: @trustandthrive; Website: www.tara-mont.com; Email: tara@tara-mont.com
