Trust & Thrive

Author: Tara Montazeri

Welcome to Trust & Thrive! My name is Tara Montazeri and I'm an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. 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 and community care. 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 topics related to mental health, relationships, systemic issues, generational wounds, and other topics that influence us in our everyday lives. I hope these conversations encourage us to approach our journey of self-awareness in a thoughtful, mindful and compassionate way. Instagram and TikTok: @trustandthrive; Website: www.tara-mont.com; Email: trustandthrive@gmail.com

We discuss life transitions and societal timelines that leave many feeling "behind," especially in a Westernized, individualistic culture that often overlooks cultural values, family dynamics, and collective expectations. As therapists, we also explore our experiences showing up on social media and what it looks like to show up authentically. The conversation also touches on the grief that can come with change, the evolving nature of relationships, especially in one's 20s and 30s, and what it means to trust your path. Wherever you are on your journey, we hope this episode can remind you that you're not alone or "behind."FOLLOW MARISA:INSTA: @illuminatedlife.therapyWEBSITE: https://www.illuminatedlifetherapy.comSTAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveTHREADS: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com
