I had no idea I could be this entertained and moved at 11am on a weekend, yet, here we are. Absolutely loved this show.... full review

Mara gives an honest, visceral experience–sharing her struggles and exposing every ounce of herself.

I loved watching her transform her beautiful mess into a profound mess we can all learn from. It is raw. It's honest. It's inspiring. And it will hijack your own mind long after you watch it!... full review
