Tara Pyfrom, a Bahamian native, who survived the devastating Hurricane Dorian in 2019. Tara, her wife, daughter, and pets were stranded in their flooded home, barely escaping with their lives. The episode recounts their harrowing experience of being trapped in the rising floodwaters, forced to take refuge on countertops, and eventually swimming out through a window to escape the perilous conditions. Despite the trauma, Tara and her family demonstrated remarkable resilience. They relocated to Atlantic Canada, where Tara pursued and completed her college degree as a valedictorian at age 40. Tara's book, "The Ocean in Our Blood," chronicles their survival story and the challenges of coping with PTSD, adjusting to a new life, and finding solace in writing and cultivating gratitude. We explore the deep connection Tara and her family share with the ocean, both as a source of joy and identity but also a force of nature that can threaten lives. It highlights the strength of their loving relationship, the resilience of their community, and the determination to overcome even the most daunting obstacles through perseverance, therapy, and a commitment to building a better future.
