In this episode of Super Soul Sunday season 11, Oprah Winfrey interviews Tara Westover, author of the memoir "Educated." Westover shares her powerful story of growing up in a strict, survivalist family in rural Idaho, with no access to formal education or medical care. Despite the challenges she faced, including abuse from family members, Westover found her way to Brigham Young University and eventually earned a Ph.D. from Cambridge University.
Throughout the interview, Winfrey and Westover discuss the themes of Westover's memoir, including the importance of education and the search for one's own truth. They also delve into the complicated relationships Westover had with her family, as well as the long journey she took to heal from the trauma she experienced.
As always, Super Soul Sunday encourages viewers to reflect on their own lives and contemplate ways to live more fully and authentically. This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, finding one's own path is possible.
