After years of adversity and deep soul-searching, Tammy Schafran chose to follow her intuition, moving from New York to Maine to rebuild her life in a simpler, more sustainable way.
In this inspiring conversation, Tammy shares how she’s found a profound inner strength, along with an empathetic ability to create and maintain peace, by reconnecting with nature and staying true to herself.
Juggling two careers, Tammy serves actively on the police force while also running Maple Pond Farm, where she raises baby goats and brings the wonders of the natural world to others.
When asked for her Words of Wisdom, Tammy encourages: “Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something that scares you. You just might be surprised at the growth you’ll find on the other side.”
