Tanya is committed to co-creating magic in the lives of women so they can discover their purpose, reclaim their joy, find their voice, create the life they want, and step into their magnificent inner Queen.

In today’s episode Tanya shares her journey becoming an Archetype Mentor and Author of When She Wakes, She Will Move Mountains - Five Steps to Reconnecting with Your Wild Authentic Inner Queen. After years of ignoring her real calling to be a writer, she looked herself in the mirror and realized she didn’t recognize the woman staring back at her. She wondered where her life had gone, and Tanya knew it was time to change her life. This wake-up call culminated in a huge personal awakening and healing journey. During the pandemic she was inspired to write about her journey to offer hope and healing to other women and moms who are going through the same thing she did. Tanya’s story is a beautiful reminder that we’re never really lost, the real you is within, you just need to surrender to what is.
