Welcome
Welcome and thank you for visiting my website.
This site was established in September 2008, just prior to my first books being published. They were written for a specific purpose following a life changing event however during the process things changed and my life took yet another turn.
Grief is like a finger print and different for us all and we do not know how we will cope until faced with our own journey.
It was during my dark night I was able to find meaning and purpose in my life again and use this experience to help others on a similar journey.
Remaining authentic and open in my writing and coaching I have found has been the most powerful means to others who want to live their best life and right now are feeling stuck. Living by example and keeping my message simple is what I can offer you.
Please feel free to watch TV interviews, read published articles and listen to radio interviews by scrolling through the "ARCHIVES" tab to your left.
You will also be able to view my recent interview with Dr. Robert Schuller at Crystal Cathedral, California on The Hour of Power.

Alternatively you can watch it on You Tube.

Since my interview with Dr Schuller I have since become the Co-Host of Hour of Power which screens in NZ on Sunday mornings Prime TV at 7.30pm or again on Shine TV at 2.30pm. Do tune in for an hour of inspirational messages.
My journey commenced in January 2009 with the release of my first books Unplanned Journey; A Triumph in Life and Death, and Unplanned Journey, The Workbook Companion. (See Books Tab)
If you would like to make a move on life, please subscribe to my newsletters (under Contact Tanya) and I will provide you easy tips on how to do so. Each month excerpts from my book Workbook Companion will be included plus other helpful tools.
A new Journal Entry is posted approximately once a week.
Feel free to contact me on the Contact Tanya tab to your left.
All my Best
