Get on the waitlist for Functional Health Coaching HERE.

In this heartfelt episode, Tanya shares her personal journey from striving and burnout to discovering abundant living through God’s design for whole-person wellness.

The Grace Filled Leader began with a mission to help women surrender their leadership and daily lives to the Lord — finding victory and freedom from people-pleasing, anxiety, and exhaustion. But as Tanya continued to grow and heal, God led her deeper: into her own wellness journey, functional health training, and the realization that abundant living means aligning body, mind, and spirit with His beautiful design.

Listen in as Tanya celebrates passing her final oral exam to become a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, reflects on her spiritual and physical healing journey, and prepares listeners for the exciting rebrand ahead: Aligned Vitality for Midlife Leaders.

If you’ve ever felt burned out, stuck in brain fog, overwhelmed by stress, or out of sync with your health, this episode will encourage you with hope, vision, and the reminder that God designed you for vitality and abundant life.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The origins of The Grace Filled Leader and its message of grace and surrender in leadership.
  • How Tanya’s own struggles with stress, burnout, and health became part of her faith journey.
  • Why she went “back to school” to become a Functional Health Practitioner.
  • What “abundant living” truly means in midlife.
  • How the upcoming rebrand reflects a mission expansion — not a departure.

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
