The Woes of The Underperformer 🤔

The Woes of The Underperformer 🤔

Leadership is not for the faint of heart. We all strive to get to this make believe top of the mountain but we forget to go high we must go low. People are not interested in titles or at least people who inferred on the long term don’t matter if you fail to treat people well.
There are great leaders and those who just should not lead . They just don’t like people. They just don’t want to admit it. People are like onions layered and complex and they can make you straight cry.
Peer in and listen to these HR nuggets to charge the hill boldly and have two friend: Managerial Cpiuesf and Interpasobal Savvy. Some leaders are not always born but made. Manage people justly but handle differently. Don’t be afraid to address the hidden inperformer accoddlyy. Mismanagement will lessen morale of the team, productivity and the respect you worked so hard to earn. I see you out there being courageous just keep going. The HR Word Wizard 🖊️✏️🖋️🔏

Unwavering Thoughts 🌻🌻🌻

Unwavering Thoughts 🌻🌻🌻

This month the WNBA draft is happening. 🏀🏀 I don’t even like sports like that but the power of Dawn Staley who is lead coach certainly changed my mind.
I wanted to tip my hat to Dawn Staley who as a leader is not even worried about being in the forefront never but being a servant to others along the way. I watched on my tippy toes if they would win against Iowa and they did. It was a nail bitter. Not because it was about points but official teamwork. All the ladies played their positions and played it well might I add. Dawn was on the sidelines looking fly as ever in her customed made jacket and it was super cool. Made me want to purchase one myself but I don’t want to co-sign. Allowing freshmen to join in with the five other seniors that were headed to the draft and played their hearts out.

As an introvert, a person being seen and valued matters most. Leaders with huge emotional intelligence make it feel like home. You have no issues with making mistakes or showing true empathy. Learn about the people who you are around each day. Make it a point to learn about others because you will learn more about yourself. The good stuff too. Note to self: Introverted leaders are effective! All people are unique and have their special gifts and talents that can’t be duplicated. Repeat after me: There is no one like you.

Stillness: 3 is the magic number ⭐️✨🌟💫

It’s the number of years the Jesus walked in his divine purpose and lived out his amazing life. In the podcast, I am speaking on theee chapters in Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday that provides some great yet valuable lessons. Here are a few that should resonate with you 🎤🎙️

✅ Enough . You are SO worthy and there is nothing you can do about it. 👀👀

✅Find Confidence and Avoid Ego. Don’t let imposter’s syndrome ruin your purpose. Tackle it and tell it to have several seats. 🥰

✅Slow Down and Think Deeply - Slow down so you can speed up. Stop rushing your decisions and create space and margin to make a great decisions . We look like our parents but we also look like our decisions .👋✌🏽

Put you first because you are part of the equation to live the life that God desired you to live. I am because he is 🙏🙏🙏

Until next time

Hidden Gems 🦹‍♀️

Hidden Gems 🦹‍♀️



March is Women’s History so I dedicate this podcast to 2 women:

Kathryn Turner who had 98 years to devote to family, to children, to grandchildren and a life well-lived. You are gone but not forgotten. Your words still linger in my ears of living the life God have given to me and don’t try or seek outward approval from others to proceed forward with what God only has given you. #igotthis

This podcast is dedicated to my Aunt Diane. You have been faithful and the reward for your selfless love is the peace God is bestowing upon you. You can rest well knowing you did YOUR best and God sees everything. 💛

These hidden gems are of places to go and focus on your wellness journey which provides a life that will change you from the inside out. These are only 5 places and this podcast is not to solely endorse the suggestions but to offer my insight into places that amplify a life well lived. Be wise and take care of the vessel that God has given you. So, just like my Grandmother you can live a long and prosperous life from intentional choices. Rest easy Grandma Turner. Until I see you next time, pretty lady ❤️❤️

The CROWN Chronicles 👑💋💄

The CROWN Chronicles 👑💋💄

Hello Gorgeous 💋💐

March is Women’s month so let kick open the door and redefine beauty. Our beauty and no one else. 🥰

MY beauty is so unique and I do not have to look like or be like anyone else. You are your own kind of beautiful so remember that. Don’t dim your light(ever) and don’t let it flicker. Shine bright all the time. We all have flaws but we are only living for an audience of one. ☝️💯

Accentuate your best qualities. God breathed it in you.

Maybe it is your eyes, your hair, your nails and or those nice legs. Simply put, lean into your beauty. 💋💄💋💄. This podcast is dedicated to my beautiful Aunt JoAnn. Gone but not forgotten.

2024 Positive Momentum 🎤🍀

Dear Good Humans: 👋👋

We kicked opened the door to 2024 and we are midway through February. So friends how are you progressing? 🚪🚪

Reminder: Look we need goals. Because as humans we need to be intentional yet focused. Or, we will be all over the place. This episode is featuring Nate Todd with TLT talking about our individual goals (some similar answers quite different). Our goals as we share focus on consistency or an anomaly but laughing while doing so.

Sharing 3 because three is the magic number of fresh beginnings. So get prepared: Get a notebook and a pen. Start thinking differently, who you are becoming and WHO you are created/designed to be.

Hey You, stop being allergic to average and knock out fear with audacious goals, #blooming

Listen in to this podcast with Amanda Merrell (CEO Redefined Wellness + Health) licensed Nurse Practitioner sharing practical nuggets about women’s health. 🎤🎙️

Naturally Introverted yet Selectively Extroverted Part 2 🎤💋

Naturally Introverted yet Selectively Extroverted Part 2 🎤💋

Here I grow again. Oh my introverted soul. Part 2.

TPT Storytelling is in proper order. Part 2 of a conversation that has so many layers. Shout outs to all my introverts trying to find a quiet moment, space or place to simply recharge. Whether we are in the personal or professional realm, introverting it is hard. I felt all out of sorts. I use to ignore how I truly felt but I no longer can treat these feelings like they are not deemed important.

As introverts, we owe it to ourselves to honor WHO we are and how we are wired. I love being me because who else is going to do it. I am not odd (oh the labels) but just fearfully and wonderfully made. 🙏🤲

My TT superpowers: Being observant, needing quiet time (everyday) and mere self reflection equals just gotta be Tanya. What about you? 🎤🖊️🖋️🎙️👠💄

Naturally Introverted but Selectively Extroverted

Naturally Introverted but Selectively Extroverted

Hello 2024 Friends and Family: Oh my introverted soul.

There would be times that I can vividly remember in my personal and professional realm that others would try to size me up and make me feel like I should just follow the crowd. Looking back at being common should never be the norm. I can be still quite successful as an introverted leader and woman. I can still get the job done well and I should never feel like others. #uncommon

If you feel the same join me for this insightful podcast to discuss how you like to gain introspection from being alone and your quietness should never be taken as you are not tuned in. I am still riding this learning wave after all this time. I love who I am becoming and just because my style doesn’t align with the perspective of others doesn’t lessen my value. Don’t allow others to put you on mute. #introvertedsoul 💛💐

This is 53 👗

This is 53 👗

It’s my birthday today. I tried to align my thoughts to the word December but sort of veered off but it’s copacetic. That word is SO Midwest. #clevelandstrong

53 years around the sun and my knees still bend. I am constantly learning and unlearning. She IS becoming. Take a listen to this wholehearted podcast (no filters or perfection) of some pointed lessons learned in 2023 from Tanya’s perspective. 🌸🌸✏️✏️✏️

Do you have your dreams and goals written down and the plan of action? Don’t wait until Jan 1 to start. Ease on down the road today 👯‍♀️. My word for 2024 is anomaly. I am hopeful and lean into expectancy that God will restore and redeem all the years that were considered lost by bad decision making (a whole new podcast for another day) 🎤🎙️😏 and the road to simply striving to be better.

Continue to like, to amplify and to promote this podcast 🤓

Thank you for an amazing 2023 💋

Chapter 34 💕

Chapter 34 💕

As we move towards the holidays, it is a time to reflect and to focus on those people who add SO much value in your life. How we love them and miss them.

Pull up a chair and join two ole college friends sitting somewhere in any-town Florida on a beautiful lanai with just the perfect weather. A place that one never thought they would be. It’s a God Wink. 😉

Listen to Natalie sharing her powerful testimony of being a caregiver to her Dad and how life had changed since her beautiful mother left this world. Commonality and duality are themes in a long friendship that had its share of highs and lows. We all have seasons of loss. If you are not prepared to inspire or help others be better then this podcast is not for you.

Again, we have 24 hours a day and 86,400 seconds. Use them wisely because life has a way of switching up on you. When it does don’t hide just keep going and doing it afraid. God gives us the keen ability to use our time, our unique gift/talents and an equipped spirit to do hard things.

Until next time, be brave 💋

Coming in hot. 🔥Just chilling and laid back. Sharing how I continue to take up space and take care of this temple. It’s a hard job but I always like a challenge. Peer in as we learn how to continue to enhance what you do, when you do it and being disciplined to get it done. Being whole is a daily yet intentional practice. Daily habits will lead to greater tomorrows. Do I want to always eat healthy 🧘🥗 she said no 😁. However by doing some of these suggestions one day and one moment at a time is a recipe for good old fashion living. This is what I do and I am not perfect. Get your pen 🖊️ and notebook 📒 together. Start crafting 2023 remaining goals and jumpstart on 2024 goals. Stay beautiful and always lifted 💛#youcantellmenothing 🥰 Moderated by Nate Todd. 🖊️🎙️🎤

The Johari Window Perspective: 🪟

Podcast Family: Last Episode for Season 2. 👋👋

Having high emotional intelligence will definitely carry you faster further. Doing your shadow work is yours to own and hold. Therapy is one option to address hidden challenges and unaddressed pain but once the sessions are done then you have homework to do. Don’t opt out or get discouraged 🫤 when you don’t see progress progressing. Be intentional because the quest to being better never ends. We have seasons and there are lessons that we must learn. Don’t skip class because you are fearful of getting a failing grade or not measuring up. Believe you can and change is going to happen. Strive to better manage you to include your emotions and behaviors so when you manage others you don’t mismanaged them and ruin a cherished relationship. I am rooting for you 🏇🥰

The Proper Perspective 👠👠💋

The Proper Perspective 👠👠💋

Being not so tall is a challenge at times but I actually like it 👠👗🌸. However, when I wear heels I feel quite different because of the lift and the newfound perspective. It goes without saying to go further faster you have to be self aware and self manage yourself at all times. You can be but should not be a person who is not disciplined and lack control. Seek wisdom and you will gain much. Conduct introspection and that equates to winning half the battle. Don’t let anyone speak words over you specifically when they are not deemed correct but when you already know yourself. To thy own self remain and stay true. Meet you at the finish line. #blooming #winning-season #noexcuses😏🎙️🎙️

Level Up ⬆️ 📈

Level Up ⬆️ 📈

Self introspection is key to being better. The SWOT analysis is a simple yet effective tool to help you be better personally or professionally. When you increase your emotional intelligence, you show up 100% better as a whole and healthy person 🌸. Do your own shadow work by conducting an annual assessment. Again, I ruminated about how this sounded and what I can do to make this podcast better. It was recorded early in the year and as I listen to it now I hope it blesses you to know how you show up matters . The people who love you need you and that career needs what you only have to give. Don’t default on YOU but continue to #blooming. Until next time…Seen, Included and Worthy… The HR Word Wizard 🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️👠👠

The Self-Blaming Scripts ✏️💋

Here I go again! Being flawed and imperfect. I actually was ruminating on publishing this podcast. Quick to point out all that went wrong and what I said could have been way better. Get out of the way of your success and personal growth. Learn to go through it and grow through it too. Bloom 🌸🌸🌸. Break free of the desire to be perfect in the sight of others who are striving to do the same. The difference between you and others are you did not miss the lesson or the blessing. No preaching over here just telling you that if you dimmed your light in the past plan to redirect and strive to accept yourself more and more each day. I believe in you! Until next time….Included.

I love my daughter and I was going to feature this podcast next month but it dropped in my soul to do it today. I stay obedient.

We had so much fun and she brings me SO much joy. She is all straight no chasers respectfully of course. 🤩 It’s giving: honesty, telling all of my business 💋and Mother and Daughter conflict/resolution. I hope you glean a nugget or two.

Aging Backwards & Gracefully 💋💄


Beauty is SO cliche but it is defined as pleasing to the eye ( of the beholder) and a sense of uniqueness. I want to share some of my beauty hacks of tried and true methods I use personally to age gracefully. Maybe you might glean something new or say I do that too. That’s perfect.

As women, we have it so hard by towing this line at times. What you did as a person in your youth does not apply as you evolve in life.

How you handle YOU matters. A depleted you won’t survive personally or professionally too long. So, make it count each and every day by being intentional. #betterme. You will thank me later. 💋👠💄💌👗
