        ————————

         

         

         

        Hey hey, I’m Emily Tanner.  I was widowed at age 37, one month shy of our 20 year wedding anniversary.  Nathan and I have four beautiful children together, and my world was turned completely upside down when I lost him.  

         

        Now, I love my life again!  I’m able to experience joy, achieve goals and dreams I thought I’d lost, and rediscover this next version of me.

         

        I did the work.

        I invested in coaching for myself.

        I learned what I needed to do to move forward and took the steps.

        I implemented the tools and strategies that I use for my clients in my coaching program.

         

         

        This is for you, if:

        •  You want a faith-based approach to coaching
        •  You want to move forward after loss, and aren’t sure how
        •  You want to enjoy life without feeling weighed down by guilt, sadness, or regret
        •  You want a guide to help navigate this journey to the next version of you
        •  You want to rediscover who you are
