Welcome to this episode of Empowered Conversations where I am So Excited to be talking with my friend, Tanya Horne!!

Tanya is a mother of 3 beautiful adult children and Gigi to her fabulous granddaughter Mila. She is a self appointed mental health advocate, taking her lived experiences of trauma and using it to cause important conversations, creating authentic connections.

One of the places she does outreach is as a street therapist at the Sit Down Stand Up Comedy Stand. She is an award winning speaker, a published author, a body positivity/diversity spokesperson, a facilitator and a coach.

This local comedian took to the streets just after Covid to bring herself out of isolation while hoping to help others bring more joy and kindness into their lives through using comedy as a tool to create opportunities for healing through humor.

Her love for people and her ability to meet people where they are at, is a powerful gift to withhold. Tanya utilizes her vulnerability as a superpower, connecting with others and showing up as all of who she is!

She is creating her great life, transitioning from a single parent empty nester with a "passionless" job and little knowledge about how she was going to make it work, to actualizing her life's dreams and being center stage in her own life!!!
