  • EP 226: Tanya Heath (Inventor of the convertible shoe)

    Send us Fan Mail

    Nothing pre-destined Tanya to become a fashion disrupter.  

    For 15 years she had a classic career in management consulting, technology start-ups, and private equity, while teaching innovation at one of France’s leading engineering schools, and raising her 3 kids.

    Yet, even as a child growing up in Canada, she was mesmerized by the art and artifacts that her parents would bring home after a vacation.  Antique wedding saris shared space with Inuit carvings nurturing a deep respect for ancestral craftsmanship, quality and natural materials.

    Tanya’s convertible shoe line combines her passion for innovation with her love of quality handmade products. Her brand was created to let women step forward in comfort and in style and there is a strong feminist agenda that permeates everything she does.

    Tanya has won awards in France and abroad, for innovation, business, design, and retail.  To keep production as local as possible and so that she can visit the artisans when she wants to, heels are made by hand in the Loire Valley and the shoes are made in a family run factory, in Sao Joao da Madira, Portugal.

  • EP 222: International Life Coach Mundey Young

    Send us Fan Mail

    My name is Mundey Young and I’m the proud owner of Mundey Young Coaching. As a life coach, I’ve spent years working with clients to ensure that they have the necessary skills, support, and compassion that they need to achieve their goals, become one with themselves, and live the life that they’ve always envisioned.

    My Story

    My professional story began at the age of 18 when I left my California home to join the United States Air Force. There I learned the skills of discipline, structure, and dedication and I can honestly say that this was one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made – even to this day. My time spent in the military provided me with a number of life skills that I would not have developed elsewhere. Organization, tolerance and dedication to overcoming stress and adversity top the list and in addition,my service helped me foster a stronger belief in myself and my own abilities. It brought me closer to my inner strengths, and it helped me get on the right track.Throughout my five years in the U.S. Air Force, I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska and Little Rock, Arkansas. Another perk to my service was the military’s GI Bill, or delayed education financing that allowed me to go to school later which became the life coaching education I currently practice and love today!
