Christy Belz welcomes executive coach Tania Zeigler of Burn Bright Coaching & Consulting to explore how second chances show up not just in dramatic moments, but in the quiet, everyday choice to realign. Tania shares her journey from growing up Korean-American in small-town Wisconsin to a 17-year career at Kaiser Permanente, surviving a postpartum hemorrhage, and founding her own coaching practice. This is a candid conversation about identity, resilience, and what it means to stay open even when you're afraid.

Key Takeaways 

• Belonging as a Universal Need: Growing up as a minority in Wisconsin, Tania's longing to fit in was really a longing to belong — one she eventually learned to embrace. 
• Second Chances Are Quiet: Tania reframes them as everyday check-ins — small pauses to ask whether you're in alignment and what you want to choose next. 
• Joy and Fear Are Flip Sides: A life-threatening postpartum hemorrhage taught Tania that real courage means staying open even when you're most afraid. 
• The Meeting That Changed Everything: A staff meeting that imploded pushed Tania to reset and ask her team to tell her the truth — and every single one of them stayed. 
• Good Coaches Do the Work First: Tania believes you can't coach others through what you haven't faced yourself.
