“You only get one shot, do not miss your chance…”

In this episode of Tawana Talks, Tawana is flipping the script on the idea that we only have “one shot” to get things right. She explores what it really means to live with urgency—but also with grace.

Sharing a personal story about how a very personal taught her that active accountability isn’t just about getting things right. It’s about what you choose to do after you stumble, and how you show up for others along the way.

Listen and dive into parenting, leadership, and relationships with grace.

In this episode, Tawana dives into the unexpected lessons our children teach us about love and listening. With humor and heart, she reflects on breaking free from the “seen but not heard” mindset of Generation X and embracing a more intentional, faith-driven approach to motherhood and leadership. Ready to transform how you connect with your kids and those you lead? Tune in and discover three practical ways to build stronger relationships by truly hearing them.

Ever feel like you're running around trying to do it all, but deep down, you're questioning why you're even doing half of it? In this episode, we're calling out the true Imposter Among Us—that sneaky voice that convinces us we need to be supermom, superwoman, and just super everything.

Join me as I share a hilarious (and painfully relatable) story about what happens when there is an Imposter Among Us.

I’m unpacking the unrealistic expectations we place on ourselves as women, as moms, and in life, and why trying to be everything to everyone is not the flex we think it is. Plus, I’m giving you some real talk and practical tips on how to graduate from overworking yourself to embracing freedom.

So, who’s the real imposter?

Why do we yell? And why is it so hard to stop? 

In this episode Tawana dives deep into the psychology behind yelling, exploring what triggers it, why it’s often our default reaction, and the impact it has on us as moms. 

Tawana breaks down the difference between ‘yelling at’ and ‘yelling for,’ giving insight into when yelling might actually be necessary, and when it’s a sign we need to turn down the heat.

She’s covering cultural and historical reasons behind why we raise our voices, and sharing her own practical, in-the-moment strategies for minimizing yelling when your patience is wearing thin. 

Whether you’re struggling with daily frustrations or looking for ways to create a more peaceful home environment, this episode is packed with real talk and helpful tools.

Tune in and learn how to turn down the volume without losing your voice as a mom. 🌷
