We often internalize messages from mirroring that may not accurately reflect who we truly are. However, the beauty of group work lies in their ability to provide an accurate mirror for self-reflection. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor speaks with Tanya Cole-Lesnick. Tanya is a psychotherapist turned transformational coach whose journey from personal struggle to professional fulfillment fuels her mission to empower others. Tanya’s path began in her mid-twenties when she sought therapy to navigate love life challenges, initially grappling with shame and vulnerability. Embracing group therapy led to profound insights, culminating in both personal growth and a career shift from graphic design to social work. With nearly three decades of experience, she facilitates emotional growth through therapeutic groups and innovative coaching techniques. Her Activate coaching program empowers individuals to clear obstacles and build lives aligned with their deepest aspirations. Beyond coaching, Tanya offers life-changing retreats, inviting women to rediscover play, creativity, and connection. We’re excited to have Tanya with us to discuss clearing energetic clutter and the power of group work.
