    Episode 177 ~ The Art of Trusting What Is: Remembering Who You Are

    Episode 177 ~ The Art of Trusting What Is: Remembering Who You Are What if nothing about you needs fixing? In this first episode of the year, Tanya opens a new chapter of Rising Inner Shift by exploring the art of trusting life exactly as it is — even when it’s uncomfortable, unclear, or not unfolding the way we planned. This episode is an invitation to slow down, surrender control, and listen more deeply to the quiet intelligence within you. The part of you that knows how to respond, not react. The part of you that remembers who you are beneath conditioning, expectations, and “shoulds.” Together, we explore: Why transformation happens on the other side of discomfort How surrender is not giving up, but releasing the illusion of control What it really means to trust yourself in the midst of uncertainty Why alignment restores energy, clarity, and ease And how remembering who you are changes the way you move through life This episode also introduces an upcoming Human Design series, where we’ll explore how understanding your unique energetic blueprint can help you make decisions, honor your natural rhythm, and live in greater harmony with yourself and with others. If you’ve been feeling friction, burnout, or a quiet sense that there must be another way… this episode is for you. Take a breath. Trust what’s unfolding. And begin again.🌿 Ready to Go Deeper?

    Episode 176: What Story Are You Willing to Rewrite as You Enter 2026? Releasing old identities, reclaiming self-trust, and stepping forward with clarity, focus, and direction As we approach 2026, many of us are carrying stories about ourselves that quietly shape our choices, our energy, and our sense of direction—stories that may no longer be true.

Drawing inspiration from deep self-inquiry, nervous-system awareness, and the insights shared in Key lessons to enter 2026 with clarity, focus, and direction, this episode explores: How outdated identities keep us stuck in familiar patterns Why clarity comes from alignment—not hustle The role of the nervous system in decision-making How to rebuild self-trust and reclaim personal power What it truly means to let go in order to move forward This episode is not about fixing yourself.It’s about releasing what no longer belongs—and choosing your next chapter with intention. ✨ Reflection Prompt:As I enter 2026, I am no longer the person who _____.I am becoming the person who _____.

    Episode 175, The Wisdom of Touch: Listening to the Body’s Path to Healing with Jenika

    Episode 175, The Wisdom of Touch: Listening to the Body’s Path to Healing with Jenika What if healing didn’t start with fixing—but with feeling? In this episode of Rising Inner Shift, I sit down with my friend Jenika, a certified massotherapist (CMT) who has been practicing since 2014 and offering in-home massage experiences designed to meet clients where they feel safest—physically and emotionally. Jenika is also the founder of The Self-Care Bully, a brand created to remind us that caring for ourselves is not a luxury, but a necessity. Her approach to massage therapy goes far beyond relaxation, focusing instead on nervous system regulation, intentional touch, and the body’s innate capacity to heal when it feels safe and supported. Together, we explore how stress, trauma, and emotions are stored in the body, why so many high-achieving women feel disconnected from their physical selves, and how body-based practices can help restore trust, presence, and balance. ✨ In this episode, you’ll discover: How the body holds onto emotional and energetic experiences Why nervous system regulation is foundational to healing The deeper role of massage therapy beyond muscle relief How in-home, intentional touch can support emotional release Simple ways to reconnect with your body in everyday life If you’ve been living in your head, pushing through stress, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode is a gentle invitation to slow down and listen. 🔗 Connect with Jenika and learn more about her work here Follow Jenika on IG and on Facebook 🎧 Tune in and allow this conversation to shift the way you relate to your body—and your healing. ✨ Ready to take your reflection deeper?

    Episode 174 ~ Healing After Unimaginable Loss: Theresa James on Grief, Faith, Resilience & Purpose

    Episode 174 ~ Healing After Unimaginable Loss: Theresa James on Grief, Faith, Resilience & Purpose In this deeply moving episode of Rising Inner Shift, Tanya sits down with Theresa James, author of Healing Tears, to explore what healing looks like after unimaginable loss. In the summer of 1998, just days after her divorce was finalized, Theresa’s ex-husband broke into her home and murdered their three children before taking his own life. Theresa lived with this story in silence for nearly twenty years—focused not on retelling tragedy, but on surviving, healing, and rebuilding her life. This conversation is not about fear or trauma alone. It is about resilience, faith, grief recovery, and how purpose can emerge from the deepest pain. Theresa shares how seeking a deep connection with the divine and surrounding herself with like-minded, compassionate people became central to her healing journey—and how those same values led to a profound friendship between her and Tanya. This episode is for anyone who: Is navigating grief, loss, or trauma Wonders if healing is possible after devastating experiences Is seeking meaning, faith, or spiritual connection during difficult seasons Needs a reminder that they are not alone ✨ Trigger warning: This episode includes references to murder and suicide.
