About

​

Hello and welcome!

​

I’m Tonya, and I’m genuinely grateful you’ve taken the time to stop by. Pull up a chair, and let’s get to know each other.
 

Have you ever felt like you were living someone else’s story?

​

That question changed everything for me. For most of my life, I lived in fear—fear of the unknown, fear of failure, even fear of truly living. Then, during an ordinary business meeting, something in me flipped. I realized I no longer wanted to pretend or play a part that wasn’t mine.

I quit my corporate job, embraced the solopreneur life, and began shedding outdated beliefs to step into who I was always meant to become.

​

My escape into words

​

Childhood held challenges no one should face. To cope, I lost myself in books—stories and poems became my sanctuary. Before long, I started writing my own tales and verses, crafting worlds where I could breathe freely.

​

That passion led to two proud milestones:

• My poem “Lost Souls” was published by Spark Light Press in June 2022.

• In January 2024, I contributed a chapter to The Caregiver Chronicles: 22 Family Caregivers Get Real About the Ties That Bind alongside 21 other authors.

Imperfectly authentic

​

I’m far from perfect—flaws and all. But I believe our stories, vulnerabilities, and hard-won lessons can light the way for others. Here, I share my life, my thoughts, and my experiences with honesty and heart.

​

If you’re looking for inspiration, encouragement, or simply a reminder that it’s okay to be yourself, you’re in the right place. Thanks for joining me on this journey. Let’s walk it together.
