A Private Invitation Just For You
Give Yourself the Gift of Coming Home to Yourself
The Self Series is a four-part Guided Perspective Experience for women in a new season of life who are ready to explore, "What's next for me, and what do I really want now?"
You're invited to join The Self Series at a special community rate, created as a thank you for being connected to our community.
What is a Guided Perspective Experience?
A Guided Perspective Experience (GPE) is a facilitated virtual experience, held live on Zoom, designed to help you explore new perspectives, challenge the narratives that have been running the show, and connect with who you're becoming through guided reflection, meaningful conversation, and embodied insight and practice.
Unlike a webinar, class, or traditional workshop, a GPE isn't built around information transfer. It is an intentional space for reflection, perspective shifts, honest dialogue, and personal insight.
You'll leave with a clearer picture of what's been running on autopilot, a way to catch it in the moment, and a sense of how you'd rather be living instead.

Four Experiences
One Journey
Held live on Zoom, each Guided Perspective Experience stands complete on its own — join whichever experience calls to you. Together, they trace a natural arc: releasing what you've been carrying, reconnecting with desire, finding your ground, and stepping into your own authority. You don't have to move through them in sequence to receive the full value of any individual experience. And with each experience you add, the series breathes new life into you.

Participant Experiences
I attended the Liberated Self Women's Empowerment Workshop with Tanya and found it to be transformative. The workshop was a unique blend of reflection, discussion with Tanya and the other participants, and hands-on activities.
I appreciated the time, space, and open-ended approach to self-discovery that the workshop fostered. By the end of the day, I felt lighter in spirit and ready to embrace a new chapter.
Since the workshop, I have undertaken a big move to a new house—a move I was initially overwhelmed by—but, in the spirit of self-discovery fostered during the workshop, I embraced it with curiosity, fun, and joy.
I have also lost 12 pounds as I continue to prioritize my health and well-being. Finally, I am continuing to sharpen my boundary-setting skills, which have enhanced both my own growth and my personal and professional relationships.
Tanya has a true gift for this work, and as a participant, I remain grateful for this transformative experience.
-Kelly, The Liberated Self
Tanya was incredible! I didn’t know what to expect from her class. I already knew Tanya and have always gained so much value from every conversation with her, but I had no idea I was in for such a real treat.
As soon as I joined the Zoom session, it felt like a spa for the mind. I was able to unwind, slow down, and go deep within myself. Following Tanya’s guidance, I experienced a profound sense of connection not only with myself but also with the group.
You can tell Tanya is truly gifted. She creates a safe, welcoming space and genuinely cares about helping each person get the most out of the experience. Her passion, presence, and attention to everyone in the session really shine through.
I will definitely be attending her future sessions. Anyone who joins one of Tanya’s classes is in for something special. So warm up your herbal tea, put on your comfiest clothes, and get ready for a spa day for the mind.
Afterward, I slept like a baby. Thank you, Tanya, for such a beautiful and transformative experience!
6 out of 5 stars…highly recommended!

Coupled with the other experiences, I am having a profound shift in my awareness around my patterns, what they are, while they are happening, and how to interrupt them to help move me forward to who I really am.
-Cathy, The Grounded Self
Working through this piece of the series is really pushing me to reflect on my values more often and use the values that I am clearly the authority on—and never waver on—to springboard into helping myself do the same with the other values I struggle to truly be an authority on. It's allowing me to more fully be my authentic self and no longer compromise on my needs and wants.
