Hi, I’m Tana 💗
Video introduction for vibes. But I guess I will tell you a couple things here… I’ve been a spiritual entrepreneur for 20 years. Spiritual development is a real passion for me. So is personal development and business. I’ve been doing a lot of deep healing work lately on some of my deepest core wounds to do with love and relationships. If anything has held me back over the years, it’s been this one. Like BIG time. I’ve lost 90 pounds in my healing journey. Oh yeah! I’m also 20 years clean and sober. And SO grateful. 🥰
In the past, I would work too hard to curate things like an introduction. I wanted to make sure I was in perfect control of how your impression of me sat in your head or your heart. Not trying to be defiant to the intro task lol, but as part of my healing journey, I promised I would just BE. So, I’m going to share something I wrote today and you can start to get to know me if you’d like 🙂
Thanks again, for the opportunity to connect with you in the community!

i went off the internet for seven months —
not because i gave up,
but because i finally went all the way in.
into the parts of me that still hurt.
before i tell you what i found, ask yourself:
what are you using to numb the ache?
what do you reach for when it gets quiet?
after i got clean, i couldn’t do a drug.
i couldn’t take a pill.
i couldn’t drink — not without losing everything i’d fought for.
so i ate.
i fed myself comfort, distraction, survival.
i tried to fill the silence that sobriety left behind.
for me, my pain was around romantic love —
the kind that makes you question your worth.
for years i said, “i feel enough for myself, but i don’t know if i’m enough for someone else.”
underneath that lived stories like:
love has to be given to me from someone else, but…
they didn’t want me. i wasn’t special. i’m not important. I never was.
i’ll always be too much or not enough.
those stories became my truth.
and when the heartbreak came, i didn’t know how to hold it —
so i held food instead.
each bite felt like a pause button on pain.
until the body that once carried my spirit
started carrying my sorrow instead.
then one day, even the numbness stopped working.
my reflection stopped looking like me.
and i couldn’t hide behind “someday” anymore.
that’s when everything changed.
every pound i’ve released carried a story i finally healed.
because when i faced them, i was free to rewrite them.
now my new stories sound like this:
i am chosen. i am special. i am important. i am enough. i am love.
the shot did the heavy lifting — sacred medicine that met me where i was.
after a year-long plateau, it said yes.
and together, we let go.
twenty pounds down since coming back online.
but the weight was never just physical.
it was emotional. spiritual. ancestral.
this glow isn’t just lighter — it’s freer.
proof that when healing and science hold hands,
divine intervention can look like a shot, a mirror, and a second chance.
we don’t have to suffer.
we get to heal.
