I attended one of Tanya’s Trauma-Informed Leadership sessions. The session was informative, authentic, relatable, and informed by Tanya’s deep-lived experience and knowledge. Tanya’s work is hugely important and I recommend working with her to get ahead of the curve in an area that everyone needs to be across. Tanya is also just so lovely, sparkly, and generous.
