It's Time for You (and Me!) to Shine. Go Ahead, Be the Star…of Your Own Life
The “Step Into Your Starring Role” Project
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Welcome to my shiny happy new home. Isn’t it something? Don’t you want to spend, like, ALL your time here?
Okay, maybe that’s just me.
But I hope it’s not just me…because really, I put this site together for you.
Because I want you to step into your starring role.
Shine, Baby, Shine
Did you see the message at the top of this page?
Life is a grand production.
Yup, that. And what I mean by that is this:
Your life, as it is now, has been the preparation - the production – needed to launch your next project.
The project where you step into your starring role and your radiance lights up the world.
Project Life, Well Lived. Project You.
‘Cept I know that for you, it isn’t all about you. Your most glorious project – your life – isn’t the “The Me-Me-Me Show”. Instead, your grand production – and mine, too – is about creating and contributing to a better world by becoming a better person.
It’s the mama+oxygen mask theory. If (god forbid) you’re ever on a plane in an emergency situation (oh, those pesky snakes on a plane!), you put your mask on, first. Because by staying conscious, engaged, and intentional, you’re able to use your life help others.
And that’s what today is all about…for you and me.
I launched this grand production – my coaching practice of several years and now this brand-spanking-new site – so I could step into my starring role…
…which is help you shine, by
supporting you as you step into your most glorious, productive, purposeful self
AND
empowering you to use your life and your gifts to instigate change and instill joy.
For yourself and the world. And that’s the grand production I’m on about:
LIFE, starring YOU.
It’s a Joyful, Gratitude-Fueled Journey
If you’ve read my signature guide to the good life, The Joy Pages, you know that I’m rock-solid-certain that
-
connecting to your core values,
-
aligning your life with your values,
-
infusing your life with joy, and
-
radiating gratitude
are the building blocks of the life-stage on which you stand, deliver…and shine.
So right off the top, I must thank Amanda and Kelly for working their red+purple magic. The colours! The message! The groove! Oh…I’m so happy.
These incredible women worked tirelessly on this baby. In fact, speaking of babies, Amanda was still doing a spit-shine on this (virtual) baby between contractions for her (real, live) baby. (Congratulations, honey!) THAT is dedication. And Kelly held my hand during every little bump and managed to made it roller-coaster fun.
So. Clearly I’m happy.
Let’s Celebrate Our Grand Production…with a Premiere
Which means I want to make YOU happy.
That’s my mission (talk about aligning values + action…) as a coach and that’s what this site is all about.
You becoming your most intentional, purposive, radiant you.
And THAT is cause for celebration.
So to celebrate the premiere of our (yours ‘n mine) grand production, I invited my magnificent, magnanimous friends DyanaValentine, Jamie Ridler, Michelle Ward, Pam Slim, Amanda Oaks, Jen Louden, Danielle LaPorte, Carrie Klassen, Tara Gentile, and Kelly Diels to the party.
And they came bearing gifts.
…So OF COURSE There’s A Swag Bag
Yup, each of these gorgeous, generous women contributed their talents, time and services to make this premiere a premier event.
And I’ve poured all their love and and excellence into one super-fabulous, celebratory, giveaway swag bag.

Just found your site – looks so exciting – I am going to have to look into it more.
Welcome! Make yourself at home…
This site so beautifully captures you, at least as well as any virtual home could. How you radiate beauty and love in real life, in flesh and blood, can’t be captured…
May this new home online be the beginning of so many people receiving the gifts you offer as a coach, woman and human being.
With love,
Julie
What a blessing: your words and you. Thank you, for the full expression. xo

Congrats on this beautiful site! It is fresh, compelling and creative. I look forward to reading more about you and learning together.
This just made me jump for joy! Seriously, your space feels like a honest, authentic, yummy home! I am totally stepping into my Starring Role and submitting a video! xoxox
Kandice
And I cannot WAIT to see what gorgeousness you produce. YIPPEE!!
I totally realized I was supposed to be putting link to my video in the Mr. Linky above! I will make sure to add my url again once my vid is complete
Tanya, your new site is fabulous and your launch has been inspiring and full of joy!
I created a video that I hope is what you’re looking for. It’s not attached to either of my sites, since it doesn’t really fit with either of them.
You see, I have this big project I need to create, and I need to do a *lot* of things that I haven’t done before to make it happen… all while I continue my (virtually) daily photo posts, and continue to run my business. The swag bag of awesomeness could definitely help me out with this!! It’s going to be an amazing collaborative experience that I really hope you’ll participate in, even if I’m not the recipient of any of the gifts.
Best of luck and love to all of the participants. Hugs and butterflies,
~Teresa~
So excited to pour myself a tea and soak up your video. Thank you, for showing up. So fully and completely. XO
I think my submission was to serious! haha So, here’s a blooper reel for you: http://youtu.be/3J1uySYksos
