This episode is for the woman who’s felt weary, wounded, or disillusioned by religious culture yet still longs for authentic connection with the Divine — this is your invitation to return to the foundations of truth, love, freedom, and soul restoration.

In this episode, Tanya shares the heart behind Living Beautifully — and why this isn’t just another “Christian podcast.” She opens up about her own journey into coaching, how her faith foundations were reshaped through seasons of upheaval, and why learning to calm the chaos within begins with remembering that God is never surprised.

Bethany and Tanya also touch how crisis impacts the brain — exploring the roles of the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and hippocampus — and how emotional overwhelm can short-circuit our ability to think clearly, connect deeply, and discern spiritually. Tanya shares how anchoring ourselves in spiritual truths restores balance to the mind, steadiness to the body, and space for genuine spiritual direction to unfold.

This is a confrontational conversation — not for the sake of controversy, but for clarity. Together, we’ll challenge false doctrines, cultural distortions, and performative faith systems that have veiled the simple, transformative message of Jesus. Tanya reminds us that Jesus didn’t come to start a religion, but to restore us into relationship — with God, ourselves, and one another.
