I’m Tasha.
I am a life & creativity coach, educator, and writer.
Whether the reason for a life change is planned or surprising, conversation and creativity can support each person working toward a clearer picture of what might be next.
Our lives are full of stories
Stories we tell ourselves.
Stories we were told about ourselves.
Stories that leave us feeling stuck, sad, or lost.
Stories we’d love to craft.
No matter how much of your story has been written, there is always time to change the narrative.
We often don’t realize how much we aren’t speaking up until we try to do it again.
Tutoring
The kind of voice to share research, present arguments, and explore topics at varying depths tends to be quite a bit different than the way we speak. For some people, early experiences in academic writing can feel inauthentic because we aren’t used to reading and writing our thoughts in this way. Just like we get weirded out when we hear a recording of our own voice, it’s new and different. But that doesn’t mean we are bad writers.
Editing
Most readers know the feeling of opening a new book, reading the first sentence, and being hooked. Whether it is a new-to-us author or a familiar favorite, there is something about how the words in front of us sound that makes us want to keep reading, that sparks a desire to get to know these imaginary people better. If the dream of publication is one you have, becoming familiar with an authorial voice is important.
Coaching
Sometimes, when we spend so much time trying to “keep the peace,” we don’t say what we want, what we feel, what we know to be true. This can include delaying schooling plans to support a spouse, saying we don’t like a band because someone isn’t a fan, or staying in a relationship where we aren’t happy because we couldn’t find enough things wrong to leave. Uncertainty and nervousness don’t mean something is wrong or bad; in fact, it often means we are on the cusp of something new and potentially wonderful.
