About the Episode
Do you feel like you went from being a boundless youth to being a boxed-in adult? If so, you might relate to the story and lessons of my guest Tonya Fewell on Episode 46 of YOU Better! Tonya is a personal development & leadership strategist and a proud mom of three who shared gem after gem after gem in this interview. And her words will help you to shake off that box and start living as your freer self. Her role as a mother to her three children Briana, Evan, and Grace, plays greatly into her identity – she even professionally goes by the moniker “Mama T.” She recognizes her kids are at the center of so much motivation for her, but she also shares some of self-inquiry she had to do around the fact of her being an unmarried mother of three.
Tonya now walks other people through radical transformation – and that’s something she knows something about. She believes that a goal with a plan and a guide is the recipe for success. In our conversation she shares with me how she broke free from environments where she didn’t feel like she belonged and her strategic approach to living a life that honors who she actually is.
