We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Tania Denise “T.D.” Edwards, MBA a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Tania Denise “T.D.” thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

You know, sometimes life has a funny way of throwing curveballs at us, doesn’t it? For me, it all began a few years ago when I found myself grappling with the loss of a close friend. Her absence at a crucial moment in my life left me feeling not just hurt, but downright bothered. And then, tragically, she died when we weren’t on speaking terms.

That moment was like a wake-up call for me. It made me realize just how precious life is and how important it is to show agape love and support to those around us. So, I decided to pour my heart and soul into a book in her honor.

Writing “From Bothered To Unbothered” became my outlet, my way of making sense of the pain and finding a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

But let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. Far from it, actually. I faced doubts and fears at every turn, wondering if anyone would even care about what I had to say. But deep down, I knew I had a message that needed to be heard.

And you know what? The response blew me away. People from all walks of life reached out to me, sharing their own ‘Bothered’ stories. It was like a light bulb went off in my head – this was my calling, my purpose.

So, I took a leap of faith and decided to turn this into a full-fledged movement. The Unbothered Lifestyle brand came into its own, centered around the idea of finding peace and strength in the face of life’s challenges. Powe over stress, anxiety and fear.

Looking back, that defining moment – the loss of my friend – changed everything for me. It set me on a path of self-discovery, of searching for meaning in the midst of pain. And while the journey has been anything but easy, I wouldn’t change a single moment of it.

Because in the end, it’s not about the struggles or the setbacks. It’s about God’s will for our lives – the lessons we learn along the way, the connections we make, and the lives we touch. And if my story can inspire just one person to find hope in the darkness, then it’s all been worth it.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Well, I’m T.D. Edwards, and I’m all about empowerment and helping others find the power to overcome stress, anxiety, and fear through the Unbothered Lifestyle brand.

A few years back, I found myself at a crossroads after the loss of a dear friend. Her passing shook me to the core and made me realize just how fragile life can be. That’s when I decided to channel my grief into something positive – writing.

‘From Bothered To Unbothered’ wasn’t just a book for me – it was a labor of love, a tribute to my friend, and a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with life’s challenges. And boy, did it strike a chord! People from all walks of life reached out to me, sharing their own ‘bothered’ stories of struggle and finding peace in my words.

That’s when it hit me – this wasn’t just a book, it was a movement waiting to happen. This was the inspiration behind the Unbothered Lifestyle brand. We’re all about empowering individuals to take control of their lives, to find strength in the face of adversity, and to live unapologetically, unbothered by the noise of the world.

What sets us apart? Well, I like to think it’s our genuine passion for empowerment. We’re not just another brand – we’re a community, a support system, a family. And that’s something I’m incredibly proud of.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Absolutely, I talk about resilience in my book. A few years back, I faced a major setback in my career. Despite pouring my heart and soul into a project, it didn’t quite turn out as planned, and I felt like I had hit rock bottom. Doubt and fear crept in, and for a moment, I questioned whether I was on the right path.

But instead of letting the setback define me, I chose to view it as an opportunity for growth. I dusted myself off, gathered my strength, and went on a journey of self-discovery and reinvention.

Through perseverance and determination, I found new ways to approach my work and my life. I leaned on my faith, and embraced the support of my loved ones. Slowly but surely, I began to rebuild and reimagine God’s Will and purpose for my life.

Looking back, that moment of adversity was a catalyst for transformation. It taught me the power of resilience – the ability to bounce back stronger and wiser in the face of challenges. And while the road was rocky at times, it ultimately led me to where I am today – stronger, more determined, and unapologetically unbothered.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

You know, there’s this lesson I’ve had to unlearn along my journey, and it’s been quite the revelation for me. See, growing up, I was taught to measure success by the world’s standards – you know, the accolades, the titles, the material possessions. But as I grew older and deeper in my faith, I began to realize that true success isn’t found in those things.

I remember a time when I felt like something was missing despite all the outward signs of success. It was a moment of prayer and reflection that led me to understand that success, real success, comes from within. It’s about aligning our actions with God’s will, living out our purpose, and touching the lives of others in meaningful ways.

So, I had to unlearn this idea that success was all about what the world sees. Instead, I learned to focus on what God sees – the love we share, the kindness we extend, and the lives we impact. It’s about being authentic, living with integrity, and walking in faith every step of the way.

And you know what’s been most helpful in this journey? It’s been leaning into my relationship with God, surrendering to His plan, and trusting in His timing. It’s about seeking His guidance in all things and allowing His love to shape my perspective on success and fulfillment.

So, yes, unlearning that old notion of success and embracing God’s definition of it has truly been transformative for me. It’s brought a deeper sense of purpose, a greater peace, and a joy that surpasses all understanding. And I wouldn’t trade that for the world.
