We recently connected with Tanya J Miller and have shared our conversation below.

Tanya J, appreciate you joining us today. Can you recount a story of an unexpected problem you’ve faced along the way?

Crazy enough, as we were entering the Pandemic of 2020-2021, I was diagnosed and began fighting a completely different and silent Epidemic that most haven’t even heard of. Moreover, it’s one that as of 2021 almost a half million new people were being infected.

So what is this growing epidemic and debilitating disease that I am still fighting to remission is Chronic Neuro Lyme Disease. Until 2020, I hadn’t even heard of it, but now it’s a part of my everyday life.

It’s changed the way I have had to do life drastically, and also in my business. Prior to this, I was still able to work fulltime, and work my business part time. Now the challenge is being disabled, laid off, and now looking that I may never be able to go back to working a regular job because Lyme had no cure, unfortunately it also has a different meaning of remission because it doesn’t mean you go back to you used to.

But what keeps my fight and faith? My #LymeJourneyGodGlory won’t let me stop. Even in Lyme, my purpose, passion, vision and destiny are to still help individuals and organizations to help them to figure out how to fit the puzzle pieces of life. I do that because I know that each and every person and/or organization has the ability to do life and leadership unapologetically on purpose.

Tanya J, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My name is Tanya J. Miller of Tanya J. Miller, LLC and Talking with Tanya. I’m a Prophet that operates in the prophetic gift to be released as an author, speaker, coach, and strategist with a passion and promise for helping people and organizations figure out how to do life and leadership unapologetically on purpose.

My goal as the Prophetic Millennial Marketplace Voice is to speak, teach, reach, and/or strategize on topics that best resonate with your audience and the current needs of individuals and organizations looking to figure out their “what now life”. I understand and know the damages and trauma that life’s twist, turns, drops, pushes, and punches; IJS I get it frfr I do.

And the reason I know how to help you fit the puzzle pieces of life together, so they can do life right and well. This is only impart because I’ve lived it and I know what it looks, feels, and then learn to rebuild just the same. Thus, not just my reason, but my purpose to seek to encourage, motivate, and inspire with practical skills and knowledge to help them release their fears and rise to their potential.

Below, these may be topics I speak on, but each topic below speaks to.my heart, and the hart.of TJMLLC, see below:

*4 Pillars of TJMLLC: Purpose, Passion, Vision, and Destiny

– Tanya also shares the background of how she wrote the book from a personal place of trauma, and how her resilience and determination to come out of it and help others birthed this project and many others to come.

*Things My Mama Said
– This second book project means a whole lot to Tanya, that’s in part because her Mama and “play” Auntie wrote the forward; but moreover the project itself is a legacy written for her family members both here now, and those to come.
– Whether it’s taking responsibility for your actions or recognizing that sometimes other people’s needs are greater than your own, the stories in Things My Mama Said offer up some very profound insight in what some may find rather unorthodox ways, but it worked.
– These twenty tales, as told by author and life coach Tanya J. Miller about her own mother, will ultimately challenge you to be a better, wiser, and stronger person.
* These titles like “A Hard Head Makes a Soft Behind,” “Tell Me One More Time Something Ain’t Fair,” and “You Can’t Beat God’s Giving No Matter How Hard You Try” reveal a brilliant, clever, and outspoken parent who teaches her children about life before life does the teaching.

*The Pro Series
– This mini book and journal series is Tanya’s third book project. In it she says that when you think of ProVision, you could easily think we’re referencing supplies or providing for something or someone.
– Consequently, the context of ProVision we’re referring to is that of having your purpose validated.
* Meaning that you know why you’re here, and you’re working at doing it every day.
* ProVision to us is you seeing, knowing, loving, and doing your why.
* Your why speaks to who you are on the inside, and who you are is somebody with purpose and vision.

*A Right Mind Matters Diary Series & Workbook
– in Tanya 5th diary & workbook project, A Right Mind Matters because quite frankly it always does; any and every time, all day every day.
– Take this walk with me as we go through this Diary to be the tool you’ve for sure always needed and wanted.
– Not just to wander through life aimlessly, but to apply pressure all to do so unapologetically on purpose.
– Walk this walk, and leave knowing you’ve got the ARMM or needed for anything past, present or future.

In addition to being a guest on over 300+ podcasts, I have also been an emcee, speaker, panel participant, and inteviewee at countless conferences, events, and other such functions (large and small). A few clips can be found on my YouTube channel for your review.

I’d love to connect even the more either @ bit.ly/JOINFAM or @talkingwithtanya on social media.

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?

I actually love answering this question. The reason being is because I believe each and every person has the ability to have an entrepreneurial mind. And that message goes to the heart of my message and brand as a business, which is to help individuals and organizations to do life and leadership unapologetically on purpose.

So with that message, an avid and forever learner is the way to go because something I also say: purpose never grows old. So pull on any and all opportunities to grow. That’s why I am a forever learner of the late great Dr Myles Munroe, a true ambassador to the knowledge, teacher, and inquisitive Mind that we’ve lost, but luckily his legacy lives on.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

Between 2019 to 2020 (before COVID-19), my family had experienced so much loss that I literally lost count. Normally after a while, I’d just stop going to the funerals, but these were immediate family members like my big sister, my sister-in-law, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and friends.

To pivot, I had to take what me and one of my besties coined the phrase, but also a gathering we call: a moment for me. So as we both took time, we realized a partnership for this gathering would help so many other women. Thus, the pivot became for me: rest, healing, a new partnership, and the beginnings for topics of books that I’ll write; hopefully soon.
