We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Taylor Bonga a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Taylor, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Is there a heartwarming story from your career that you look back on?

In my career, I’ve gotten to know some brilliant women very deeply. It takes time to build relationships of such rapport and vulnerability and trust. One of those brilliant lifelong clients wrote to me recently. After years of 1:1 work, doing the inner healing and 2 cohorts of my Modern Mama Mastermind, she writes, while on vacation in Mexico in a remarkably beautiful beachside mansion:

“I wanted to check in and just say thank you for teaching me all of these tools. I’ve been overwhelmed by all the vacation people … my introverted mind was on overload. Today I told my partner I needed a break. I went to the roof alone and did a lovely meditation, stretched, tapped and feel like a new human.”

Who can relate, right?! I sure can. It’s messages like these that keep me so invested in continuing to offer these deeply enriching experiences. They provide a fresh new way of life that offers us all more peace within.

Taylor, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I got into this industry by virtue of seeking my own inner healing. After a deep dive to psychotherapy, studying with Gabby Bernstein, obtaining 6 different coaching certifications and falling in love with how I felt after years of personal development, I knew there were more people who needed this powerful work in their lives. Over the years, I’ve refined my body of work to helping mothers, family leaders and adult children of alcoholics break free from reactive behaviors and heal their hearts, so they can love themselves better and enjoy raising good humans again.

The reason my work is so unique and something people embark on after years of therapy, is, I work within the subconscious mind and energy field. The modalities I offer allow us to create sustainable shifts from within that aren’t available in talk therapy, alone. I am also naturally designed for this type of work. Holding space for deep transformation is where I thrive and succeed. As an intuitive, empathic person, I meet people where they’re at, read their energy, ask the right questions and go to the depths of the uncomfortable so they can heal what’s been hurt and restore their peace.

I am most proud of my 96% customer satisfaction rate, the client testimonials that continually roll in and how much I’ve grown as solo entrepreneur over 3 years time.

The main things I’d like potential clients to know about me, my brand and my work is that it’s safe to be seen and when you allow yourself to be vulnerable, you access a superpower from within that shapes your entire life for the better.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy for growing my clientele has been through word of mouth, hosting local events, staying consistent in showing up on social media and sharing with friends and family about the work I do.

I know that seems simple, but it takes a lot of courage to continually put yourself out there, especially when you aren’t seeing the results you set goals for.

But if you think of it like this, when you get super clear on the problem you help people solve, why wouldn’t you share? For example, if someone you knew opened a new daycare, wouldn’t you be sharing with all the parents of young children you knew?

It’s the same for this service. I know mothers and adult children of alcoholics are struggling. It’s a very taboo and secretive field to be in, but the reality of it is, when someone who’s in those shoes shares with someone else or finds me on social media, then there is a good chance they will resonate because there isn’t anything else like this out there. so it’s super important to not only clarify your message, but continually share your story as well.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

I think it is super important and helpful to be embodied in the work you do. I’ve talked to many therapist who are like “ya, I teach that to my clients, but need to practice it myself.” It’s so disheartening to hear that because I pride myself on being in integrity with the work we do. Everything I teach or take people through is something I have done/do in my life. I can feel an incongruence with providers who don’t walk the walk and believe it shows.
