Hey, I’m Tanyell!

I’ve been a certified Life Coach and therapist since 2005, but long before I had a title, I knew I was called to help people break down the walls in their lives. I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, a Bachelor’s in Psychology, and specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. But more than anything, I bring heart, lived experience, and a passion for helping people live outside the box.

I am the author of the book ARRIVE that shares lessons and inspiration from my own journey of breaking down walls and choosing freedom. Alongside my husband, we own and operate an indoor play space that brings joy and connection to the community. When I’m not coaching or running my business, I pour my creativity into writing, creating YouTube content, and capturing the everyday magic of life with my children.

I’m married to the love of my life, and together we’ve built a big, beautiful family of 12 children here on earth, with two baby angels in heaven. Our life is rooted in faith, love, and intentional choices — from homeschooling and natural births to attachment parenting and nontraditional living. I believe in nurturing strong family bonds, keeping marriage spicy, and empowering women to honor their true identity while living boldly beyond social constructs.

My mission is to help you break free from the walls and boxes society tries to trap us in. We’re told to follow the rules, fit the mold, and settle for “normal” but that often leaves us stuck, unhappy, and disconnected from who we really are. I want to help you step into a life that feels bold, organic, and true. A life where you get to be the unicorn in a field of ponies.

Whew…I hope you find some interesting, intriguing, and somewhat irritating information here that will inspire and motivate you to move beyond the walls.
