i want my crown

I help women rebuild self-trust after the experiences that made them question themselves.

Maybe it was.

The woman who has spent years:

Or maybe it started much earlier.

Hi, I'm Tanya, Thinking Partner, Mentor & Coach. 

But somewhere along the way, life taught her to stop trusting herself.

So you can step into your next chapter:

The expectation to be “good.”
The pressure to be perfect.
The criticism you never forgot.
The moment someone made you feel too much...
Or not enough.

The years spent quietly editing yourself to fit into rooms you were never meant to shrink for.

The moments that changed the way you saw yourself.

Because you’re not here to become someone new.

You’re here to come back to yourself.

The job loss.
The toxic workplace.
The leadership pressure.
The career transition.
The business challenge.

✔️ Holding everything together.

✔️ Being the dependable one.

✔️ Proving she’s capable.

✔️ Meeting everyone else’s expectations.

✔️ Building the career.

✔️ Supporting everyone else.

✔️ Doing all the things she thought she was supposed to do.

Because the woman you’re looking for?


Maybe it’s time you stopped waiting for permission…

And took your crown back.


The courage you had before the world taught you to question it.

The voice you had before you learned to silence it.

The confidence you had before life convinced you it wasn’t safe to fully trust yourself.





Together we reconnect you with:

As you.

She didn’t disappear.

She’s been here the whole time.

The new role.
The promotion.
The career change.
The business you’re building.
The life you’re creating.
 






Not as the version of yourself you created to survive old chapters.
 






For the woman with a tiny, stubborn part of her still whispering: “This isn’t the whole story.”

Remember who the f*ck you were before the world taught you to doubt yourself.

about your coach

Hello, I'm Tanya Sturges

So I understand both how the mind works… and how the working world actually operates.

I’m a 40-something Scottish introvert. An empath. A Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). A chronic pain warrior. Cat Mum. And an unapologetic lover of pink, tulle skirts, glitter, cake, and tiaras.

A little bit sweary… sometimes sarcastic. I’ve been told that being an empath is what makes me a great friend and coach.

I’ve been coaching since 2017 (accredited since 2020). But my work didn’t start there. It started long before that.

First with bullying at school, followed by the challenges of navigating a male-dominated working environment and senior leadership role in my 20s.

I’ve overcome imposter syndrome, bullying, discrimination, job loss, menopause at work, and the challenge of navigating full-time work with a chronic illness and disability.

I have a degree in psychology, coaching qualifications, 15 years’ experience in HR, recruitment, and leadership, and 9+ years of coaching experience.

During my career in HR and coaching, I’ve supported people through some of the biggest workplace, economic, and societal shifts of the last two decades.

I’ve worked and coached through multiple eras of uncertainty, change, pressure, and reinvention.


Now, I’m a Thinking Partner, Mentor and Coach. I’m accredited, experienced, and trauma-informed.

I blend psychology, neuroscience, and mindset coaching.




Especially those who've been knocked by life's challenges.

I don’t just coach from theory. I coach from lived experience. From the unravelling, the rebuilding, and everything it took to find my way back.




To bring out the best in people.

work with me

This isn’t about surface-level strategies. This is deep subconscious work.
 
Using psychology, neuroscience, and mindset coaching, we gently rewire how you think at the root. So your mind stops working against you and starts working for you.

Transforming not just what you do, but how you process, decide, lead, and respond in the moments that matter.


We meet regularly, and talk. I listen, support, ask good questions and gently challenge your thinking.

And you finally hear yourself without the fear, pressure, shame, overthinking, or noise layered on top.

Together, we spot the stories, patterns, and beliefs that taught you to forget who you are.

And we finally start changing them.



We rebuild the relationship you have with yourself.
