We recently connected with Tynesia Heath and have shared our conversation below.
Tynesia, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
I found my purpose after I left an abusive relationship.
I was with someone who didn’t respect me, didn’t show up for me and put a lot of blame on me for who I was and the way I wanted to live.
I fully felt controlled and isolated from the people I loved and cared about.
I thought I was doing it out a place of love and respect to my partner, but I learned, that I was doing it out of fear and people pleasing.
I was cheated on and lead to believe that nothing I did was right and it was all my fault. I was told how awful I was and how I could never do anything right.
All of these moments were mixed into small crumbs of what I thought was love. Small crumbs left to keep me attached and that things weren’t as bad as I made them to be in my head. I fed myself lies and let myself rot in the things I thought I deserved.
The thing that changed it all was getting pregnant with my child. I didn’t want to keep it, but he begged me, BEGGED me to keep it and told me how he would leave me and never speak to me again if I did choose to terminate. I was so desperate for his love I kept this baby to keep us together. And things just got worse from there in our relationship.
After my child was born I couldn’t handle it anymore. I couldn’t be with someone who treated me this way and watch my child watch me go through this.
From there I was a different person. One who wanted nothing more than to advocate for myself and all the people who have felt this way and want nothing more than to just be loved and happy. I just wanted to give people their power back and refuse to be looked down on by ANYONE. Especially the people who wanted to control and have power over them. I
I just never wanted someone to feel like they were stuck and powerless.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I’m Tynesia, (tah-niece-ee-yuh), a certified Life Coach with specialized training from the Somatica Institute® as a Sex and Relationship coach. My mission revolves around empowering individuals to establish and nurture healthy boundaries, particularly focusing on supporting neurodivergent and queer communities that often face obstacles in accessing the resources necessary to embrace their authentic selves.
In my coaching practice, I’m deeply committed to facilitating a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. By navigating the complexities of relationships and fostering a deeper understanding of personal boundaries, I aim to guide individuals towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. My joy stems from guiding people to cultivate a positive relationship with their decisions, bodies, and minds.
I do 1:1 and group coaching to help people find their power and become more intune with their authentic self!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
I think the three skills or qualities that really helped me in my field are my attunement, my empathy and my patience.
I think these three things make people feel connected to, they want to tell you what is going on because they truly feel inside of them that you are there to listen to them and help them become the person they have always wanted to be. I am the type to gently push when needed and give a reality check in the other moments. Sometimes you just need that person in your corner who is going to tell you how it is and tell you what is going to make a difference for you.
My job is never to try to change your mind, my job is to make sure you are doing the things that YOU want to do with full understanding and making choices that are fully yours. It is never my job to judge you for the things that you want to do with your life.
If you want to stay with a partner that is a little difficult to cooperate with, that’s okay we will work on communication and figure out how to have you come together to build more.
If you want to completely change how you date and who you date as you swipe through apps. LETS GO! I am so ready to support you and help you find exactly what you are looking for.
Your authentic expression and true self is all I want to shine.
Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?
The book I find the most impactful and something I still quote and think about is Atomic Habits by James Clear.
To me that book feels like the scientific breakdown of manifestation. And as someone who loves to blend the science with the witchy, I love that. I love that it shows you the very minute breakdown of how to achieve your dreams and work toward a you that is happy and successful.
The 1% a day aspect is something I stick by. If I can do 1 thing a day that gets me closer to my dreams, that 1% is what builds and builds until you start to see exponential change. So when it comes to working with my clients, no action is too small, just as long as there is action.
