After years of addiction, violence, and spiritual warfare, Tanya’s breaking point became her turning point. Born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, Tanya’s early years were marked by chaos — witnessing violence in her home, enduring sexual assault, and growing up under the weight of generational pain. Addiction crept in early, consuming her as she tried to escape the trauma she didn’t yet have words for. From surviving an abusive relationship and losing her sister and mother to standing face-to-face with her own darkness, Tanya’s story reveals the raw truth of healing. She describes the night she heard a voice say, “That’s enough. I’ll take it away,” — a moment that ended her addiction and began her spiritual awakening. Now clean, Tanya runs her own business, Tanya’s Tarot and Reiki, reading for people across the world and helping others find light in the places they once feared to look. This episode is about surrender, spiritual awakening, forgiveness, and the long road from trauma to transformation. ============= Buy us a coffee! buymeacoffee.com/hardknoxtalks ============= Sponsors + Social Links SEIU-West: https://www.seiuwest.ca/ Wellness News: https://qrco.de/bbapw8 Bunny Hugs and Mental Health: https://linktr.ee/bunnyhugspodcast Parenting in the Storm: https://www.hardknoxtalks.com/parenting-in-the-storm Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hardknoxtalks Hard Knox Talks: https://hardknoxtalks.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hardknoxtalks/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hardknoxtalks?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hardknoxtalkspodcast/ Bunny Hugs and Mental Health - https://linktr.ee/bunnyhugspodcast For business or speaking inquiries: [email protected] =============== Reach out to Tanya https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063767846390&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=m4hCS4ecKRuncddo&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F1GVWi37nPB%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr# 00:00:00 – The voice that stopped her addiction 00:00:39 – Growing up in Regina and family history 00:01:36 – Witnessing violence and early trauma 00:05:59 – The misinterpretation of faith and forgiveness 00:07:59 – Spiritual warfare and the first encounter with darkness 00:13:00 – Teenage rebellion and addiction begins 00:15:40 – Father’s return and self-destruction 00:17:33 – Addiction deepens: crack, chaos, and gangs 00:20:37 – Losing her sister and spiraling further 00:27:49 – Spiritual intervention: “That’s enough” 00:39:23 – The struggle to heal and early sobriety 00:41:33 – Grieving, self-reflection, and ceremony 00:45:12 – Parenting through healing and imperfection 00:49:52 – Letting go of anger and expectations 00:51:51 – Turning pain into purpose 00:55:42 – Healing lineage and raising whole children 00:57:15 – Building a business from recovery and belief 01:01:15 – Using trauma to help others 01:03:25 – Final reflections on faith, choice, and healing
