Life after divorce: I have not been honest….

By Tatyana Gann

coachphoto1

I have not been honest with myself until….

I have not been honest with myself until I looked at my sons and said…”Heck…what am I doing? Where am I going”? I tell my kids to follow their passion and do what they desire…yet I let my desire slip away…

This thought has been on my mind for a long time. “Me, Tatyana…a woman who inspires people to be better and more…how can I NOT be honest with myself?”

I forgot what it was like to be honest …with one person I should honor the most –  ME. As I was looking at myself in the mirror putting my favorite makeup on, I saw a 40 year old woman who has always believed that honesty was the best policy , even if it would hurt others temporarily. I knew honesty would save myself and others from a long term emotional pain but I was afraid to make a quantum leap to accept myself as I was and just be “authentic me”. I let my divorce and other life trials steer me away from my dreams and I experienced major struggles in my heart. I had to stop it. I had to do it for my sake and my kids sake…YET my divorce pushed me forward to be honest with myself and what I truly craved in life- to love myself and accept who I was and what I loved doing. Drastic life changes either make you or break you. It is a choice. Being true to yourself can set you free.

Then one day I was reading an email from one of the leading coaches that got my attention. She said ONE SINGLE word that made a shift in my entire being – DESIRE. I felt it in every cell of my body. I saw a movie in my head of what had happened in my life to get me to where I was and who I became and where I was heading…

I have always told my coaching clients one thing “ TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF”…Today I had a big aha moment- taking care of yourself starts with honesty. Pure raw honesty that makes you cry from joy that you finally have some guts to say what you want to say and be what you want to be. You let your heart sing your song…you simply do not let the songs of others control your life.

Deep inside I knew what I wanted in life. I envisioned it. I trusted…but then sabotaged myself not because I was not worthy. But because I was not honest with my desire to be who I was destined to be – a coach, an inspirational writer, and the best MOM. When you embrace your desire and go with it your perception of the challenges changes. Challenges become fun and you seek the ways to overcome them. When you hate what you do, challenges become burdens and you have to push so hard that it stresses you out and you want to quit.

The beauty of your life journey…

You see it all starts with a raw authentic desire. Desire to live a real life. Desire to have the best things in life. Desire to love and be loved. Desire to find a soul mate and live in your passion doing what you love.

The TRUTH IS….

I love life coaching. It is one of my passions to serve people. I love to see people lives transform. Their mindset shifts. They see somebody cares enough to be compassionate and kind to them to show them how to move forward and make good choices in life.  They are afraid to love, live and laugh. They forget what is like to matter in somebody’s else life and they forget that they matter with their story, their desire, their passions. They might even believe they live in a fantasy world according to their friends’ opinions and they need someone to tell their dreams do matter.

I have talked to many men and women in my coaching and consulting work. They all want one thing – to do what they desire. They want passion in life. They want to matter. But it will NOT happen unless you are honest with who you are.

Ask yourself what you TRULY desire.

Ask yourself what would it look like?

Be child like.

As Proverbs in the Bible says “Where there is no vision life perishes….” Why do we put a vision on the back burner and forget our own song of life. We let others ‘ song lead us….and we just become the shy followers. No. we are meant to shine. We are meant to be the light God wants us to be.

Everything starts with our desires. Do not push them so deep inside of you and hide it that you forget about them or embarrassed by them.

Honesty is so important w hen it comes to asking yourself “What do I truly want in life?” It starts right there in your heart.

  • Knowing what you really want and being ok with it is honesty.
  • When you can be honest with yourself you become honest with others and meet other people who are honest with you. You start trusting that you will be guided to the right resources and people to help you with achieving it.
  • You will be focused on finding solutions and you will be motivated by your desire that came from a honest heart.
  • Somehow things will work out because you have been honest with yourself and that matters the most.

What you desire may not happen right away but you will be on your path. You will learn new things, experience new things, meet new people that will connect the dots to achieve what you desire.

The good thing happens when we are honest with ourselves – we become open to new adventures, and we are no longer afraid to get out and claim what we have been hiding in our heart for so long.

Honesty with others is awesome. But the awesome sauce, as my son Daniel would say, is honesty with yourself.

If you are ready to make a change but feel you need a push and guidance to get you moving I will be honored to work with you. You can apply for my personal coaching on my website and I will get back to you within 24 hours.

If you are a passionate about your life message and want to serve others through telling your story, reaching a bigger audience and even media I am taking a handful of qualified clients to work with me. It is not for everyone but it could be YOU. Let’s find out.. You can book your consultation here and I look forward to serving you.

 

Have a great week!

My Divorce, Freedom and Independence Day

By Tatyana Gann

 

coachphoto1As we celebrate an Independence Day I thought to share my thoughts about freedom.  I came to America 21 years ago. I was only 19 years old.  Sometimes I cannot believe it has been over 20 years since the day I arrived here.  As I reflect on my life I had an interesting life journey. It taught me to appreciate my life more than ever. It taught me to value life, people in my life and see them as teachers. I am forever grateful!

Unfortunately, in December 2014 my divorce was final. It is not something you talk about publicly. It was the most difficult time in my life and becoming a single mom of two sons was not something I was looking forward to.  Some people will call it a bliss or freedom…but for me it became an opportunity to grow and find myself, reestablish my roots in America and start my life all over at the age of 40. Freedom requires sacrifices and I had to let of my ego so I could be MORE. It was my way of moving on, getting unstuck so I could experience TRUE freedom. Do not take me wrong. I do not advise anyone to get divorced to be FREE. Freedom is a personal choice no matter if you are single or married.

I made a decision to be  free and fabulous. why? Because FREEDOM is a decision to be fabulous even if you are single. I made a decision to find myself and love myself for who I am.

So…what is FREEDOM? Freedom is a choice we make. It is something we take for granted and quite often we believe we do not deserve it because of certain events, programming and our parental influence. We lose our voice to speak the truth completely. But it is only for a short time. We eventually find the voice inside that wants to come out and be loud ENOUGH to be heard!

Do you feel you lost your voice? Have you lost  your identity and do not know where you are going? Are you afraid to be yourself because somebody said you could not have it or not worthy? Are you restricted in your life to think freely and be creative? Do you allow your family to  influence your personal decisions or your career choices? Just because they think they could not have it all….they think you have the same destiny…..WRONG!

Well let me tell you….you  have a choice. Your mind is the most infinite muscle you can stretch and remove all limitations. I remember growing up in the Soviet Union and my grandmother used to listen to the same record over and over. Her favorite artist was Anna German …She played her songs until we could not handle any longer!  But we still loved our grandma and her vanilla sweet rolls! One day my aunt told me my sweetest grandma it was time to change it! It was TIME for a new music in the house.

Are you afraid of having new music playing in your life? We are afraid of letting go of the old music we play in our head, old lyrics we keep listening to. In order to feel free we must create CHANGE and let go of old music, lyrics and emotions ! New and good things are in store for you! Do you believe it?

Once we make a decision we create a space to receive more and feel freedom.  FREEDOM can be scary. It can be exciting. It is how you look at it. Freedom is knowing you are on the right path. You feel peace and serenity. You cannot have FREEDOM without feeling it first, visualizing, believing in it. Freedom is doing what you love, serving others they way you think is best! Freedom is when you can release yourself from toxic thinking and truly think positive. Freedom is when you lose attachment or need to be loved and appreciated. You learn to love yourself, a new you and find peace in it.

How do you feel free?

1. Decide what you want

2. Claim it.

3. Ask yourself what freedom means to you

4. How can you serve others with your freedom

5. Believe it and receive it.

Desire to have freedom will open new doors to healing your mind, restoring your life and making it much better than ever.  It is NOT a selfish desire. It is about living in passion, knowing who you are and staying in your power.  It is about doing what you want, making your own career or biz choices and following your heart! Freedom gives your ability to trust yourself and your intuition. It is not going to be perfect but it is your life. We live and learn. Do  not put yourself in a trap relying only on others to give you freedom! When you decide to have it others will feel it. You project it . They receive it.

Isn’t TIME to feel alive and have JOY, ABUNDANCE you were promised to receive by our awesome CREATOR? Freedom should be celebrated every day not just on the 4th!

Love,

Happy Independence Day

#1 Storytelling Tip To Launch Your Media Presence

By Tatyana Gann

 

photo1You have a vision. You want to be seen in the major media publications, TV, be interviewed by the influencers and the hottest talk in the town. You have so much passion buzzing in your veins that you are cannot stop You want to share your vision. ……here you go…

….You might have been told that in order to get media attention and have others talk about your product or business you need a story.. With so much marketing and content marketing advice you can get confused. It is quite easy!

Now I am going to show you why and how storytelling can help you launch your media presence, be the hottest success story and have fun in your professional life! PR can be sexy!

But… You need to know who YOU are first.

You might have heard storytelling is a new way to make connections, get new leads and get more sales. In every story you play a role. We call it a persona in the world of online publicity or public relations. Today storytelling is an amazing way to share your story right on your blog.

What is a persona? Persona is a role you play in your story…Your story comes from your professional and personal life experience. A persona is something you develop and build your story around it to support it Persona is NOT your brand but a part of your brand. It helps to showcase your brand. When I started my PR consulting in 2009 I was known as SmokinHotPR boutique owner. It was my starting point. My persona was Trendsetter and Superhero. I wanted to set new PR trends and serve people to use PR to create freedom with their business. Create BIG buzz with less work!

First important element is POSITIVE EMOTION.  It connects with people on emotional levels positively to inspire to motivate them to make new choices, new decisions and improve life.

Second important element is CONTROVERSIAL EMOTION. It does not have to be positive. It is often controversial. It makes people think. It often stirs us discussions, hot debates. Some controversy will do, but make sure it is not negative.

I will cover few types of persona I believe would be great for your stories in the media publications

1. The Adversary: The One who takes an opposing view of the most important matters. You  love to draw some attention. When they go left you go RIGHT.

2. The Superhero: you demonstrate some heroic effort what people remember. You show courage to serve people. You believe that you have the key to freedom.

3. The Trendsetter: You are interested in future trends and innovations. You love technology. You love social media. You share all the coolest things with your fans.

4. The Adventure lover: you love to share your life adventures. It is your lifestyle. People in the home business industry, musicians, writers who travel, love to share their lifestyle stories.

Love to hear about your persona. Leave a comment below. If you need help with your media attention, developing your online presence, become recognized and make you unforgettable apply for my private consulting and coaching.

To your success

Fear myths exposed….

By Tatyana Gann

cropped-coachphoto1.jpg

In the past two weeks I got emails from my readers asking me about FEARS. They wanted to know how to manage and overcome fears. They were ashamed of living in fear. They did not have confidence to move forward. But they knew they needed to do something about it.

Does it sound familiar? Are you ashamed of your fears?

First of all you must accept your fears…Often we are taught to get rid of it as fast as we feel it. We are taught it is a bad thing. Good news— accept your fears, so you can understand the roots of your fears. It takes a very strong person to say “Heck, I do have fears and I am working through them”. Fears do teach us to take care of our basic necessities in life. They teach us how to be grounded and accountable.

Tip: When you push your fears in the corner, you do not get rid of them. You simply cover the mess up. You simply deny your human emotion. When you accept your fears you open your mind to do what you have never done. I used to be afraid of dogs. Growing up I had a major fear of dogs. It did not matter what size they were. I had FEAR of being attacked. I was attacked by a dog when I was little so I kept telling myself dogs were not my friends. Well, in 2012 I learned the dogs could be your therapy. They could be your loyal friend you never had  with the most unconditional love. FEAR melted away when I faced it and made a decision to see an alias in what I feared the most.

When you accept your fears you open your mind to do what you have never done

Secondly ask yourself, “What if our our fear is that we have the power to do better things in life”?
I love what Marianne Williamson says about fear of being powerful beyond measure, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Your playing small does not serve the world

I think when we realize we can be powerful and improve our life, we simply resist the opportunity to grow. We, instead, should claim that we are God’s masterpiece and as Marianne says “Your playing small…” will not get us where we need to be in life.

Ask yourself again, “Does my fear of being powerful, significant, influential keep me from my true purpose of serving people”?

What is costing YOU to play small?

Do not let fear control your life. Even in the situations when we are scared for our life, ask yourself
“Is it a fear for my life– for my survival and my life safety?”
If it is then ask yourself “What resources do I have now to handle it and where I can get them?” Job or business security, establishing good health and a safe place are important in managing fears in order to move forward.

Another factor to consider is that fear can keep us stuck in the same situation and we repeat self sabotaging patterns.  What if you you establish a new belief, “What does fear allow me to do and be?” Is it serving a purpose of NOT doing what I want? Because fear can serve two purposes: one is to push you forward…and one to keep you stuck…Fear can push you to be brave.  You have to go through fear and quite often it is not bad as you think.

What do you allow fear to do to your life? Have you allowed fears to stop you doing things you wanted to do? When you realize that fears are costing you a success, a better relationship, a new career or even financial freedom you will make a decision to do something about it.

Do not run away from fears. They are normal emotions but you must NOT stay in the fearful state of mind for a long time. You must do something about it. Focus on your dreams. Taking baby steps towards your dreams will melt fears away because dreams are more significant than living in fear.

What if…it is a just illusion to justify something you are not willing to do…

What if I could mentor you to help you to overcome fears and regain confidence, peace and be happier in your professional and personal life? Are you committed to your success?

Have a great day!

Dr. Rebecca Westbrook brings proven techniques to prevent dogs weight gain. As a veterinarian dedicated to compassionate pet care in Dallas TX, she shares with the public cutting-edge discoveries when it comes to learning the causes of weight gain.

With today’s information rich media outlets and advanced technology, a pet owner may become overwhelmed and inundated with advice especially when it comes to dog obesity. Dr. Westbrook believes that it is important to question the soundness of advice and question the science behind it before a pet owner implements any type of pet hospice care that facilitates weight loss for dogs.

One of the biggest questions that an animal owner will often ask is how much weight their dog can stand to lose and in what time frame.

In an interview with her publicist, Tatyana Gann, Westbrook states that “A dog may safely lose 1% to 2% of their body weight on a weekly basis”. However, she is quick to point out that it is important to check with your veterinarian before embarking on a weight loss program.

Corporate Social Media Discrimination is a complex phenomenon because of the continually evolving social media trends. Human Resource Professionals traversing this minefield must have a keen understanding of discrimination laws and social media boundaries that must be adhered to.

Jessica Miller-Merrell, an HR veteran for over 10 years, reveals the strategic factor that social media plays inside the Human Resources arena with her four part series titled “Corporate Social Media Discrimination” on her blog, Blogging4Jobs.com.

Miller-Merrell speaks candidly about how the use of social media can cause discrimination upon a protected class. In particular, she discusses disparate treatment and disparate impact both as forms of discriminatory behavior used towards minority groups.

In her recent blog post, Miller-Merrell states, “A disparate impact is a concern if recruiters and companies exclusively use social media to source and search for candidates. For example, if a recruiter relies solely on Twitter to advertise job openings, they are reaching a predominantly Caucasian audience.”

Gastric Hypno Balloon Program

By Tatyana Gann

London, UK,  Dec. 5, 2011– The creator of the Gastric Hypno Balloon Weight Loss program Ryan Camana understands overweight patients are willing to go under the knife to correct their body but the problem is much deeper. With so many extreme weight loss extreme methods existing today and customers spending thousands of dollars on the weight loss and obesity treatments many new patients ask Camana  a very simple question “You want me to be hypnotized instead of having surgery?”

According to Ryan Camana’s weight loss research and his work with clients, he saw that hypnosis was one of the only ways proven to get a person back into the higher brain.  Using hypnosis a person can completely avoid the automatic stress response, eating, which invariably occurs on any diet where you are lowering your calories.

In his recent phone interview with publicist Tatyana Gann, Camana said a very profound truth about the power of our mind and how it affects our eating patterns and why diets simply do not work . Camana added, “Installing healthy eating patterns by switching cravings for sugar snacks to cravings for fruit.  We can also program your mind to feel full faster so you naturally eat fewer calories.  All while keeping you centered and peaceful in the higher thinking parts of your brain.

Six Ingredients of Spiritual Growth

Six Ingredients of Spiritual Growth

By Tatyana Gann

 

IMG_6511c

Tatyana is here. I have not written in a while and I am glad I am back after almost two years  of silence. Going through a personal life change made me think about my life and how I wanted to grow from it and be more. I recognized that spiritual growth became the fancy phrase in the world of “self help gurus” but “spiritually hungry” people are still looking for answers.  My executive clients come to me with one big dream- to have a meaningful life, to have better relationships with kids, have more time and have a better health. Basic things right?

But they do not know how to find solutions and where to find them…

First thing you must realize is that YOU do matter in your own growth…

When you realize that the best asset you can have is not your real estate, cars, money in the bank and fake friends who are there for you when things are good…it is HOPE in the IMPOSSIBLE, FAITH in GOD and LOVE you have for yourself because God loves you.  When you are going to realize it, feel it and understand at a deeper level you will start your spiritual journey.

Quite often spiritual journey starts when you are wrecked, when you fall apart and when everything in your life has drastically changed. For a moment, you do not believe what is possible…But it is only for a brief moment. You regroup. You move forward.  You can look at it as the most challenging times in your life, but you can also see them as the most beautiful times in your life because God is FINALLY revealing your true power!

Secondly, one of the most important principles in spiritual growth is LOVE. Learning to love you is a step one in spiritual growth. It is not something you want to leave for later. You want to allow God’s love in your heart. It will move mountains and open new doors. It will give you strength and wisdom to do what you never did!

Love is the force that opens hearts of others to see the light in you. God’s love  that people will see in you changes hearts of the ones who hurt you most and makes you a big believer that God favors are coming your way…Believe it…Trust…and Take action…even small ones.

Third, Choices are very important. From this VERY point in your life only you are responsible for your choices…Only you can make things better or best in your life. Do not rush with choices…Make sure you feel at peace with them so everything follows smoothly…It will be if YOU believe it.

Fourth, YOUR WHY will make you do things that are not comfortable…It will open hidden gems in your soul and your heart that you never thought you had! Ask God for guidance because he placed them there and patiently waited for you to see your true power. Go for it. Aim HIGH…There are no limits!

My big WHYs are my boys…They are my reason to become a true polished diamond…Dream BIG!

my boys

Fifth, Your clarity is very important to see your path and recognize the right people in your life who could guide you and coach you. In confused mind it doesn’t happen. My point work on purifying your heart your soul and your mind!!!

In order to create the most precious moments in life you must do what you never done. You must leave your baby security blanket and put a shield on, find solutions to make things happen!!!  As a mom I am on fire and the best mission EVER- to give my boys the best gift- my unconditional love and show them that HOPE, FAITH and LOVE are most powerful attributes that God gave us…

To summarize, you cannot have spiritual growth without this: clarity, big WHYs,  love, self love, self acceptance, wise choices and YOU is the main actor on the stage of life! It is never too late to start dreaming again and loving yourself!!! I have simple solutions for you so you can dream again and dream BIG, feel better, look better and have more choices to do what you always wanted to do! It is a part of our journey to recognize our mission, our life purpose and be what we are meant to be!  Our spiritual growth is the foundation of who we are about to become!
