If what you read next feels uncomfortably accurate, you're in the right place

From the outside, things look good.
You're capable. Responsible. You handle your shit.

But behind the scenes?

• You're tense more often than you wanna be

• You replay conversations long after they're over

• You shut down, snap, or spiral when stress hits

• You carry guilt, pressure, and responsibility that never really turns off

• You keep thinking, "I should be fine by now... so why am I not?"

You're not broken.
You're not weak.
And you're not failing.

You’re just living with a nervous system that’s been running at max capacity for too long.
And when stress is high, it makes everything feel heavier than it needs to.

Here's the problem:
You're running on patterns that once helped you survive and succeed —
but no one ever taught you how to turn them off.

This isn't a mindset problem.
It's a capacity one.

You didn't end up this way because you're bad at boundaries.
Or too sensitive.
Or cuz you're not trying hard enough.

You learned a set of rules early on about how to stay safe, keep the peace, and succeed.

Rules like:

• Don't make waves

• Be responsible

• Push through

• Figure it out yourself

• Don't be a burden

• Don't ask for too much

Those rules worked.
They helped you survive.
They helped you build the life you have now.

But here's the part no one tells you:

They kept you functioning — but they also kept your nervous system on.
And you were never taught how to regulate it once life got more demanding.

Because those rules were built for survival —
not for rest, intimacy, or ease.

So when life gets heavier — more responsibility, more pressure, more emotional load — those same rules start to cost you.

Your nervous system stays on high alert.
Your body never really gets to stand down.
And everything starts to feel harder than it should.

Not because you’re doing something wrong —
but because your capacity never got a chance to catch up.

These patterns don't just live in your head — they show up everywhere

Same nervous system responses.
Different areas of your life —
because no one ever taught you how to regulate them.

You stop feeling like hard moments derail your whole day.
You stop bracing for impact all the time.
You stop walking around like you're one inconvenience away from losing your shit.

This is what changes when you stop living in survival mode — and build emotional capacity

Because you're not just "thinking differently."
You're regulating differently.

Not because life suddenly got easier...
but because you stay grounded through it — without spiraling, shutting down, or self-sabotaging when hard moments hit.

That's because your nervous system is no longer running the show.

The "Get Unstuck" call is a clarity-first conversation —
not a sales pitch

So how do you actually unlearn the patterns running your life?

Not by trying harder.
Not by talking yourself out of how you feel.
And not by forcing "better habits" onto a nervous system that's already fried.

The first step is figuring out what patterns are actually at play for you.

Because the truth is —
two people can look stuck in the same way and be stuck for completely different reasons.

What's driving your reactions, stress, or shutdown isn't generic — it's learned, specific, and personal.

That's where the "Get Unstuck" call comes in.

Find what's blocking your peace
Get clear on how your nervous system responds to stress — and why it keeps you stuck.

It's a free, no-pressure call where we slow things down and:

• identify the specific patterns shaping how you cope, react, and relate

• see how those patterns are affecting different areas of your life

• understand where your nervous system is overloaded

• get clear on what would actually help — and what won't

No fixing.
No diagnosing.
No "you should be over this by now."

Just clarity.

How I help you build emotional capacity when life gets heavy

1 — Get Unstuck Call
We slow things down and name the exact patterns you default to when stress is high and capacity is low — so you’re not guessing anymore.

2 — Learn to Regulate
You learn how to regulate your nervous system in real time — not by “calming down,” but by actually building the capacity to stay present when things feel intense.

3 — Respond with Capacity
You practice responding from choice instead of autopilot — so you can handle hard moments without spiraling, shutting down, or self-sabotaging.

This isn't mindset work. It's nervous system work — with real tools you can use in real life.

This is where things start to click.
And where you life starts to feel different...lighter.

Real clients.
Real breakthroughs.

About Life with Tawny

"I finally feel like I have some control over my life. Before this, I was just going through the motions and turning myself into someone I'm not. Coaching helped me remember who I was and who I want to be."

Mallory H.

"I REALLY value our session recaps. It's super helpful to reference exercises that help me make progress."

Camilla H.

"I've learned to acknowledge what I'm really responsible for and let go of what I'm not. I'm happier, less stressed, and have been able to improve the relationships in my life, both personal and professional."

If you’re here, it probably means you’re f*cking over it.

Over the pressure.

Over the pretending.

Over carrying the weight of everyone’s expectations.

Over trying to build a life you’re proud of while secretly wondering why it still feels so heavy.

I get it — because I was you.

For years, I lived in quiet chaos — juggling a demanding career, family pressure, my own trauma, and the emotional landmines that came with all of it.


I snapped under pressure. I spiraled in silence. I held everything together on the outside while falling apart on the inside.

Until I hit my limit — and realized the truth:

I didn’t need more discipline.

I needed more capacity.

I needed to learn how to regulate my nervous system when stress was high and capacity was low — the skill no one ever taught me.

I grew up learning all the same survival rules you did:

• be strong

• be grateful

• don’t burden anyone

• don’t be dramatic

• achieve more

• need less

Those rules made me successful.


But they also fried my nervous system, wrecked my relationships, and left me stuck in a cycle of overwhelm I couldn’t outwork, outrun, or outperform.

The turning point wasn’t some inspirational movie montage.


It was me — exhausted on my bedroom floor — deciding to stop outsourcing my power and start unlearning every piece of bullshit that was keeping me in my own way.

I became the hero of my own f*cking story.

And I rebuilt myself from the inside out.

Not by pretending everything was fine.

Not by bypassing my pain.


But by learning how to regulate, how to reconnect with myself, how to stop reacting from old wounds, and how to actually live instead of constantly recovering from life.

Now?
 I help high-achieving, heart-heavy humans do the same.

People who handle everything life throws at them — but are tired of how heavy it feels behind the scenes.

People who grew up in survival mode and can’t figure out why “adulting” feels like drowning.


People who want to break their patterns — not become a motivational quote.

My coaching isn’t about toxic positivity or surface-level hacks.


It’s about building the emotional capacity your childhood never prepared you for.


It’s about unlearning the BS that keeps you in your own way — in your relationships, your work, your family, your love life, and your friendships.

It’s about finally having the tools, the support, and the self-trust to stop white-knuckling your life… and start actually living it.

You don’t need to hold it all together.

You just need a better way forward.

And that’s where I come in.
