What’s in a name? A story, a season, a self. In my latest blog, I reflect on the many names I’ve worn — and how coaching helped me rediscover who I truly am. 🔗 Read now: tinyvoicetalks.com #Coaching #Identity #SelfDiscovery #TinyVoiceTalks

The Many Names I’ve Worn
What’s in a name? Sometimes everything. In this reflective post, I explore how my changing name shaped my identity — and how coaching helped me make peace with every version of myself.

When the shoes no longer fit, it’s time to take them off. We outgrow jobs, roles, even versions of ourselves. Change isn’t failure — it’s growth. 🌱 New blog post now live: When the Shoes No Longer Fit → tinyvoicetalks.com/blog #TinyVoiceTalks #CoachingForChange

When the Shoes No Longer Fit: Embracing the Natural Call to Change
Sometimes we stay in things that no longer serve us — a job, a role, a rhythm — simply because they once felt right. But nature never questions when it’s time to change. What if we allowed ourselves to do the same?

Why Chasing Happiness Doesn’t Work We spend so much of our lives chasing happiness — but what if it isn’t something to chase at all? In this post, I explore how coaching helped me stop waiting for happiness and start choosing it in the everyday moments.

Feeling lost doesn’t mean you’ve failed — it might be the start of finding yourself. My latest blog post is for anyone navigating change, uncertainty or life shifts. #TinyVoiceTalks #Coaching #PersonalGrowth #FeelingLost

Why Feeling Lost Might Be the Beginning of Finding Yourself
Feeling lost isn’t a failure — it’s often a quiet invitation to rediscover yourself. In this heartfelt piece, coach and educator Toria Bono explores why moments of uncertainty can be powerful turning points, and how coaching can help you find clarity, confidence and a renewed sense of direction.

There’s a moment — after the learning, the doubting, the growing, when you realise you’ve quietly become someone you once only dreamed of being. This week, I reached something that has been a long time in the making. Not loud. Not flashy. But deeply meaningful. I’ve shared the story in my latest…

Valentines Day celebrates love; ALL love - & not just romantic love! There's often societal pressures to be/have/give love in a certain way, but love starts as a feeling & continues as a choice. So choose you, don't settle for less, take what you need & know that you're special. 🧡🥰 #YouAreEnough
