Today’s guest was actually the first episode I recorded and it was an honour to speak with my dear friend Tanya Carroll.
Tanya found her calling as a Corrective Exercise and Holistic Lifestyle Coach after her first husband passed away as a result of melanoma cancer.
Actively choosing to move forward and forge a career in health in terms of preventative rather than reactive, Tanya knew she wanted to provide a positive example for her then two young children in leading a life that showed them how to find and live their potential through their soul purpose.
After finding love again and expanding her family to include her new husband’s three children and then having another child, Tanya also expanded her career to include Surf Coaching. Her family has also grown to include two Grandsons.
For someone who could not swim and has a fear of fish, Surf Coaching seemed left of field but the long held desire to coach professional surf athletes helped drive Tanya to become a leading Surf Coach at URBNSURF Melbourne.
Tanya works with a wide range of people from athletes in and out of the water, to people learning to surf for the
first time. Tanya has also played a pivotal role with her supporting position, in the success of the Waves of Wellness programs at URBNSURF.
Currently Tanya shares part ownership in Integrity Chiropractic where her clinic practice is based, as well as coaching and surfing in every spare minute at URBNSURF. She also advocates for women’s health in surfing through her podcast Amongst The Waves.
We talk about surfing, facing your fears, chasing your dreams in midlife, the importance of community, vulnerability, the healing power of the waves, and giving back in a BIG way!
For anyone who’s been sitting on a dream, this episode is a must listen!
