What happens when your life shatters in ways you never imagined? Tanya Davis-Ezedema knows that feeling all too well. From facing domestic violence while raising her son as a 22-year-old single mom to building a household name, Tanya's early motherhood journey was marked by one painful challenge after another.

But when she found her 10-year-old son sobbing over a pile of mismatched socks after his father had disappeared yet again, something profound shifted. That moment of heartbreak became the catalyst for transformation that would eventually touch countless women's lives.

In this powerful conversation, Tanya shares how she navigated the seemingly impossible balance of building a career while parenting alone, eventually climbing the ranks to leadership at one of the world's busiest airports. Her professional success, however, was just the beginning. The wisdom forged through her struggles led her to create Butterfly Rising Institute, a movement dedicated to helping women transform their pain into purpose.

Now married with a second son born 22 years after her first, Tanya offers unique perspective on motherhood across different life seasons. She challenges the myth of work-life balance, instead teaching women to focus on what she calls the three pillars: career, communication, and cash. "It's not about juggling everything perfectly," she explains, "but understanding what needs priority in that moment."

Whether you're a single parent, a working mom struggling with guilt, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, Tanya's story reminds us that our breaking points often become our breakthrough moments. As she beautifully puts it: "Through chaos comes change." Her virtual program, Butterfly Haven, creates space for women to breathe, connect, and find clarity amid life's most challenging seasons.

Join us for this raw, faith-filled conversation about resilience, redemption, and the beauty that emerges when we embrace our stories—even the painful chapters. Connect with Tanya at butterflyrisinginstitute.com or on Instagram @btrfly_rise to learn more about her upcoming sessions, including "Beauty in the Breaking, When Pain Becomes Purpose."
