Tania Jane is a 7x bestselling author, speaker, creative maven, content creator, and podcast host who helps women uncover and express their unique stories in a way that is compelling and authentic to them. After losing her way for a brief three years post-grad while working in corporate hedge funds, fintech, and marketing, she found her way back to her soul-calling of storytelling and self-expression through a series of “yes” ventures in the world of writing and publishing. It is what led her to fuse her passion for creativity and holistic healing and birth Warrior Life Creative Co—a holistic, full-scale creative agency specializing in nurture content marketing using mentorship, energy healing, strategy—creating an ALL-IN-ONE experience for heart-inspired entrepreneurs and brands. Additionally, she is a developmental editor and creative partner at YGTMedia Co (@ygtmedia.co). and co-founder of Mama Brain Magazine with her biz bestie, Sabrina Greer. When Tania isn't busy putting out fires or igniting you into wildfire self-expression, she is building lego with her family, cozying up with a cuppa chai and some good books, or envisioning world domination where every creative is fully self-expressed. Her goal: No creative left behind. No voice left unexpressed.
