In this episode of She’s An Asset, we sit down with veteran and healer Tawnya Brown—founder of CoActive Wellness in Windham, Maine.

Tawnya spent years in male-dominated industries, proving her strength again and again. But underneath the success and grit was a quiet truth she could no longer ignore: people like us are breaking. Not because we're weak, but because there's nowhere safe to unravel, rest, and heal root causes.

If you’ve ever felt like:

  • You’re always “on,” even when you’re falling apart inside

  • Traditional healing isn’t cutting it anymore

  • You're successful, but still deeply disconnected from your power

...this conversation is your permission slip to stay in your power.

Together, we explore:

  • 🔧 Tawnya’s journey from military life and OT work to opening a full-spectrum wellness sanctuary

  • ✨ Why holistic modalities like hypnotherapy and light therapy are crucial for women carrying emotional trauma

  • 🧠 The hidden cost of constantly serving others without being poured into

  • 🌿 What it actually looks like to soften without falling apart

🎧 Listen in and let this episode remind you: You’re not too much. You’re just not supported enough.
