A Journey To Discovering Your Inner Greatness
I am not a celebrity, I do not have a PhD in anything, I don’t teach for a living and am not a CEO who has made millions building a company. I am just like you, a regular person who has been living life by the rules of society. Putting in hard work and being a good person and hoping that it will all work out and that I will be worthy of love and success in this fast-paced world. However, like most people as they grow and age, I started to feel trapped. Started to contemplate that there must be another way, you can’t work tirelessly all your life trying to be the perfect citizen in order to “have it all”. Can you? How can there ever be balance in that? How can I have the family life I want, the friendships I want, the love of my life, the vacations of my dreams and the money to make it all happen? There never seems to be enough time in the day, there never seems to be enough answers. I knew there had to be a better, easier, happier way to get everything I ever set out for and I was determined to find it. I refused to settle for the “that’s just life”. You must pick one, money and success and no time or relationships or all the money in the world with nobody to share it with. I refused to believe that I had to choose a rewarding career over my family. That spending time with my children was a “luxury”. I had experienced more burnouts then I care to remember and regardless of how much love and support I had in my life I felt “STUCK” No way out, no glimmer of hope and an endless loop of the same crap day in and day out. My gut couldn’t take it anymore and I spent the last 5 years researching, learning and growing. I needed to find the answers and the secret to having everything you want and for it to feel effortless. I am proud to say that I am writing this book because I finally did it, I found happiness and pure joy and it was the last place I looked!
Now friends I want to share these lessons with you in hopes that it sparks something within that allows you the same joy I am feeling. You are worthy and deserving of living the best life that you can imagine.

I can't wait to see what else comes out of you!

A Journey to Discovering Your Inner Greatness is an insightful, relaxing read of a spiritual journey of a woman that simply wanted better for herself and her family. It highlights how we can drive for excellence and forgiveness of self in our day to day life but not perfection because non of us are perfect. Tonya speaks to her life on a personal level on how she has managed to change her cycle of negative impact she was experiencing that is relatable. The narrative has funny twists, humour, sadness and pain thus providing a platform to help grounds us all as we look inward at our own life. Thank you Tonya for putting yourself out there to support all off us, it is nice to know we are not alone in the reality of life’s struggles.
