How She Rebuilt Her Life After a Tsunami and a Stoke with Award-Winning Journalist Tanya Targett-Camacho

Send us Fan MailA wall of water stole a business, a mini-stroke threatened language itself, and somehow the path forward got clearer, not smaller. We sit down with journalist-turned-coach Tanya Targett-Camacho to trace how disaster stripped away pretense and revealed a calling: help women own their stories on video, without apology or imitation.Tanya shares the harrowing weeks after an inland tsunami erased her warehouse and income, and the moment six months later when pins and needles, slurred speech, and dread marked a mini-stroke. From relearning simple tasks to rebuilding confidence, she found herself drawn back to her first love—storytelling—and the media skills that once put her on national TV. Only this time, the spotlight isn’t the point. Service is. She breaks down a simple framework that turns any lived moment into a short, potent video: the specific moment, the lesson it taught, and one practical tip. We talk imposter syndrome, the pressure to shrink on camera, and what changes when you grant yourself permission to stand tall. When you do, you grant others permission, too.If you wish to connect and work with Tanya you can connect with her on Instagram at: @tanyatargettcamacho.If this conversation moved you, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.Support the showTo download a free chapter of host Sylvia Worsham's bestselling book, In Faith, I Thrive: Finding Joy Through God's Masterplan, purchase any of her products, or book a call with her, visit her website at www.sylviaworsham.com
