Drawing inspiration from Ryan Holiday's 'The Obstacle is the Way', Tanya highlights how obstacles can become stepping stones if you keep pushing forward. Despite the mishap, Tanya remains committed to her work, albeit with creative adaptations. She shares how she's had to switch gears – quite literally – using her voice more due to her hand's limitations. Her story is a testament to the power of adaptability and finding joy even in challenging situations.
Tanya's tale is not just about physical recovery but also a metaphor for overcoming life's hurdles.

Her experience underscores the importance of accepting life's terms while changing what you can. Listeners will find themselves nodding along to Tanya's reflections on perseverance and the humorous twists that life throws at us.
