I'm back, ladies! After taking the summer off, I have so much to share. In this welcome-back episode of It's My Time with Tarnesha, I'm opening up about my personal experience with uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), the realities of surgery recovery, and the importance of giving ourselves permission to rest and heal. God gave me one word for 2026: Restore. What I didn't realize was how much restoration would require me to slow down. We're also discussing the emotional and spiritual demands of leadership, creating healthy boundaries, and caring for the woman behind the title. I'll introduce two exciting developments: The Chair, our pastoral counseling center at Greater Gathering Church, and Crown & Cadence, my new leadership coaching and strategic development company for CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives, and women in leadership. In this episode, we explore: Uterine fibroids, UFE recovery, and women's health Learning to rest without guilt Faith, restoration, and Psalm 23 Creating margin to dream, reflect, and grow Pastoral counseling, marriage support, and spiritual wellness Leadership coaching, emotional intelligence, and healthy boundaries What's next for Crown & Cadence and my forthcoming book, When Her Crown Slips Connect with us: The Chair — Pastoral Counseling: [email protected] Crown & Cadence — Leadership Coaching: [email protected] Ladies, what area of your life needs restoration?
