37. What Do You Do?: Crafting Your Identity

Have you ever stumbled when someone asks "What do you do?" That seemingly simple question often leaves us fumbling for words, underselling our value, or rambling without clarity. After attending a powerful female entrepreneurship conference in New York City, I'm sharing a perspective-shifting approach to answering this question in a way that truly captures your essence and impact.As a multi-passionate creative who's navigated various professional identities, I understand the complexity of defining yourself when you don't fit neatly into one box. Many of us feel pressure to present ourselves as "pure entrepreneurs" or downplay certain aspects of our professional lives due to perceived judgment.My non-linear path has taught me that there's no shame in creating a professional identity that combines entrepreneurial ventures with traditional employment if that arrangement creates a life you find fulfilling.  What matters isn't whether whether you're building an authentic life aligned with your values. When someone asks what you do, start with "I help..." followed by who you help and what transformation you facilitate. This immediately shifts focus from your title to your impact. Download my free 5-minute pre-workout ritual guide through the link in the show notes, and share how you answer this question by reaching out!Send Tiana a text!Connect with Me Instagram: www.instagram.com/tianamoves Website: unbreakablemb.com Email: info@unbreakablemb.com Disclaimer: This show is for education and entertainment purposes only.

That invisible force guiding you is more powerful than most of us realize.In this raw, unfiltered conversation, we dive into the quantum physics of energy and how it shapes our reality.

33. Awaken Your Creative Potential

Creativity isn't reserved for the naturally gifted—it's a muscle we can all strengthen through strategic practice. After spending decades believing I lacked creative ability, I recently had a revelation while buzzing around my apartment on an early Saturday morning. My studio was filled with creative stations: painting supplies, podcast equipment, a vision board, and even a puzzle corner. How did someone who once believed she had "no creative bones" in her body develop so many creative pursuits?The answer lies in applying the same three-part framework I've used throughout my fitness career: information, implementation, and integration. We often get trapped collecting knowledge without ever putting it into practice. The real transformation happens when we implement what we've learned and then integrate the practices that work for us personally. Even without innate creative gifts, you can cultivate creativity through intentional practice.I challenge you to explore those curiosities you've been ignoring—the ones that keep you up at night or spark excitement when you imagine pursuing them. Send Tiana a text!Connect with Me Instagram: www.instagram.com/tianamoves Website: unbreakablemb.com Email: info@unbreakablemb.com Disclaimer: This show is for education and entertainment purposes only.

32. Forgiveness and Making Peace with the Past

What happens when a routine doctor's appointment triggers a flood of unresolved trauma? This raw, unfiltered episode takes you through my unexpected 48-hour emotional journey after my cancer-survivor mother needed a hospital stay.During what should have been a simple appointment, I found myself catapulted back to 2007 – when my mom battled brain cancer while I juggled a soul-crushing corporate job and an unsupportive relationship. The memory of her telling me to "stop fucking crying" during one vulnerable moment had shaped years of emotional suppression that I'm only now beginning to unpack.We don't need to live in our memories to learn from them. "You can look back, get your notes, make your mental checklist and then move on," I share, inviting you to consider where you might be dwelling unnecessarily in past pain. The most transformative insight came when examining my approach to self-growth. For decades, I thought healing meant abandoning my former self. Now I understand that true integration means thanking those earlier versions of myself for doing their best with limited tools. Whether you're navigating complex family dynamics, processing old wounds, or seeking to make peace with your own history, this episode offers a gentle reminder that forgiveness – especially of yourself – might be the key.Send Tiana a text!Connect with Me Instagram: www.instagram.com/tianamoves Website: unbreakablemb.com Email: info@unbreakablemb.com Disclaimer: This show is for education and entertainment purposes only.

31. I Never Fit In Anywhere: Navigating Cultural Identity as a Nuyorican

Have you ever felt like you don't quite belong anywhere? That feeling has followed me throughout my entire life as a Nuyorican with a distinctly Hispanic last name but without the language skills to match.My journey with cultural identity began in childhood, where my Puerto Rican parents made the difficult choice not to teach me Spanish—a decision rooted in their desire to protect me from the discrimination they had faced. "We want to make sure that you do not face as much racism as we have," they told me when I asked why we didn't speak Spanish at home. This well-intentioned protection created a disconnect that followed me into adulthood.School environments only magnified this sense of displacement. In the Bronx, kids called me "Blondie" because of my appearance, while in Westchester County, I faced different challenges, including being falsely accused of being an undercover narcotics officer by other students of color. Now in my forties, I'm embarking on a deliberate journey to reclaim parts of my heritage through language immersion, committing to daily Spanish practice despite having tried and failed before. This path has led me to three powerful questions that might help you explore your own identity - tune in for more. What parts of your identity are you reconnecting with? Send Tiana a text!Connect with Me Instagram: www.instagram.com/tianamoves Website: unbreakablemb.com Email: info@unbreakablemb.com Disclaimer: This show is for education and entertainment purposes only.

30. Never Quite Ready: Taking Action Despite Self-Doubt

In this vulnerable episode, I share a recent brand photoshoot experience that had me battling waves of insecurity despite years of camera experience. Despite taking over 1,000 photos, my inner perfectionist—formed through years as a dancer and bodybuilder—kept finding flaws. The mantra that pulled me through? "I am enough and what I'm doing is important."This triggered memories of perhaps my greatest personal challenge: after earning my IFBB Pro card in 2010, I gained over 50 pounds within months. Gym sessions became exercises in humiliation. There were days the physical pain kept me bedridden, and I questioned if I'd ever feel comfortable in my own skin again.Looking at my recent photos against the backdrop of that difficult chapter reveals an important truth: readiness is largely a myth. Had I waited to feel completely confident before this photoshoot, an important project would remain just an idea. Growth happens when we step into discomfort despite our insecurities. We're never going to feel 100% ready for the things—but that's precisely why we must begin anyway. What dream are you postponing until you feel ready? Send Tiana a text!Connect with Me Instagram: www.instagram.com/tianamoves Website: unbreakablemb.com Email: info@unbreakablemb.com Disclaimer: This show is for education and entertainment purposes only.

29. What About Me? How This Question Changed Me

"Well, what about me?" These four simple words transformed my understanding of boundaries and self-care. What initially shocked me—his casual request for coffee when supplies were low—ultimately gave me permission to prioritize my own needs without guilt.The beauty of this lesson was its unexpectedness. While our relationship didn't last, his natural ability to advocate for himself showed me what healthy boundary-setting looks like. During the isolation of lockdown, I had time to reflect on this interaction. Where was I making unnecessary sacrifices? With family, friends, and especially clients, I needed to learn to say "this is what works for me" without apologizing for having limits.The truth is powerfully simple: you cannot pour from an empty cup. When we fail to maintain boundaries, we end up resentful. The responsibility falls on us to clearly articulate our needs and limits, especially with those closest to us who might take our availability for granted.What I've learned is that boundaries and kindness can coexist beautifully. You can be firm without being harsh. You can say "that doesn't work for me" while still maintaining peaceful relationships. The next time you feel drained or resentful, look inward and ask where you need to take responsibility for your boundaries. Because ultimately, if you don't advocate for your needs, who will? Send Tiana a text!Connect with Me Instagram: www.instagram.com/tianamoves Website: unbreakablemb.com Email: info@unbreakablemb.com Disclaimer: This show is for education and entertainment purposes only.

28. I Crashed a Car on My Way to An Interview

In 2007, I crashed a borrowed car on my way to a job interview.What started as a simple car swap to avoid a traffic ticket quickly spiraled into disaster when I hydroplaned over construction runoff and slammed into a concrete divider. The wrecked car was just the beginning—my boyfriend's reaction revealed more about our relationship than months of dating had. Despite the chaos, I formulated a plan: get the damaged car home, change clothes, catch a train to the city, and somehow pull myself together for this crucial interview. Not only did I make it on time, but when I shared my morning's adventure with my interviewers, I unknowingly demonstrated exactly the kind of quick thinking and resilience they were looking for. Before I even made it home that evening, they called with a job offer.This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a challenging three-year period that included working for half my predecessor's salary, supporting my mother through cancer, and remaining in a relationship that was slowly draining my spirit. Like waves repeatedly crashing over someone struggling to reach shore, each new challenge threatened to pull me under. The greatest lesson? Learning to slow down rather than rushing headlong into chaos. Ready to build your own unbreakable mind and body?
