Meet Tonya Strahan . . .
Author of Life Happens - Enjoy the Ride
I'm a kid at heart with a love for the outdoors. I love the fresh air, playing in the backyard, walking a 5K, floating in the pool or playing badminton. I'm the badminton champ, if only in my backyard.
Most Saturdays you will find me doing a 5K. I started running, and when I say running I mean walking, shortly after I was diagnosed with seven deformities to my feet. I decide to take control and started walking, that was in March of 2016.
I still live with pain and physical limitations on a daily basis, but I won't stop until I cross the
finish line.
​
I became a certified personal trainer a few years ago because of my dislike for working out and my passion for helping others. As the trainer, I can make the workout FUN! Many of my clients agree that I put the "F" "U" in FUn. I really enjoyed training and being a part of others fitness journey.
​
I've worked in Customer Service, Administration
and Human Resources.
I'm a professional photographer.
I'm the author of Life Happens - Enjoy the Ride.
I share stories of my life that make me, Me.
Nothing is off limits, I'm vulnerable and real, owning my mistakes and learning to forgive myself.
​
I'm forever the Karaoke Princess.
​
You've probably figured out by now,
I have a passion to help others.
I never give up, no matter what odds are against me. I inspire, encourage and challenge others to do the same.
I've been educated in the school of life.
This education is not one to be taken lightly.
​
I celebrate life and the differences of others.
I love the fact that we are all different.
I've been told, "You're not normal!" That's true and I'm glad, I'm not.
​
I've lived a crazy roller-coaster ride of a life. Starting with my first memory, at eight years old being one of fear. To the joy of raising two great kids, a Marine Veteran and a Tap Choreographer.
To divorce.
To living a life of peace and joy with my Love.
I'm not perfect but This is Me!
