My journey to courage

Tasha Speaks is a home for anyone who has ever felt called to rise — even when rising felt impossible. It’s a space about courage: how we find it, how we grow it, and how we use it to reshape the direction of our lives. Because courage isn’t something we wait for. It’s something we learn to see through a new lens — our own lens of possibility.

When I was 26, I made a choice that changed everything. With two young children and only $27 in my pocket, I stepped onto a plane and into a new life on the other side of the country. It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t certain. But something in me knew I could no longer stay where I was. I chose to believe in a future I couldn’t yet see — one where my children and I could grow, thrive, and breathe freely.

That moment didn’t come from perfection or fearlessness. It came from tapping into a deep, quiet source of courage that lives inside all of us. A source we often forget we have.

Many of us build our lives around fears we never meant to honor. We treat them as truth, as destiny, as immovable walls. But the day I boarded that airplane, I carried nothing but two babies, a small bag, and a trust — almost blinding in its clarity — that life could open for me if I dared to walk toward it.

That trust is what fuels Tasha Speaks.

Here, I share the stories, insights, and everyday wisdom that have shaped my journey — the lessons that help us become fuller, braver, more honest versions of ourselves. I speak about real life, real transformation, and the humor that keeps us human along the way.

I hope the speeches and stories you find here remind you of your own strength. I hope they give you something to hold onto when you need it most. And above all, I hope they help you hear the sound of your own courage rising.
