In the aftermath of COVID, I found myself emotionally untethered, functioning, employed, but feeling disposable in nearly every area of my life. In March 2021, I scheduled my first Zoom session with Tiana Jovana. 


Within seconds, she noticed something was off. The tone she took with me in that moment pierced straight through my exterior. I broke down in tears. It was the first time in a long time someone saw me. Not just what I was doing, but who I was and where I was hurting. I was navigating a painful on-again, off-again relationship and felt completely disoriented. But through regular coaching sessions with Tiana, I began to find grounding. Her presence was like a mirror and a map, reflecting back my truth and guiding me forward. 


I had already purchased her book “Dating Advice From a Manwhore: A Guide to Overcoming Self-Doubt, Relationship Struggles, and Finding Your Authentic Self” but hadn’t opened it. Then came a stretch of days where I couldn't stop crying. In desperation, I finally picked it up and read it cover to cover in one sitting. It was as if the fog lifted. I felt so empowered that I immediately bought copies for the women in my circle. 


Not long after, I started using her “Daily Intention and Gratitude Journal” (on Amazon). I hadn’t realized how disconnected I had become from the present moment. This journal helped me recenter. Gratitude became a grounding force and sacred daily ritual. It brought me back to the parts of myself I’d forgotten... gentle, capable, powerful. 


Then came the “Daily Meditation and Mindfulness Journal.” I had been meditating before, but this journal took it to another level. Writing to the prompts deepened my awareness and sharpened my intuition. I could feel the shifts. My mornings flowed smoother, my thoughts became clearer, and I could sense energy (mine and others’) with more precision. 


Our sessions evolved - going from weekly, to biweekly, and then monthly. The work I was doing through her books and journals allowed me to unpack my thoughts on my own, in between our conversations. 


The growth was real. 


When our coaching journey turned toward my entrepreneurship and personal legacy, Tiana encouraged me to start the “60-Day Dream Life Manifestation Planner.” At first, I wanted to lie in the workbook. Not to anyone else, but to myself. That’s how real it was. But then I thought, “If I can’t be honest with myself, how will I ever level up?” That planner cracked me open in the best way. I answered every question. Did every prompt. Created the plan. And things began to align. 


Let me be clear, it wasn’t easy. Facing my truth, my patterns, my part in how my life had unfolded, that was hard. But the way the journal is written helped me move through the discomfort with grace. Once your brain is present with the changes you're willing to make, your truth becomes your north star. Everything began to shift, in Divine time.


Overcoming self was 90% of the battle, and having these tools felt like having Tiana beside me every day. My coaching calls eventually moved to quarterly. I began calling her when new ideas struck, looking for insight, alignment, and a roadmap. Every time I doubted myself, she would remind me of the work I had done and the dreams I had voiced. She realigned me with my truth, every time. 


Tiana Jovana and her Guidance For Grown Folks brand gave me more than coaching. They gave me back to myself. Her compassion, honesty, and authenticity inspired me to pay it forward, supporting others with the skills I had once overlooked in myself. One brick at a time, with grace. That’s how you build a foundation. And once the mental fog clears, you can breathe. Then you move forward with inspired tenacity, aligned, present, and grateful. 


Forever thankful,

Protected my peace and saved my marriage.

I’m B and I was hoping for a change in my life to where I wasn’t always the one needing to do everything. I truly didn’t expect Tiana to fully get me there, however that’s exactly what she did plus more in less than six weeks without feeling overwhelmed. Tiana helped me gain insight as to why I felt things needed to go my way or no way and she gave me things to do each week to assist in my “letting the little things go”. I was surprised that she was able to identify the past issues that create how I am now. I believe that I am winning in my daily life now since my coaching and I really call it my therapy☺️ by letting go of things that I know darn well I shouldn’t be attempting to control. Some things are meant to be let go and I can allow others to do things. I believe that getting coaching from Tiana would help someone who needs that person to listen to them and be truthful without being hurtful. She was attentive and extremely supportive. Tiana helped me more than just exposing why I do and think how I do, she helped my marriage and for that and am truly thankful for her🤍♾️🤍

Tiana came into my life at one of the toughest moments of my life: breakups due to cheating. For those who have experienced this type of heartache, it’s soul crushing. It literally knocks the life out of you. Tiana’s friendship, coaching and guidance helped me through this tough journey in finding myself again. Manifesting a journey so that I can heal and come out the other end being a better version of myself. A better version for my children. Tiana always had and has this amazing aura about her. She always knew what to say and sometimes it didn’t take words but just her presence alone knowing that she was always there. She knows how to roll with the punches and always stays positive manifesting all the goodness around her. Her coaching has helped me to become the person I am today — someone who is at peace with herself and confident being a strong independent single mom. I would definitely recommend working with Tiana to help coach and manifest their best life. She is someone who doesn’t just preach her beliefs but truly believes and lives by them. Love her!

There have been more times than I can count when I’ve come to Tiana completely overwhelmed—on the edge of tears or already in them—and somehow, she always knows what to do. She doesn’t try to fix everything for me. Instead, she grounds me. She listens without judgment, offers space when I need it, and gently reminds me that it’s okay to fall apart for a moment. She’s helped me see things differently—not by giving answers, but by asking the kinds of questions that shift my whole perspective. In moments when I’ve felt stuck, she’s been the voice of clarity. When I couldn’t stop crying, she made me laugh. And when I needed to cry, she simply sat with me in it. Her guidance isn’t flashy—it’s deeply real, rooted in wisdom, empathy, and lived experience. I’m better because of her support. I’m stronger, more self-aware, and more capable of navigating life’s challenging moments thanks to her presence in my corner.

I first encountered Tiana at a speaking engagement where, even among accomplished professionals, her presence was magnetic. What began as a single interaction evolved into a chorus of recommendations from colleagues I deeply respect. Each recommendation confirmed what I had already recognized: Tiana possesses that rare combination of exceptional talent and authentic character. Co-authoring my memoir with Tiana revealed her full capabilities. She doesn't simply execute tasks; she transforms the entire creative process. Her approach combines surgical precision with strategic vision, anticipating needs before they surface. She delivers clarity at precisely the moment when complexity threatens to overwhelm. What truly sets Tiana apart is her bias for action. She moves with purpose and urgency, turning momentum into results. Her deep expertise is paired with an intuitive understanding of what truly matters. She possesses the rare ability to motivate through grace, empathy, and infectious optimism that transforms even the most challenging works into something inspiring. Tiana is more than a collaborator. She's a force multiplier. She doesn't just help you achieve your existing goals; she expands your vision of what's possible. Her investment in your success runs deeper than a professional obligation; it's personal, authentic, and transformative. In a world of capable professionals, Tiana stands out as someone who delivers exceptional results and an elevated experience. She leaves every project and person better than she found them. My recommendation is simple: if you have the opportunity to work with Tiana, seize it immediately. You'll gain not just a skilled professional, but a trusted partner who will challenge you to reach heights you hadn't imagined possible.
