Tanya Michele Baker is a Leadership & Empowerment Coach, survivor-advocate, and founder of the TMB Heartbreak to Happiness Collective™. With 30 years in leadership and management—including leading a 400-strong women’s team across Australasia—Tanya blends real-world rigour with deep compassion. She is the founder of TMB – Tanya Michele Baker, supporting women after narcissistic and emotional abuse and betrayal; a nationally accredited Trainer & Assessor and trainer of trainers; an event director; and an entrepreneur (founder of e-commerce start-up Tahana The Label). She holds formal qualifications in Leadership & Management, Training Design & Development, Vocational Education & Training, Business, Business Administration, and Sales & Marketing.

Tanya created Take Back Your Power™ after hearing the same overwhelmed questions again and again: “What is going on? Where do I start? Why did this happen? How will I tell the kids? How can I afford this? Why does he still contact me? Why do I keep going back to someone who has hurt me? How do I co-parent when I can’t even look at him?” Her mission is to slow the chaos, restore clarity, offer the insight of someone who’s been there, and deliver answers in one day—bringing trusted experts in psychology, law, finance, and mindfulness into one elegant room so women leave with validation, a plan, and next steps.

Her core message: it is not your fault.

Betrayal and abuse are about the other person’s unhealed self. You can reclaim boundaries, rebuild self-trust, and transform—from heartbreak to happiness—without dimming your light or feeling confused, anxious, or like you’re losing it all.
