"A well-told story is a gift". Do you have a story to tell? 

My name is Dr. Tamea Ryan, and I work with people who have done a lot of inner work, yet still find themselves stuck making the same decisions, repeating familiar patterns, or questioning what no longer fits.

I hold a doctorate in organizational leadership and a master’s degree in social work. This background informs the grounded, systems-aware approach I bring to coaching, particularly around identity, transition, and decision-making.

Much of this struggle isn’t a lack of awareness. It’s the result of living from stories that once served us but no longer reflect who we are becoming.

Through narrative-based practices, I help people recognize the stories shaping their choices and learn how to make decisions that align with who they are now and not who they had to be.

The Lived Experiences was created to honor the insight people gain through living, while offering practical ways to translate that insight into clarity, direction, and real-life change. If you’re at a point where the old way no longer fits, you’re in the right place.
