You Are Here
A Grateful Twist on Life’s Disruptions & Hardest Moments
The You Are Here podcast shares inspiring stories of resilience, featuring women who have overcome incredible adversity and discovered new paths that lead to unexpected destinations.
Capturing stories from the lens to the mic
Life’s toughest moments don’t come with a map, and healing doesn’t happen on a schedule...or in isolation.
You Are Here is a space for women who’ve faced deep upheaval—whether from loss, illness, reinvention, or awakening—and found unexpected strength and new directions. This podcast shares raw, inspiring stories of resilience and transformation, because sometimes just knowing you’re not alone can change everything.
Why I’m Sharing Your Stories
I’m Tanya Boggs — personal branding and portrait photographer based in Los Angeles and Charleston, SC, creative director, and witness to countless journeys of change. After 25 years behind the camera, I know this: transformation isn’t about perfection or poses; it’s about being seen, truly and without judgment.
You Are Here grows in tandem with my portrait project and personal branding photography, where I invite women to show up for themselves honestly, in a space that honors who they are becoming.
