You’re not broken — you learned to stay safe by staying agreeable

Maybe you keep the peace at your own expense.
Maybe you say yes when your body is saying no.
Maybe you explain, soften, or overthink — then feel resentful afterwards.

You’re kind, capable, and emotionally aware…
yet when pressure rises, your voice disappears and guilt takes over.

This isn’t a lack of confidence.


It’s a learned survival habit — and it can be unlearned.

This is an invitation to stop surviving emotionally — and start speaking from self-trust.

Move from reaction to reflection.

From pressure to peace.

From silence to self-leadership.

Using a clear, reflective process, you’ll learn how to:

  • recognise when people-pleasing is running the show

  • pause before you explain, justify, or override yourself

  • listen to anger as a signal for boundaries — not something to suppress

  • speak clearly and cleanly, without guilt or fear

  • build self-trust and emotional authority in everyday moments

This work helps you pause, listen, and respond with self-trust — instead of guilt or automatic people-pleasing.

Meet Tanya

Hi there! I’m Tanya Heasley, author of A Letter to My Anger and the creator of Anger-Informed Coaching® (AIC) — a framework that transforms anger from something feared into something deeply beneficial.

For over 20 years, I’ve helped people turn reactivity into reflection, conflict into connection, and stress into self-leadership.

As an autistic entrepreneur, coach, and researcher, I understand what it’s like to feel misunderstood, silenced, or “too much.” My work combines lived experience with evidence-based coaching to help you turn emotional struggle into strength.

It’s not about fixing yourself.
It’s about finding yourself — again.


Because anger, when understood, becomes a force for clarity, courage, and connection.
