Meet Tahnya Brown

In March 2020, as the world shut down and her father began to decline from Alzheimer’s, Tahnya Brown’s life changed.

For the next 1,447 days, she became a full-time caregiver. She navigated isolation, uncertainty, and the slow loss of the father she knew, while holding a family together and quietly disappearing inside the role.

That experience reshaped her life and became the foundation for her memoir, Blurred.

Before caregiving, Tahnya spent more than three decades working in leadership development and organizational change, partnering with Fortune 500 companies and senior executives. Today, her work is rooted in lived experience and shaped by years of guiding others through change.

She writes and speaks about the caregiver experience, identity loss, and what it takes to rebuild a sense of self after everything shifts. Her work explores what happens when women carry too much for too long, when caregiving becomes identity, and how we find our way back after profound personal change.
