Tashina King
With over 10 years of experience supporting and coaching women from all over the world, Tashina understands just how vital it is to look at the whole-woman when it comes to the goals and desires each woman has.

Through her tours and coaching practice she has coached over 8,000 individuals throughout the world on self-worth, confidence, and taking ownership of their life.
I’m excited for you to connect with Tashina, check out her work and impact, and follow along as she continues to share powerful coaching and subconscious belief-change for women who are ready to step into their power and confidently take ownership of their life.
I'd love it if you'd introduce yourself, what you do, and what you're working on.
I am Tashina King and am a woman who wears MANY hats!!! First and foremost, I am ME, which includes being a wife, mom of two, Entrepreneur and Founder of Empowered to Greatness. What I do for "work" is a Confidence and Mindset Coach, supporting individuals from all around the globe who feel overwhelmed, struggle with self doubt and who have lost confidence in themselves, take ownership of their power and create a life on their own terms, rooted in self worth.
How did you get started?
I got started with Confidence and Mindset coaching through my own struggles in my International Professional Dance Career. I had moved my entire life, on my own, to San Diego to pursue West Coast Swing. I dumped everything I had into training, practice, and competing. No matter the training and time spent practicing, I could not make a Finals round when I was competing. Even my mentors and coaches were perplexed as to why. I had danced since I was 2.5 years old, and my coaches were some of the top professionals in the circuit of West Coast Swing. It wasn't until I was ready to walk away from my childhood dream of being a Professional Dancer, did I hit rock bottom and have an honest and vulnerable conversation with myself....I didn't believe I was good enough. Everything around me was proving that belief to myself. I wasn't good enough.
I explored doing Hypnotherapy and another set of processes, called PSYCH-K, to help me work through and transform this deep rooted, subconscious belief in myself, that I wasn't good enough. As soon as I applied the PSYCH-K processes, literally within 2 months, without changing anything else in my life, I started making finals and placing in the top 5. Literally everything in my world started to change. I realized how my internal dialogue, my internal self-talk, and beliefs about myself and the world created the experiences I had in life.
I quickly started working with every limiting belief I could discover I had. I took ALL the trainings available in PSYCH-K so I could do the processes in real time and make immediate change in my life...at the subconscious level.
Long story short, 4 years later (to the day) I went from not making a Novice finals to making finals and placing 4th in the top professional level (called Champions).
What Inspired the work you’re doing?
After I saw the changes I personally and professionally had in my life by working with subconscious beliefs, I started using the processes with my dance students as I travelled around the globe teaching. They started having break throughs in their confidence, self-worth and value. As my coaching practice grew, I just fell in love with what I was doing!!! I am inspired every time I work with someone which continues to inspire me to keep sharing this work with others. The biggest inspiration is seeing an individual step into, and claim their personal power, live their life consciously, creating a life on their own terms.
What is your biggest passion? Do you feel like you're living your passion and purpose?
My biggest passion is what I've already shared. Getting to witness a person go from feeling like they are a victim of their life and/or their circumstances, feeling lost or paralyzed by overwhelm to connecting with their inner confidence, speak out and advocate their ideas and passions, parent their children from a healed/whole place, take the risks to promote their business on social media. Whatever the outcome looks like, getting to support and then witness a person co-create a life they were meant to live is absolutely incredible. I absolutely feel I am living my passion and purpose. Ten fold!!
What is your joy blueprint? What lights you up, brings you joy, and makes you feel the most alive?
I feel most alive when I am empowering individuals, connecting with and collaborating with others. What brings me joy is seeing my sons faces, bright with smiles. What brings me joy is sharing a dance with a complete stranger at a dance event, or a dance with my husband. What brings me joy is knowing I am consciously creating my life, at every turn and sharing with others that they too can create their life at every turn, living from an Empowered place!!
How do you live intentionally? Are there tools/resources/practices that you rely on to help you stay mindful and grounded?
I live my life intentionally by actively transforming my own limiting beliefs, thoughts and inner self-dialogue when I first become aware of them. It makes life more enjoyable, playful, more full of ease, peace, health, and opportunity. The specific way I do this is by utilizing the PSYCH-K processes.
What would your younger self think about what you're doing now?
She most definitely is proud of me. Proud of me for not giving up. Proud of me for living my passions and dreams. Proud of me for taking the time to heal and grow. She would say "Keep going!"
Do you have a go-to mantra or affirmation?
There is no right or wrong choice. There are choices that bring you more joy and than others. Choose the path that brings about the most joy!
What is your biggest dream?
Honestly, to keep doing what I am doing. Supporting individuals from all around the world to be their best selves!! I would love to be public speaking more, to a larger audience. To keep hosting transformational 1:1 and Group Coaching sessions. To continuously raise my children with this knowledge, nurturing them to be their best selves.
