Welcome to The Architect Initiative
My name is Taunja(pronounced Tonya). For 7 years, I was a business owner and a full-time caregiver for my grandma as she lived with us because she had Alzheimer’s. I raised 7 children. I’ve lived a full life of service, hard work, and deep love.
But life has chapters
Seven years ago, at age 45, I climbed into the cab of a semi-truck. I began a new chapter with my ex-husband. I thought it was going to be great. The long shifts,exhaustion,breakdowns led to the demise in our relationship and my dreams, or so I thought. I was now getting a divorce for the 3rd time. I was in debt. I was alone. I still had 3 more children to raise. I wanted to give up. Truthfully,I did give up for a few years. I stopped wanting to do anything. I threw in the towel. I cursed the ground I walked on most days.
You can’t keep a builder down forever. Somewhere between the 12 hour shifts, the miles of highway, the audiobooks, and podcasts,I realized I was still the daughter of the creator. I wasn’t just driving a truck; I was meant to design a new life and become a Architect-not just for me,but for others who feel like they’ve run out of road.
I eventually stopped cursing the ground and started looking at the horizon. I realized that my 7 years of caregiving, my 7 years of trucking, and my 7 children weren’t just chapters - they were credentials. I learned how to build when I was broken. Now, I’m here to help you pick up the tools and become the architect of your own second,third,fourth or whatever number this chapter is for you. LET’S DO THIS TOGETHER!
Why the Road Architect
I’ve learned that no matter where you are or what you’ve been through, you have the power to design your own life. You don’t have to just get by.
I know what feels like to have your blueprints shredded. I know the weight of exhaustion and the silence of a living room or the cab at 3am. I created The Architect Initiative because no matter how many times you’ve had to start over , you still have the power to design a life of Divine Inheritance.
This isn’t just my story; it’s a toolkit. Here, we talk about reclaiming your power,building through the burnout, and understanding the your ‘last chapter’ was actually just the foundation for something much bigger.
