HerStory Podcast Episode 8: Accepting the Invitation to Shift
Written by: Grace Kisile
“Every relationship, every circumstance, every challenge that I’m confronted with is God’s way of encouraging me and inviting me to be part of the healing process.”
In this episode of the HerStory Podcast, we dive deep into the inspiring journey of Tasnah Bercy, a dynamic entrepreneur, wife, and mother of two young children living in Kodiak, Alaska. Alongside her husband, she runs a sport fishing charter business and operates her own art and event planning business. With over a decade of experience in ministry, Tasnah has worked extensively with young adults in leadership roles, and now, alongside her husband, she co-directs the National Ocean Challenge program, a summer program that fosters personal growth and faith through experiential learning. Through her multi-faceted life, Tasnah has learned how to embrace growth and authenticity in every role she occupies, from mother to entrepreneur to leader.
A central theme of this conversation is the importance of accepting life's invitation to shift and grow. Tasnah shares how, through her experiences of navigating marriage, motherhood, and entrepreneurship, she has learned to integrate authenticity, vulnerability, and faith into her leadership style. Her reflections on generational healing highlight how she consciously works to break cycles and build a better future for her children. Inspired by the strength, compassion, and unwavering commitment to family and faith shown by Mother Moon, Tasnah strives to lead with nurturing care and visionary thinking, balancing her many roles while remaining grounded in her values of love, faith, and feminine leadership.
In this powerful episode, Tasnah also discusses the impact of her children on her growth journey. As she navigates the challenges of being both a leader and a mother, her children act as mirrors, reflecting the areas where she must grow and heal. Her insights on the importance of embracing one’s struggles with compassion and not running away from challenges are profound. Tasnah reminds us that personal growth, leadership, and family are all interconnected, and that the journey of transformation is one of continuous learning and shifting. This conversation offers an inspiring message to anyone seeking to balance their own roles and responsibilities while remaining authentic, compassionate, and true to their vision for the future.
