What others say about Tathra:
You got me to think beyond what I thought were reasonable limits into limitless thinking. (Coaching Client)
Tathra is white, queer, postmenopausal, neurodivergent and committed to bringing an intersectional lens to her work and worldview. Her settler heritage includes Russian, Ukrainian and Swiss-German ancestors who settled in the Canadian Prairies. And she was born in Australia with Irish and English ancestors also given land that wasnât theirs. She recognises the privilege of her place in âWesternâ colonised societies has come from the theft of Indigenous people and works to address this through reconciliation and continually looking for new ways to support Indigenous sovereignty, including decolonising her own practice.
She appreciates the nuances of the many intersectional identities that compound inequalities in our communities and works to make these more visible, and more widely understood. She aims to use her power and privilege in healthy ways and supports others to do the same through education and awareness raising through her leadership programs and skills-building workshops.
As a white-skinned person, she believes she shares the responsibility of addressing racism in our society and endeavours to practice anti-racism in ways that are genuine and not performative. She also recognises that this is risky and subject to criticism as well as simply failing to have the intended impact. Learning from these experiences is an important part of the process, however confronting or painful.
As a late-diagnosed ADHDer, she continues to learn how to manage the disabling aspects and utilise the strengths and joys of having a brain thatâs different from what is currently considered standard. She has significant misgivings about being out as neurodivergent while remaining committed to challenging the stigma by being open about her experience. She recognises that her own experience of disability is different and privileged as an invisible disability.
As a queer married woman, she appreciates her queer community as a place to celebrate queer joy and come together to support the parts of our community that are marginalised, discriminated against and experience various forms of violence.
She is continually learning and adapting to changing social environments and expectations. She aims to make a practice of saying âThank you for correcting meâ and âI was wrong, Iâm sorry.â
Tathra acknowledges that she lives, works and plays on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation and the enduring connection to the earth, sky and waterways. The ongoing impacts of colonisation continue to cause harm. The land was never ceded, it always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
