Meet Tangela Broussard | Goal Achievement and Accountability Coach For Mother’s and Wives

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tangela Broussard and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tangela, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting my life coaching business, Pathfinder’s Experience, was deeply rooted in my personal journey. I wanted to support women, especially mothers and wives, who aspire to achieve their goals but feel constrained by the demands of everyday life.

After the birth of my second child, I found myself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and lost. Like many women, I put my dreams on hold, struggling to find time and energy for personal goals amidst the responsibilities of motherhood and marriage. However, I remembered that before this challenging period, I had always been a self-motivator, driven by a strong sense of achievement.

Reconnecting with that part of myself was transformative. I realized that it is possible to juggle life’s responsibilities and still pursue personal aspirations. This realization fueled my passion to help other women navigate similar challenges. I started Pathfinder’s Experience to empower women to achieve their goals without sacrificing their roles as mothers and wives.

Through my business, I aim to provide the guidance and support that I once needed, helping women find their way back to their ambitions and dreams. I take immense pride in seeing them succeed and thrive, just as I did. My journey has taught me that with the right support and mindset, anything is possible, and I am dedicated to sharing that belief with others.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My business, Pathfinder’s Experience, is truly one of a kind because my passion is infused into every aspect of the program. I pride myself on being a good listener and always keeping the primary focus on helping my clients. Before we even start working on their goals, we focus on mindset. It’s crucial for my clients to understand that they wholeheartedly deserve everything they desire. A positive mindset is about 80% of the journey toward achieving their vision.

One of the key features that sets my program apart is the personalized approach. I sit down with each woman to customize a plan that fits her unique schedule and lifestyle. This tailored approach ensures that the plan is realistic and achievable for her. The success of my program speaks for itself, with a 90% success rate of women achieving and completing their goals. Seeing these transformations brings me immense joy.

The success of my business in just over a year can be attributed to the principles I teach in my signature 5-step program. These steps are:

Focus on your why: Understanding your core motivation.
Research and brainstorm: Exploring ways to achieve your goals.
Create a customized plan: Developing a tailored roadmap.
Work the plan consistently: Staying dedicated and consistent.
Achieve: Celebrating the milestones and final accomplishments.
This method has not only worked for me but also for many others. I believe in the value of making mistakes because there’s magic in the mess-ups. Mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow, and I encourage my clients to view them as such. Overcoming challenges often involves revisiting the “why” that fuels my business and perseverance.

I’ve learned that it’s crucial to keep negativity—whether from people or thoughts—at bay. Negative thoughts will always arise, but it’s important to replace them with positive ones. Giving yourself grace when you mess up is key; just keep moving forward and only look back to see how far you’ve come.

My personal journey, which began with humble beginnings and overcoming significant challenges, has taught me resilience. Growing up with parents who struggled with addiction and repeating the 7th grade, I know firsthand how difficult life can be. Yet, I am a living testimony that we should never give up.

I’m not just a life coach; I call myself the “Women’s Champ” and refer to all women striving for their goals as Women Champs. This belief inspired me to start my own athletic apparel business. The vision for this business comes from my love for exercise and the movie Rocky. Women wear many hats and often feel overwhelmed, but like champions, we always get back up. This resilience is what makes us champions, and it’s the spirit I aim to inspire in every woman I work with.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my friend were visiting for the week, I’d focus on relaxation and enjoyable experiences. First, we’d head to a spa for a pampering session, including a mani/pedi or a massage to unwind and start the visit on a relaxing note. After that, we’d grab a bite to eat at one of my favorite restaurants, either a vibrant Mexican spot or a delicious Chinese restaurant, depending on what we’re in the mood for.

In the evening, I’d take them out for a night on the town. We’d visit one of my favorite spots with a live band or some great music—a chill place with an excellent vibe. It’s all about creating a balanced mix of relaxation and fun, ensuring they leave feeling refreshed and entertained.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Absolutely. First and foremost, I’d like to shout out my husband. God truly could not have sent me a better life partner. He has been incredibly supportive of everything I do, always offering sound advice whether I’m right or wrong. He is my rock, my shoulder to lean on, and a steadfast provider. He has been there through every step of my journey, and I am profoundly grateful for his unwavering support. I love him deeply and thank him from the bottom of my heart.

Secondly, I would like to thank my Zumba coach, Mrs. Christina Young. She was also God-sent. I struggled with my weight for many years, to the point where I was about to give up. But once I was referred to her, she changed my life for the better. Thanks to her, I have been able to maintain a healthy weight for the last three years. She not only teaches women how to lose weight, but she also educates us on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I would recommend her program to anyone, and I am truly grateful our paths crossed. She is an angel and a beautiful person inside and out. She gave me my fire back.
