I'M TONJE

 

My passion is compassion! as a mother of 4 with 3 living children I know firsthand how life can fall apart in an instant. After building myself a new life filled with joy, I see it as my purpose in life to help others do the same. I want to be an inspiration and help others reclaim their life so they can achieve their own amazing goals in a life filed with joy.

MY STORY

 

I have always been a «fixer» and love helping others, but it wasn’t until I built my «second life» I understood how I could incorporate this into a meningsfull life.

After college I went into what I thought was more obvious work options.. First I became a helicopter pilot and instructor working for several years in US, then went into construction when I moved to Norway with my husband. Next I worked as designer, then became a interior architect and photographer. Though I have always been good at what I do (and I still love flying and photography!) Non of these paths for filed my desire to help others in a meaningful way.

But February 9. 2018, my life as I knew it fell apart. I was away on a work assignment when I got a phone call… my beautiful super healthy 1,5 year old daughter was dead. She had run up the stairs on the 8. Going to bed with a smile but then didn’t wake up in the morning.

When something like this happens life is put in a whole new perspective and I knew I had to find new meaning. I knew I didn’t want to go back to “normal” work, I had to find some way to contribute and do good in the world.

 Since that day I have been on a constant personal growth journey. And I finally realized that this is my purpose!

My passion is compassion and I truly believe I can help others who are suffering with grief make the journey into a new life shorter and less painful.

 

 

have experienced a lot, but with out a doubt the hardest, was the death of my daughter in 2018. That completely destroyed my life ,but it also sparked a desire to bring some good in to the world. I couldn’t go back to doing the things I was doing because it didn’t feel important anymore. And I just wanted to help others, even though I had no clue how. 

However at that point I was not living for myself anymore i was really just moving throughthe days. But one day on a walk I had an Epiphany. It just popped into my head that I can grief and be happy at the same time. That was the big breakthrough moment for me to start living again and I became determined to create a even better life than the one I had before.

Since then It’s  been a long journey to achieve the mental wellbeing and joy I experience today, it has come through a lot of personal growth and development. I got really clear on my why and realized my what is to help make this journey shorter and less painful for others suffering with grief. 

As someone who used to suffer so bad with public speaking , I lost my voice in my own wedding because I plans to say thank you to our 30 guests for coming.

I now want to create a podcast.. My old self would call me crazy, but Because the thought of being able to help even 1 person is so much more powerful that the fears of my ego I know I can do it

now that I have found a way that I can contribute I am so excited about the future and how this event is going to help me move towards it!
