Tania is a former police detective turned tech founder who now leads Astute, a company focused on safety and innovation. In this episode, we talk about the power of empathy in high-pressure roles, what policing taught her about connection, and how those lessons show up in her parenting.
We also touch on her journey through IVF and miscarriage, her experience with burnout, and how she found strength by owning her story. This is a conversation about resilience, leadership, and choosing softness in a world that often rewards the opposite.
