Founder
Positive Awe™ was created by Tanya Owens, a dynamic entrepreneur, consultant, fine art photographer, singer/songwriter, podcaster, public speaker, minister, and writer. Tanya wears many hats, but her mission across all her ventures is the same: to inspire, uplift, and ignite a sense of awe in the beauty of life.
Newsletter
The Positive Awe Newsletter was born from Tanya’s passion for spreading positivity and creating spaces that refresh the soul. Whether you’re looking for #MusicThatInspires—uplifting gospel and inspirational songs to brighten your day—or heartfelt stories that serve as palate cleansers for a weary world, this is your haven.
Through meditations, reflections, and content curated to celebrate the best of humanity, Tanya invites you to pause, breathe, and embrace the beauty of positivity. Here, the focus is on celebrating the light even amidst life’s complexities.
