We’re looking forward to introducing you to Tania Torres. Check out our conversation below.
Good morning Tania, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? Have you ever been glad you didn’t act fast?
Yes, there was a time when I was offered a new job opportunity. My first instinct was to accept immediately, but I decided to take a day to carefully consider how it aligned with my career goals and personal priorities. By waiting, I realized I could negotiate better terms and ensure it was the right fit for me. I was glad I didn’t act fast because it taught me the value of thoughtful decision-making and prioritizing long-term growth over a quick yes.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Tania Torres. I run an independent reselling business where I source products strategically and create value through smart buying, pricing, and presentation. At its core, my work is about recognizing opportunity—finding items with potential, understanding market demand, and positioning them in a way that makes sense for both the customer and the business. What makes my work unique is the blend of intuition, research, and creativity behind it. With a background in design and marketing, I don’t just resell products—I focus on branding, storytelling, and visual appeal to make each offering stand out. I’m currently expanding my operations, refining my sourcing strategy, and continuing to build something that’s flexible, intentional, and rooted in long-term growth.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
I don’t think it was one specific person. Clarity came through experience—by building, failing, learning, and paying attention to what consistently worked. Along the way, my friendships offered support and perspective, and I deeply appreciate them. Over time, the patterns became clear, and so did I.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes, but not in a dramatic way. There were moments when I questioned the pace, the uncertainty, and whether I was moving fast enough. Instead of giving up, I learned to pause, recalibrate, and trust that growth doesn’t always look loud or linear. Those quieter moments taught me patience and helped me stay aligned with what actually matters to me.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
They’d probably say I care deeply about freedom, authenticity, and growth. About having space to create, to evolve, and to live honestly—while still valuing real connection and showing up for the people I love. Balance matters to me, even if I’m always learning how to protect it.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
I understand how deeply mental health and emotional intelligence shape everything—our relationships, decisions, and sense of self. Small, unaddressed patterns can quietly influence entire lives, while self-awareness can change the trajectory of things in subtle but powerful ways. Once you truly see that, it becomes difficult to navigate the world without more intention and compassion.
