We’re looking forward to introducing you to Tawnie Breaux. Check out our conversation below.
Tawnie, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
Most mornings start quietly, before the rest of the world gets loud. I take my dogs for a walk or rollerbalding (they’re my accountability partners). Then it’s coffee and some time in my Bible. If I’m lucky, I’ll sneak in yoga or a quick workout, followed by a few intentional breaths before I get ready and dive into my calendar.
From there, I review my team’s priorities, check our Success Headway dashboards, and write down the top three things that will actually move the needle.
If it’s the weekend, the focus shifts: more yoga, more mindfulness, more space to breathe.
By 8:00 a.m., I’m fully in CEO mode — but those first 90 minutes? That’s my reset button.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Tawnie Breaux, Founder and CEO of Success Headway, a marketing agency that helps health, wellness, and service-based businesses grow through smart systems, authentic branding, and automation that actually makes life easier.
I started Success Headway because I saw so many amazing business owners pouring their hearts into what they do, but struggling to get the visibility and structure they needed to scale. Our team focuses on connection over chaos — creating marketing strategies that not only attract leads but also convert them through personalized websites, Google Ads, CRM automation, and done-for-you systems.
I also lead Holistic View Retreats, where I bring my yoga and coaching backgrounds together — helping women and entrepreneurs reset, recharge, and realign with what truly matters.
What makes my work special is that it blends two worlds: business strategy and soulful balance. I believe you can grow your business and stay grounded. Right now, we’re expanding our Success Headway tools, training programs, and retreats to help even more people find that rhythm between success and sanity.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
When I was a child, I believed I had to have everything figured out — that success meant following a straight, predictable path. I thought being “good” meant keeping everyone happy, never failing, and never making a mess of things.
Now I know that growth is messy. The best lessons come from detours, risks, and even the times I fell flat on my face. I’ve learned that clarity doesn’t come from control; it comes from courage and forgiveness.
Today, I give myself permission to evolve, change directions, and chase what lights me up — even when it doesn’t fit neatly into anyone else’s definition of success.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
If I could say one kind thing to my younger self, it would be this:
Love yourself more. Stop chasing approval and start seeing the beauty in who you already are. You don’t have to prove your worth — you were born with it. Every mistake, every heartbreak, every “almost” moment was shaping you into the woman you were meant to become.
You are forgiven — fully, deeply, completely. Let go of the guilt and the “should haves.” God’s grace has already covered it. You don’t have to carry everything on your shoulders anymore.
You are worthy of love, peace, and joy — not because of what you do, but because of who you are. The softness, the strength, the resilience — it’s all part of your story.
And one day, you’ll look back and realize that the girl who doubted herself the most was the one God was preparing to lead with purpose.
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 important truth do very few people agree with you on?
An important truth I believe, that not everyone agrees with, is that you don’t have to hustle yourself into burnout to build something great.
For so long, our culture glorified “busy.” Early mornings, late nights, and wearing exhaustion like a badge of honor. But I’ve learned that true success doesn’t come from overworking; it comes from alignment. When your work connects with your purpose, things begin to flow differently.
Rest is not weakness. Clarity isn’t found in chaos. And peace is a strategy, not a luxury. I know it’s unpopular in a world that praises constant movement, but I’ll stand by it: slowing down isn’t falling behind, it’s making room for divine direction.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What false labels are you still carrying?
The false labels I’m still working on letting go of are “too much” and “not enough.”
It’s funny how those two can live side by side. For so long, I felt like I had to tone myself down — be quieter, smaller, more “acceptable.” I carried the label of too ambitious, too emotional, too strong, too soft. All at once.
And then, when I started leading, building, and creating things that mattered to me, a new label crept in — not enough. Not doing enough, not giving enough, not being enough.
I think many women carry those words like invisible weights. They show up, smile, and keep leading — but inside, there’s still a tug-of-war between who they are and who they think they have to be.
I’m learning to drop both labels. I’m not too much or not enough, I’m exactly who I’m meant to be in this season. God didn’t make me to fit; He made me to shine. And that’s what I’m choosing to walk in now.
