The Tarryn Reeves Show
What does it actually take to build a life and business that means something?
The Tarryn Reeves Show is a podcast about the ideas that shape who we become.
Hosted by entrepreneur, author and publisher Tarryn Reeves, each episode explores the conversations, questions and experiences that influence how we live, lead, create and contribute. Through thoughtful interviews with entrepreneurs, authors, creators and original thinkers, alongside personal reflections from Tarryn, the show examines what it means to build something that genuinely matters.
At the heart of every conversation is a simple belief: ordinary people are capable of extraordinary impact. One honest idea, shared with courage and generosity, has the power to change another person's life.
You'll hear conversations about leadership, communication, identity, resilience, storytelling, marketing, publishing, the creator economy and the human experience; not as isolated topics, but as different expressions of the same enduring question: How do ordinary people realise the extraordinary potential they already possess and use it to leave the world better than they found it?
If you're looking for thoughtful conversations that leave you with a new perspective, a better question or a little more courage, you're in the right place.

Boundaries Aren’t for Them, They’re for You (And Here’s Why)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this powerful and deeply human episode of The Tarryn Reeves Show, I sit down with transformational coach Amy Pease to unpack one of the most misunderstood, and devastating, experiences people face: mental abuse, manipulation, and gaslighting.
Amy’s story is raw, courageous, and profoundly important.
After spending 25 years rising through leadership in the restaurant industry, Amy made a bold pivot, leaving it all behind to support her husband’s family auto body business. That leap allowed her to retire at just 44. But her true transformation came from surviving years of emotional manipulation, financial abuse, and psychological control within her adopted family, and then doing the deep work to heal what came after leaving.
In this episode, we go far beyond surface-level conversations about toxic relationships.
We talk about:
- How mental abuse and gaslighting actually show up in families, workplaces, and intimate relationships
- Why abuse is often disguised as “concern,” love, or protection
- The long-term psychological impact of manipulation and coercive control
- Why leaving an abusive situation is only the first step, and why the aftermath is where most people struggle
- How to rebuild self-worth, confidence, and identity after emotional trauma
- The role of boundaries, self-trust, and self-love in breaking cycles of people-pleasing
- How gaslighting rewires your inner critic, and how to reclaim your power
- Practical, grounded steps to recognise red flags, educate yourself, and begin healing
- Why boundaries are not about controlling others, but about honouring yourself
Amy also shares the pivotal moment that changed everything for her: a doctor who finally named the truth… that her suffering wasn’t “chemical,” broken, or something to be medicated away… it was situational. And that one moment became the catalyst for reclaiming her life.
This is not a fluffy conversation.
