An Inspired Chat with Tatianna Clanton of Colorado Springs

We recently had the chance to connect with Tatianna Clanton and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Tatianna, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What is a normal day like for you right now?
Honestly, no two days look the same because I wear a lot of hats—mom, creative, clinician, and content girlie—but that’s exactly what keeps life interesting. If it’s a weekend, the first thing I do is my daily devotional. It’s my way of setting the tone before the chaos begins. Then I make my bed because starting the day with one small win is a must.
From there, I go straight into my planner and Google Calendar. I’ve learned that if I don’t check those first thing in the morning, the creative in me will run wild and the mom in me will forget at least three things. So I look over any brand videos that are due, anything I need to film or edit, and I answer emails while I still have coffee energy.
I try to be the most productive early in the day, so I’ll usually edit one or two top-priority videos to get them off my plate. Then I shift into mom mode—breakfast for me and the kids, which is its own full-time job.
At some point, I carve out an hour to go to the gym. That’s my personal reset button. After my workout, it’s back home to juggle the rest: getting things ready for the day, planning any activities for the kids, catching up on laundry, and tackling whatever else comes with being a household CEO.
So a “typical” day for me? It’s a blend of creativity, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and a whole lot of organized chaos. But I genuinely love it. Every hat I wear reflects a piece of who I am.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Absolutely! My name is Tati, and I’m a Colorado-based content creator, clinician, and full-time mom who somehow found a way to blend beauty, lifestyle, motherhood, and creativity into one ever-evolving brand. I like to say I’m a “multi-hyphenate in motion” because my life rarely fits into one lane—and honestly, that’s what makes it fun.
I create beauty, fashion, lifestyle, and gym-girl content across TikTok, Instagram, Lemon8, and YouTube. My brand is very much rooted in being the relatable, aesthetic big-sister energy on the internet—the girl who will show you how to feel sexy in your 30s, how to take care of your skin, how to romanticize being a single mom, and how to glow even on the days you’re running on coffee and vibes. I love helping women feel confident, put-together, and seen.
What makes my story unique is the balance I’ve had to learn as a single mom, a creative, and a clinician preparing for her LCSW. I didn’t grow my platform by pretending life is perfect. I grew by showing the real: moving into my own place, rebuilding my routine, raising kids while pursuing my dreams, and finding beauty in the chaos. My content mixes fun, aesthetics, vulnerability, and structure—because that’s literally my life.
Right now, I’m working on expanding my beauty and skincare content, taking people deeper into my gym journey (especially because everyone keeps asking about my physique), and creating more high-quality, aesthetic visuals that feel fun, grown, and relatable. My goal is to inspire women to step into their confidence, even on days when life is messy..
So in short: I’m a creator who wears a lot of hats, but every hat tells a part of my story—and I love inviting people into that journey with me.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
A moment that truly shaped how I see the world was becoming a single mom and stepping into my own place for the first time. That season forced me to rewrite the story I’d always been told — about what motherhood “should” look like, what being in your 30s “should” look like, and what women are “supposed” to do with their dreams.
When I started over, I realized something powerful: you can rebuild your life at any age, and honestly, it’s more fun when you understand yourself better. Starting over isn’t a failure. It’s a choice to grow. And I’m someone who takes that seriously — I work on myself as a woman, as a human, as an individual, and as a mom. I’ve learned that the more I pour into myself, the better I show up for my kids and for the people watching my journey online.
There’s also this narrative about single moms — that our lives stop, our dreams shrink, or that everything becomes limited. And there’s this strange pressure around turning 30, like you’re suddenly “too old” to create content or reinvent yourself. I love that the narrative is changing, and I’m proud to be one of the voices helping shift it. Being a single mom isn’t a weakness — it’s a part of my strength. Being 30 doesn’t mean you slow down — it means you step into your confidence.
That moment of rebuilding taught me that I can be whoever I want to be. If I want to create content, build a brand, grow in my career, or evolve as a woman, I’m going to do it — unapologetically. And that mindset shapes everything I create and everything I stand for.

What fear has held you back the most in your life?
If I’m being completely honest, the fear that’s held me back the most is the question that creeps into almost every creative’s mind at some point: What if none of this matters? What if all this effort is for nothing?
Even though I stand in my truth, share my story, and pour so much of myself into my content, there are moments where that little voice comes up and asks, “What if this is a waste of time?” It’s the fear of investing so much energy, creativity, and vulnerability into something… and it not paying off in the way you hope.
But the beautiful thing is that fear never stays long. It shows up, but it gets quiet again just as quickly. Because deep down, I know I’m meant to do this. Creating — sharing beauty, motherhood, growth, lifestyle, the gym, the glow-up, the chaos, all of it — is part of my purpose. I’ve always felt like there’s something I’m supposed to give to the world, and content has become that space for me.
And the truth is, you never know who’s watching, who’s listening, or who needed to hear something you said on a random Tuesday GRWM. Even being a “small creator,” I’ve had moments where someone tells me, “Your content helped me,” or “I relate to you,” or “Your story made me feel less alone.” That’s not nothing. That’s impact.
So yes, the fear shows up — that fear of wasting time, of not being enough, of not “making it.” But then I remember that purpose doesn’t need perfection to be real. I’m building something meaningful, even if it’s brick by brick. And every time I show up, I prove that fear wrong.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
Is the public version of me the real me? Oh, absolutely. What you see is what you get — but people love to fill in the blanks before they ever say hello.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told I look bougie, high maintenance, or like I wake up every morning demanding only the finest things in life. And look… do I have high standards? Of course. That’s called knowing your worth. But bougie? No. I just carry myself like I respect myself, and sometimes that alone intimidates people who haven’t even heard me crack a joke yet.
Because truthfully? I’m a whole goofball. I’m the girl laughing at my own jokes, dancing in the kitchen, and finding joy in the smallest little moments. I love people who are kind, funny, and genuine, and that’s the energy I try to give back.
But here’s the fun part: once people actually talk to me, they’re like, “Oh wait… you’re actually so chill.” And I’m just like, girl, yes — I promise I’m not as dramatic as my outfit or resting face might suggest. I’m caring, I’m grounded, I’m fun, and I’m honestly someone you wouldn’t expect until you get to know me.
So yes, the public me is the real me — it’s just not the whole me. The rest? You’ll have to meet me to find out… and trust me, it’s a pleasant surprise.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What will you regret not doing? 
If there’s one thing I would regret, it’s not giving myself the chance to see how far I could really go — as a creator, as a woman, and as a mom. I’ve spent so much of my life pouring into other people, uplifting others, and doing what I thought I was supposed to do. But now, I’m in this era where I’m choosing myself, choosing my dreams, and choosing the life I want to build.
I know I would regret it deeply if I didn’t take this content journey seriously, if I didn’t trust my creativity, or if I let fear convince me that I wasn’t meant for more. I’d regret not pushing my brand forward, not expanding my voice, not showing my kids what it looks like when you chase something you love wholeheartedly.
I would regret staying small just to make other people comfortable.
I would regret dimming myself to be “realistic.”
And I would regret not betting on myself when I know I have something to offer this world — a story, a perspective, a voice that someone out there needs.
Because at the end of the day, I don’t want to look back and think, “What if?”
I want to look back and say, “I did that — scared, unsure, tired, but I did it.”
And that’s exactly why I show up. For the version of me that refused to settle, for the woman I’m becoming, and for the people who see themselves in my journey.
