The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Tanya Lopez, Event strategist for entrepreneurs, Ep 37.
Welcome to The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show. Each week, I interview amazing people, who share their inspiring stories of resilience. Enjoy our dive deep into educational and amazing insights as I explore the stories of my special guests, learning how they have overcome adversity in their lives.
In each session, together we can learn actionable tools that can help us elevate our mindset, seeing our setbacks as an opportunity to grow to the next stage of our lives. No matter what we are going through, we can overcome it, and discover what we are made of.
To Bend Like Bamboo is to be flexible in our mindset, and when we can transform our ‘story’ we can also change our minds about what can be possible in our minds, bodies, and lives.

“ While head of Mindvalley events, Tanya’s leadership, vision, and creativity helped make A-Fest THE personal growth and entrepreneurship conference to attend — described as an epic “Burning Man meets TedX” event, Tanya always brought the WOW factor that left guests awed and talking about their experience for years. With a sharp business sense and strategic vision, she also led efforts in scaling and growing A-Fest by expanding to Asia and Europe — all while receiving off-the-charts feedback and ratings, significantly growing profits and revenue, and helping to create and nurturing a global Tribe. Over our many years of working together, I’ve come to trust Tanya to create simply amazing events and experiences that take people through a deep journey and create lasting impact and transformation.”

Tanya Lopez
Tanya is gorgeous and has had an incredible career. This interview really inspired me to remember to trust. These are the moments that matter when we are faced with uncertainty and do not know what is coming next. Who we are in these moments is what matters. Whether we are humming along in life and it seems to be in our control, or if we are faced with an ending and a total rebuild, in reality, Tanya says that we never really know what is coming next.
So true! All we have is the present moment, and to find joy in that, the most creative and productive state we can be in.
What does resilience mean to Tanya? “Getting back up when life knocks us down. Finding that anchor within ourselves, that inner knowing that reminds us that we are ok. This part of us can be inaccessible at times” says Tanya. Today I learned how Tanya goes about evoking this state within herself that has helped her to rebuild her business and life, after having a career in live events prior to Covid.
5 years ago, life gave Tanya not just one blow but about 5 blows all at once. You know how that feels, when one thing seems to unravel one after the other, un-achoring you and turning your world completely upside down.
Tanya was born in New Jersey, and has lived in Florida, Malaysia, LA, and New York. She has travelled extensively running global live events and has loved a career in events management. Tanya was living in Spain, Ibiza and had travelled to Bali for the winter. During Covid, she could not get home, so she had to give up her lease and stayed in Bali, a wonderful decision that led to her finding a long-term home, where she also met her partner who she now lives with. She has adopted 3 furbabies and life has come full circle.
However a few years ago, this had not yet unfolded, and Taya had to pivot her business to survive. She adopted a morning practice that helped her to re-anchor within herself. A ritual she recommends as a first step. This helps her to re-centre and reconnect back to herself, and also something that is greater than herself. She decided to repackage her offering to help other entrepreneurs to deliver successful events (in person and online) and he has not looked back.
Tanya believes that our hurdles are blessings in our lives, and if we can facilitate the right mindset to see the world through these lenses, we can be led onto a new path and trajectory that is more aligned with who we are next in our lives.
In one year she hit 6 figures, want to know how she did it?
“When I leap, the answer always appears. I am always ok. As I build my resilience and confidence to keep leaping, I get better at trusting the process” Says Tanya.
“I have learned to trust myself, the process, that the answers are within me, I have the resources around me, I will always know what the next step will be and that life is always working out for me.” Says Tanya.
Tanya’s tips:
Explore a personal practice, connection with self, and also something that is greater than you. I dance, shake, pray, meditate, journal and make it fun, asking my body what it needs every morning.
Create a life vision for yourself, relationships, finances, health, and fitness. Connect to the vision of the future, instead of the past.
Remember your power, and how amazing you are.
