Meet Tarryn Thomas

Your Guide to Living Like a Queen.

My STORY

I’m Tarryn Thomas, founder of Tarryn Thomas Consulting and Lux Viking Life and a modern advocate for women reclaiming their sovereignty.

My journey culminated when I became a mom and with the realization that true power lies in balancing strength and sensitivity—a wisdom inspired by the Viking queens of old.

As a wife, a mother, a leader and a highly sensitive woman, I understand the unique challenges of living a life that honors both ambition and authenticity.

Lux Viking Life is my way of helping other women, like you, craft lives that feel deeply aligned, exquisitely intentional and profoundly fulfilling.

My JOUrney

Loving Home

I always felt everything deeply. Every shift, every loss, every unspoken emotion in the room. But for most of my life, I didn’t understand why.

I grew up in a loving home—until, one day, everything changed. When I was about 10, my mother was held at gunpoint. In an instant, safety became an illusion. My family fractured. My mother became trapped in fear. My father withdrew. The warmth of my childhood faded, replaced by uncertainty.

By 15, I was faced with a choice no girl should have to make—stay in an abusive home or walk away with nothing. My sister and I left. I was angry. I was scared. But more than anything, I knew I could never look back.

That was my first initiation. The moment I learned that survival requires trust—not in others, but in myself.

The Illusion of Control

I built a life on my own terms.
• Earned a full bursary (scholarship) and excelled in academia.
• Married my high school sweetheart and moved to New Zealand.
• Climbed the ranks in multiple industries, from government to dance, sales to leadership, coaching to training.

On the outside, it was the perfect life. But inside, I was still that girl—proving, perfecting, pushing through. I stayed too long in situations that drained me. Ignored my intuition when it told me to walk away. Held on to what was “safe” even when my soul was begging for more.

Then, it all collapsed

The coaching company I had built my future around shut down overnight—thousands in unpaid earnings, gone along with the community I invested so much in (emotionally, mentally and physically). The weight of disappointment crushed me. And in the middle of it all, I faced a deeper truth: I was in the wrong life.

I met the man who would become my husband and knew everything was about to change.

The Hardest Decision I have EVER made

Walking away from my first marriage after nearly 20 years was the hardest decision I’ve EVER made. But I couldn’t ignore the truth anymore. I had spent my whole life being responsible, holding things together, doing what was expected. Now, I had to trust myself enough to choose something different.

And that trust would be tested.

Burning It All Down to Begin Again

Immigration battles. Border detainments. Six months trapped in New Zealand during COVID. Being denied entry to the U.S. and sent back. Miraculously securing a visa on the only day the consulate was open.

And then, rock bottom—arriving in the U.S. with no income, no home, and no clear path forward. I was homeless, living out of a Kia Sedona. I had left everything—my first love, my career, my stability—for this unknown future. And I questioned, over and over: Had I made an unforgivable mistake?

But in the depths of uncertainty, something else emerged—freedom.

Even with nowhere to call home, I had the open road. My now-husband and I became nomads, traveling wherever we could. Instead of feeling trapped by our circumstances, we found a different kind of wealth—the ability to move, to explore, to create our own way forward. It was then I realized: true sovereignty isn’t about external security—it’s about trusting yourself enough to thrive in any situation.

Love, Reimagined

In June 2021, we stood in Monterey Bay, a place that had always felt sacred to us, and chose each other. There were no grand ceremonies, no elaborate guest lists—just my husband, his two oldest sons, and the quiet magic of the sea. After the ceremony, we visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium, letting the day unfold in its own perfect way.

It was intimate, real, and deeply meaningful—a reflection of everything I had come to value.

Birth: The Ultimate Initiation

Nothing has shaped me more than becoming a mother.

My son’s birth wasn’t just the moment I became a mother—it was the moment I finally understood my own power. He was born at home, just my husband and I, in the quiet darkness of the early hours. No interventions, no one telling me what to do. Just deep, unwavering trust. Trust in my body. Trust in my instincts. Trust in the divine intelligence that guided me.

Soon after that moment, everything clicked.

I realized why my whole life had felt like a battle. I wasn’t broken—I was highly sensitive. My son was, too. And for the first time, I saw my past through a new lens. Every deep emotion, every gut feeling, every moment of overwhelm—it all made sense.

The world tells highly sensitive, conscientious women that they have to push through, toughen up, and ignore their intuition. But what if our sensitivity is actually our greatest gift?

What if trusting ourselves is the most powerful thing we can do?

The Warrior Queen’s Path

I’ve walked through fire—again and again (and may still in the future). Not just to survive, but to alchemize my experiences into wisdom, power and purpose.

That is what I guide other women through.

Most women are living in one of two places:
   • The Girl Stage: Still seeking external validation, afraid to take up space.
   • The Woman Stage: Over-responsible, proving, perfecting, pushing through.

But the true transformation comes in the Queen Stage—where you trust yourself so deeply that you no longer seek permission. You lead with ease. You create wealth, love and success without sacrificing yourself. You embody sovereignty.

This is what I teach:
• How to move through life’s biggest transitions with clarity and trust.
• How to break free from perfectionism, self-sacrifice, and fear.
• How to lead, love, and live as a woman who is truly sovereign.

Because anything is possible—when you trust yourself!

The Leadership Trinity

Inspired by the Valknut, a symbol of three interlocking triangles representing strength, connection, and the cycle of life, this model embodies the heart of the Lux Viking Life philosophy. It reflects the journey of extraordinary women who balance Relationships, Leadership, and Personal Strength—living with purpose and embodying the spirit of a modern Viking Queen.

At its center lies Personal Strength, the foundation of resilience and self-leadership, empowering women to face challenges with clarity and courage.

Surrounding this core are three timeless values:

  • Love: A sacred force that nurtures trust, vulnerability, and profound connections, essential for meaningful relationships.
  • Loyalty: The unshakable commitment to one’s values, community, and purpose, forging bonds of respect and honor.
  • Legacy: The enduring mark of a true leader, shaped by strength, vision, and the desire to inspire future generations.

Rooted in the Viking tradition of honor, resilience, and leadership, this framework offers a roadmap for women who aspire to lead with authenticity, cultivate deep connections, and leave a powerful legacy.
