About Me

Early Career

Welcome! I'm Tanja — an author, event producer, and freedom advocate. I believe in building communities where every voice can be heard. My journey began in the event management industry, where I honed my skills in bringing people together and creating meaningful experiences.

Breakdown & Thailand

Life took an unexpected turn when I experienced burnout and mental health challenges. This led me to Thailand, where I began a journey of healing and self-discovery. During this transformative period, I started writing what would eventually become my book, "The Extraordinary / Zwischen nackt und narkotisiert," published under the pseudonym T.D. Forest.

Bitcoin & Community Work

My path to recovery introduced me to Bitcoin and decentralized technologies, which resonated deeply with my values of freedom and self-sovereignty. I became passionate about these technologies and their potential to empower individuals. This led me to organize the Nostr Booth Initiative at Bitcoin conferences, helping others understand and adopt decentralized social media platforms.

Present Day

Today, I combine my experience in event production, storytelling, and community building to advocate for decentralized technologies and personal empowerment. I speak at conferences, appear on podcasts, and continue to write and organize events that bring people together around these important topics.

My Mission

"I believe in building communities where every voice can be heard. Join me on my journey through storytelling, Bitcoin, and decentralized technology."
