Tanai Benard

Chief Executive Mom of 4 Deep Around The World, ESL Educator & Co - Founder of Wandering Moms

For Tanai Benard the Texas night sky was filled with bright shining lights, and she wanted to be one of them. She and her three children have become media darlings as 4 Deep Around The World and beacons of light that have shined from Texas, to the Middle East, all the way back to our nations capital. Not only for women learning their worth, but for anyone that needs to borrow her courage, strength, and personal power. She chose fearlessness over comfort, adventure over familiarity, and the new face of personal freedom for her growing network of friends and newfound family all over the world! Tanai desires to help women recapture their dreams and uses her story about her personal struggle and bold pursuit of change as a catalyst for women to soar. Convinced that there had to be more for her and her children, Tanai wouldn’t allow marital woes, financial hard times, dependence on public assistance or suicidal thoughts to continue to be her reality. She shares these ugly truths to help empower women to continue seeking greater opportunities for their families. Due to out the box thinking, Tanai now has financial freedom, a peaceful home, thriving children and the ability to travel the world with them. Her new normal is because she accepted an opportunity abroad that offered the things she lacked and desired in the U.S. Pursuing her dream to provide the best possible life for herself and her children, Tanai’s decision to accept an international teaching opportunity has transformed her life and the lives of her children forever. Empowering her children to believe in themselves, their talent and to see the world as their playground has been the most rewarding of all her new experiences. Her once quiet and timid children are now engaged, involved and excelling academically due to their new view of the world and themselves in it. Tanai desires to help more women remove the glass ceiling they’ve placed on their lives and to open up their hearts to new a normal.
