- H.I. Yates, author

"Tiffany and her guests are honest with their life experiences in such a way where you can either relate to or be inspired to acknowledge your own capacity to work through adversities.  I appreciate the bravery everyone has in being genuine with sharing their story, because the realness can have you go beyond hope to knowing you can get through the hard times."

"Tiffany's podcast is so worthy of your time!  She is someone who has learned from the hard times, shares them openly, and can relate with an open heart to what others are dealing with.  I love spending time with her and her guests.  Real people walking through real life with courage and positivity are something we all need exposure to  on the regular.  I do think she has a gift.  And I love her light!"

I love you Tiffany!"

Hey, I'm Tiff,
The voice behind
the podcast.

This may come as a BIG surprise to some of you that don't know me...
I'm an introvert.  It's only been in the last few years where I've made a commitment to start putting myself out into this world more, and it's been worth every second!

I never once thought my voice was anything special...until I started talking.  And now I know that it has important things to say, and important conversations to have with guests from all over the world. 

I can't wait to talk to you soon!

REVIEW

Journey?  Here's Why...

James and I got married on a beautiful beach in Mexico with close friends and family in attendance on May 15, 2003.

Our little miracle, Avery Rose, arrived in this world on September 3, 2008.  It took 5 years & many, many tears to get her here with us and we are grateful every day that God gave us this gift.

2003

2007

2013

The first 4-5 years of our marriage involved me finishing my CPA designation while doing infertility treatments to try & have a child.  Both of these situations led to my first BIG mental health breakdown.

Almost 5 more years and another round of IVF and these two miracles joined our family.  Ryder and Dylan were born April 7, 2013.

Hard                      

2015 will always be remembered as one of the hardest years of my life...to that point. I didn't know then how hard it was really going to get.  And wow....did it ever.

My second BIG mental health breakdown - I found myself hiding behind the clothes in my closet, hiding from my kids.  And then I was on a beach getting the self-care I needed.

2015

2016

2019

September 2016 our beautiful live in nanny Digna moved on to another family...and that's when things got REAL.  And when we were told all three of our kids have ADHD & ODD.

One night I was woken up by a very clear message - buy a microphone and start a podcast.  Ummmm ok?!  To talk about what?  And they said....your story.

2018

The beginning of my spiritual awakening!  I am so eternally grateful for finally understanding why I've had a Hard Beautiful Journey & what I can do with it to help others.

James and I made the decision to go our separate ways after almost 20 years of marriage.  It was one of the hardest things I have ever experienced.  Layered with the grief of losing my brother, I didn't know if I could endure much more.

2020

2021

2024

My beautiful brother Cory passed away on October 27, 2021 from a tragic drug overdose.  I thought I knew heartache and pain, but nope, this is a whole new level of grief I never thought I'd feel until much later in life.  

I am finding beauty from the ashes and showing others how it can be done in their lives as well.  It isn't easy but it's worth it to live the rest of this lifetime with peace and joy.
