The Reality, Pain, and Craziness of Being an Adult raised in an Alcoholic or Toxic Environment, with Guest, Andrea Ashley, Host of the Trending the “Adult Child” Podcast EP382

Your desire for wanting more isn’t greed or selfishness; it’s a desire to live your most fulfilling life. 

Which by the way is your birthright. You don’t need to be MORE of anything to be worthy of having the best and getting it. 

This is wisdom that took me MAAAANY years to finally understand then MAAAAANY more to believe and embody. One of my Divinely Driven missions is to help you honor, own, and live your Most Exceptional life! (That’s what the ME stands for in ProjectME by the way.)

Do you find yourself dreaming up something BIG, but you get caught in a cycle of self-doubt and then end up taking little to no action?

That was me. I would worry about making everyone else in my life happy before myself, as that’s what I thought a great friend, partner, coach, employee, and daughter would do. 

I wanted more, and thought the problem was that I didn’t know what steps to take or how to make it happen. That’s crap, but I believed my feelings as facts (very dangerous).

Once we believe something is possible for us, we all find a way to make it happen. 

If you’re stuck in this dream-paralyzing loop…then it’s time for a change.

If your desire for more makes other people in your life uncomfortable, that’s THEIR problem, not yours 

Your life will only be as good, as fulfilling, and as abundant as you believe you deserve. If you’re trying to make yourself and your desires smaller to make other people feel comfortable, the only person who will pay the price is YOU. 

Your desires are within you for a reason, don’t let a single person (including you) dictate whether or not they are “practical,” “reasonable,” or “worth investing in.”

YOU make that CHOICE:

???? Not your partner.
???? Not your parents.
???? Not the people on the internet.
???? Not your boss.
???? Not your kids.
???? Not your inner bully.

There is no one that escapes life without having some childhood wounds, some of us have more than others to process and manage. 

If you grew up in a toxic or dysfunctional household like I did, there is a deeper reason why you get “stuck” and paralyzed with in-action so often. 

I’ve brought on Andrea Ashley, a former CPA turned podcast host of the breakout-hit show the “Adult Child Podcast”. We have an extremely raw and real conversation on how her professional and adult life is affected by growing up in an alcoholic home. She ended up turning to drugs herself to numb the pain, and now celebrates 13 years of sobriety.

Ep 818 The “Everything Is Going to Shit” Crash Out: How I Handle It in Real Time

What do you do when everything seems to go wrong at once, and you have absolutely no idea how it’s all going to work out?

I was supposed to release a completely different episode today. It was already recorded. Everything was planned. Then I woke up to some major fucking bullshit…followed almost immediately by more bullshit.

So I scrapped the plan and hit record while I was still in it.

This isn’t an episode about resilience from the other side, when everything has worked out and you can package the experience into a beautiful lesson. I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I handle stress, uncertainty, business setbacks and unexpected life problems in REAL TIME, before I know the outcome.

Because when multiple things go wrong at once, your brain loves to take individual problems and turn them into one giant story:
Everything is falling apart.

Ep 817 The “Everything is Going to Sh!t” Phase before Your BIGGEST Quantum Leap w/ Shamina Taylor, Attorney Turned Wealth Expert

What if the moment when everything in your life seems to be falling apart at once isn’t proof that you’re going backward, but part of what happens before your biggest expansion?

Wealth expert and creator of The Quantum Woman™ framework Shamina Taylor joins Tiffany for a deeply honest conversation about what a quantum leap actually looks like in real life, including the part nobody wants to talk about: the breakdown before the breakthrough.

Shamina takes us inside her own quantum crash-out, when the successful life she had built began crumbling and forced her to confront what achievement, logic and pushing harder could no longer fix. What came next required emotional healing, identity work, learning to trust the unseen, and completely changing her relationship with money, success and herself.

Ep 816 Why Do You Procrastinate When You KNOW What to Do?

You know you need to post the content, talk about your offer, hire the help, make the investment, have the conversation, or finally start the thing you’ve been thinking about for months.

You’ve researched it. Planned it. Journaled about it. Asked ChatGPT 47 different ways. And you’re still not taking action.

This isn’t a motivation or discipline problem. And it definitely doesn’t mean you’re lazy.

Procrastination and self-sabotage can be automatic stress responses designed to protect you from what taking action might expose you to: failure, rejection, judgment, uncertainty, visibility, and even success.
