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 787 Why Your Quantum Jump Isn’t Making You Next Level Money Yet

You feel the shift. You see the signs. You know something is changing… but your income hasn’t caught up.

If you’ve been deep in manifestation, personal growth, and mindset work but still aren’t making more money or seeing results in your business, this episode will show you exactly why.

There’s a gap between feeling a quantum jump internally and actually translating that into income, visibility, and business growth. Most people stay stuck here—consuming content, recognizing patterns, and doing the inner work—without ever turning it into something that makes them money online.

In this episode, Tiffany breaks down what quantum jumping really means in practical terms, why manifestation alone doesn’t create financial results, and how fear of being seen, nervous system responses, and lack of execution block your next level. You’ll also learn how to turn your personal growth, skills, and lived experience into a personal brand that generates income and creates real momentum in your business.

Ep 786 Why You Go All In on Your Business… Then Disappear (And How to Stop this Exhausting Cycle)

If you feel like you go all in on your business, build momentum, start seeing things work… and then suddenly fall off, lose consistency, or disappear altogether, this episode breaks down exactly why.

This is not about discipline, motivation, or “getting it together.” What you are experiencing is a predictable behavioral and neurological pattern that most entrepreneurs misdiagnose.

Inside this episode, you will learn what is actually happening in your brain and nervous system the moment you start gaining traction, why visibility and success can trigger resistance, and how this creates a cycle of inconsistency, self doubt, and lost income.

This episode blends neuroscience, psychology, and real world business strategy so you can stop repeating the pattern and start building consistent momentum that leads to results.
