Hey there! I’m Tiff.

Here’s a little inside tip about me: when I’ve been crying, it shows. There’s a spot on my cheek that lights up like an angel kissed it to say you’ll be ok — so I gave up pretending I hadn’t been crying a long time ago. Around here, we don’t do “fine.” We do real.

I love the kind of conversations where you can be completely yourself — silly, ugly-crying, snort-laughing, sometimes all three in the same story. Deep over surface, always (though I can do “how about this weather” in a pinch). That’s what this space is: those kind of conversations.

The Newsletter

Every week, a letter lands in your inbox — honest stories about grief, motherhood, starting over, and the general curriculum of earth school, told by someone who believes life is hard and we might as well laugh. I’m also writing my next book, a handbook for earth school, and you’ll get to watch it come together in real time, messy middle and all.

The Podcast

Hard Beautiful Journey lives here too — honest conversations where we cry and laugh in the same sentence. Subscribe to the newsletter, the podcast, or both. Your inbox, your rules.

The Living Room

After each episode, we keep talking in The Living Room. Come as you are. Bring a blanket.

A Bit About Me

I’m a mom of three, the author of Dancing in the Rain, and a certified introvert-who-loves-people (my Projector energy loves you deeply and will say “oh hell nah” to hanging out all day). Someday, I will see this all grow into retreats where we sit somewhere beautiful and laugh about our hard beautiful journeys together. You’re invited early.

If any of this sounds like your kind of room — subscribe. It’s free, and you’ll fit right in.
