Raise Your Hand Say Yes With Tiffany Han

As ambitious high-achievers, there are certain things we’ve been taught not to say. Instead of four-letter words. I’m talking about phrases like:  I’m dissatisfied with this life I’ve worked so hard to build. I want something unnameably-different from this amazing looking life. I want more. And less. And fun in a way I can’t articulate.  If you can relate, start by taking the bar of soap out of your mouth—there’s no shame in feeling what you feel. Today I’m talking about what happens when we say what’s on our hearts and minds without self-judgment, even though there’s pressure to stay silent and stay grateful—and how to use those unsayable things as *useful* information. Wanna join me in hopping off the hamster wheel of self-improvement and looking inward with me?

Welcome back for another Year of No Update! I’m addressing the question we’ve all been asking…did giving up social media destroy my business? Spoiler Alert: Nope! That’s not to say things don’t look a little different these days. Listen in as I share exactly how different this year’s Grown-Up Gap Year Early Bird Registration went compared to last year. That’s right. Down to the exact numbers! I’m also chatting about what’s been coming up for me lately, some tricky things my brain is doing amidst the mid-year slipperiness, how social media worked for me last year, and why I might be preemptively thinking about hopping back in…Taking some time to discover what I’m most curious about has got me in full-on experiment mode, and I’m so excited to tell what I’m discovering!   Resources mentioned: Get on the wait list for Grown-Up Gap Year Get Tiffany in your Inbox!

How many times have you forced yourself to power through when you don’t really want to? This week, I’m talking about a recent “I hit a wall” experience of my own when I  reached my capacity and had to choose between two options: I could push through into burnout mode, putting out work I didn't feel great about. Or I could take a breath, give myself a little grace, and look around to see the earth still spinning.  You’ll hear what I did (I’ll be you can guess) and what things I want you to think about if (and when) you find yourself approaching! I also break down the pillars of Radical Self-Belief and how each can help you to slow down, be present, and keep from doing too much damage. A little late for preemptive measures? Don’t worry, friend. I’ve got something for you too. Let’s take a beat and feel a bit more alive, together.  Resources mentioned: Get Tiffany in your Inbox! Got a question? Ask Tiffany!

Welcome back to another Year Of No update where I’m talking all things business! With the upcoming early-bird application period of Grown-Up Gap Year in sight, I’ve been tossing out the formulas and harnessing my energy to have a bit more fun with it all. Sure, the “way things are done” exists for a reason, but if disregarding the rules lights us up, shouldn’t we run with that instead?    Via my Year of No, I’m opting for freaking awesome over fine and ditching the master plan in favor of trusting my energy.. After all, isn’t that what Grown-Up Gap Year is all about? Hint: It totally is. Listen in for the inside scoop on how I’ve been moving through my business differently, how I know I’ve set myself up for “success,” and my hunch as to why my results probably won’t have anything to do with being strategic.  Resources mentioned: Set a reminder for Grown-Up Gap Year Early Bird Access!  Get Tiffany in your Inbox!

It seems like everyone and their mother has something to teach us about “finding balance,” and maybe you think you could get there too if only you could just cross off enough on the to-do list! Today I’m here to burst the balance bubble once and for all, because while we’ve been taught incessantly about what a balanced life should look like, we’ve never been told what it feels like.  What if we scrapped the whole thing? What if we stopped striving for something that doesn’t exist? What if we found a way to light ourselves up in an unbalanced way? Do we dare find harmony in a song we can write ourselves? Today I’m sharing some helpful tools to do just that.  Take a deep, centering breath and decide what’s enough. Ready to begin?

Warning: This episode contains uncomfortable and necessary truths that will ultimately set you free. Today we're talking guilt, doubt, and the myth of “enoughness.” None of these plagues are going anywhere, anytime soon. AND  we have the opportunity to tap into DFSTAG to take those initially wobbly steps toward strutting into a life we so desire.   More good news? You’re not alone. We’ve got a LOT of unlearning to do, but we get to do it together! I’m going to clue you in on the tools to help dig deeper, the questions to ask for clarity, and even throw in a history lesson on why breathing is an important place to start.

If committing to a year of no was me planting a seed, I can now say that some very exciting (and pretty unexpected!) developments have taken root! I’ll get you caught up on how my Year of No is going, share what’s surprised me the most, and talk about my confirmation that a “Week of No” or a “Month of No” would never have worked for me.  I also re-cap last week’s Bake-Along experiment, my delicious live chat about trying something new while simultaneously trying something new! So meta.  Oh, and this whole episode is a great reminder that life is so much more delightfully exciting when you proceed in faithful surrender—without knowing the outcome.  Tune in to hear what I learned, and all that’s coming around the bend!  Resources mentioned: Got a question?

Relax your shoulders. Unclench your jaw. Today we’re talking surrender. While the word itself may summon images of everything from a day spa to a white-flag failure, I’m here to drive home the facts:    It’s not a walk in the park. It is NOT the same as giving up.  You cannot “achieve” your way into it.    What you can do is join me today with an open mind and a willingness to explore some new perspectives around infusing a little surrender into your everyday. Let’s see how much more fun we can have when we loosen our grips and toil a bit less.  Resources mentioned: RSVP for a conversation & Bake-Along with Tiffany!  Schedule a pitch-free chat with Tiffany!  Got a question?

In today’s history and linguistics lesson, I’m getting to the root of the un-influenced life and how best to find our way there. Who are we when we’re not being influenced? How can we find our way out of the rabbit hole when we’ve forgotten our discernment? Who is actually making the daily decisions in our lives?  After that, we’re talking “Slingshot Effect” and how to best utilize it on our journey back to ourselves. So let’s slow down to make progress. Let’s get quiet to find our voices. And let’s become fluent in the language of ourselves. This episode is like one big exhale. Breathe in with me and let’s begin.  Resources mentioned: Schedule a pitch-free chat with Tiffany!  Got a question? Ask Tiffany!

Today I’m diving into the idea of “living your best life.” Usually, this phrase is followed by a list of items we have to buy or a checklist of tasks required to reach that coveted place. But how many cashmere blankets does it take to get to your best life? Why does it seem as though the to-do list keeps growing no matter how effortlessly we check things off?  And what might change for you if you embrace that idea that your best life is already here?  Maybe I’ve piqued your interest. Or perhaps you’re appalled at that notion…either way, I promise all will be explained in today’s episode. Join me to find out what it means to say that your Best Life is here, today, while embracing radical self-belief and the 5 pillars of DF-STAG. Fear not, toxic positivity is not part of the equation. Let’s take a break from all of this powering through and greet our best lives together.  Resources mentioned: Listen to Ep. 393: Becoming Untamed, Real Self-Care, and Changing Your Mind with Glennon Doyle Listen to Ep. 394: CATEGO

This week on the Tiffany Han Show, I’m back with an update on my “Year of No” project, including all the ways I’m now saying “YES!” I’m also letting you in on my personal experience, especially during such turbulent times, living beyond the lens of social media. Spoiler alert: Instagram was costing me more than I realized.  I’ve been asking questions, following my curiosity, spirit tending, and even sitting in emotions I might have scrolled away from in the past. It’s not always easy, but living in this experiment feels pretty darn good. I’m also announcing a BIG change coming to the podcast!

This week, I am thrilled to bring you my conversation with Eve Rodsky about her new book, Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World. Eve has been called “the Marie Kondo of relationships” and is the best-selling author of Fair Play in which she used her Harvard Law School training and years of organizational management experience to create a game-changing approach to helping partners rebalance the domestic workload between them.  In her new book, she has created an inspirational guide for setting new personal goals, rediscovering your interests, cultivating creativity, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space…or the active and open pursuit of self-expression in any form, which requires value-based curiosity and purposeful sharing of this pursuit with the world. Speaking of activities you lose yourself in, get lost in this conversation with Eve and me!    Resources mentioned: Learn more about Eve Rodsky  Read Find Your Unicorn Space by Eve Rodsky Read Fair Play by Eve Rodsky  Follow Eve

This week, we’re talking about a few beliefs that are standing between you and your radiant, Technicolor life, and why I want you to practice kicking them to the curb…starting now…with a ton of grace. Many of these beliefs are rooted in systems of oppression that influence so much about our lives, so while the beliefs won’t dissolve overnight, we can take the first steps away from them together. It all starts with awareness.  Not only will I be tackling these limiting beliefs, but I’ll also share how to prepare for the inevitable resistance that shows up when we try to live with more ease in our lives. Is that little voice your intuition or something else entirely? Tune in to find out, and allow yourself to start where you start.  Resources mentioned: Making Things Happen Mini-Course is free until March 1!  Got a question? Ask Tiffany!

When it comes to inspired life design, it’s very easy to focus on the things we’re doing (or not doing!). This week, I’m inviting you to go deeper and consider instead the stories you might be telling yourself about whatever’s been going on. More often than not these stories are packed to the gills with judgment. Our well-meaning but unhelpful brains are doing their best, but needless to say, it may be time to get mindful of the power these stories hold over our lives.  In today’s fun-sized episode I’m giving you a helpful exercise to create space between your brain and the living stardust version of yourself. Three simple questions will help to tap into a deeper level of awareness where DF-STAG is sure to meet you!  Resources mentioned: Got a question? Ask Tiffany!

Welcome to Part 2 of the LIVE 400th episode Zoom party where I open up the floor to questions about 2022 “My Year of No” and giving up social media for a full year (or…forever?). Join me and members of the audience as we question and answer what this shift is going to mean for me, how to say “no” in a way that’s expansive, and what happens when it’s eventually time to say “yes.”  Is this a big ole change? Yup. Is there a possibility of “failure”? Totally! Am I taking this opportunity to experiment with ways to open my life up to more moments of joy and magic? Absolutely.

It’s that time of year again! In today’s episode, I’m revealing my phrase for 2022, and how I intend to harness its power in the new year. While past years of this practice have been more helpful than others, now more than ever feels like the time to plaster mantras on the walls that inspire us to find a little more magic in every day.  I’m also talking about all things change and how to navigate it. Join me in taking a pause to consider if the discomfort and danger we feel is truly a threat to us, or simply to the way things used to be.
