EP. 422: Healing at the Speed of Snail: My 8-Month Break (and What's Next)

Y’all. You know I love year-long experiments. In 2013, I tried to get 100 rejection letters. In 2015, I did a #postitdaily project on Instagram. In 2017, I experimented with quitting booze for a year. (And guess who celebrated her 7-year sober anniversary on January 4!?) In 2018, I did a #yearoftruthtalks on IG. In 2022, I gave myself a Year of No. And last year, I did Revival. The goals of my Revival experiment were to: release the rules about how things should be done reclaim how I want to show up to everything—my work, my life, my family, my self...all of it reconnect with my wildly-creative self and live the experiment out loud with radical self-belief, delight, curiosity, and intuition as my guides. Soooo, did I do it? Short answer: yes. But there are A LOT of asterisks!  Listen in to hear about all those asterisks, get into why it worked, and what lessons I’m bringing into 2024!  Because we know there's something more to life than the perfectly coiffed, perfectly creative version of ourselves we think we need to be.  Links:  Gentle Productivity Club (open through 1/18/24) Sign up for my newsletter  

What happens when you've been sharing your life online for 18 years, and realize one day that things aren't working? How do you step back from the internets when you're so connected to so many? Is this even allowed? In today's show, I have a candid and insightful conversation with the incredible Elise Cripe. She's been a familiar presence online for 18 years (and has been on this show multiple times), but she's decided it's time for a big shift. She's stepping back from the internet. Indefinitely. And she's talking about it here.  In this conversation, we talk about: + why Elise is making this change (including a look into the money piece!) + how long it took her to go from *hungry for change* to actually making it + what she's most looking forward to, once her life-online break starts This is an in-front-of-the-change conversation that we don't normally here, especially when showcasing the Afters is so popular! Settle in, and enjoy!  Links & Show Notes: Elise's links: Blog | Instagram Elise's Get to Work Book: Site | Instagram Connect with Tiffany: Get the newsletter | Site | Instagram

Welcome back to The Tiffany Han Show! This podcast has been a 9 year journey, and today I'm sharing why I took an 8-month hiatus from the show. Dive into what I've learned about healing, patience, and self-care during this hiatus. We'll also explore the concept of healing as a non-linear journey and the dangers of rushing the process.  And finally, you'll hear about future of The Tiffany Han Show, including what's in store for upcoming episodes (and why I can't promise weekly episodes quite yet). Remember, healing is not a race; it's a deliberate and often slow process that always takes longer than we think it should. Have faith.  Thank you for joining me today, and I can't wait to continue this adventure with you on The Tiffany Han Show!

Hey, y’all! It’s been a minute, and I’m back with some updates. In this episode, I’m giving you the lowdown on what’s going on with the podcast, an update on my Year of No, and a preview of what’s on tap for the new year. I’m drilling down into the healing process and why it requires slowing all the way down, and sharing my desire to travel back to a simpler time. Perhaps we can hold on to what worked from our pasts and bring those principles with us into this new year. Listen in to learn how.    Resources mentioned: Get Tiffany in your Inbox! Got a question?

Alright, y'all! All of my best September podcasting intentions got derailed by Covid, Mercury retrograde, and my launch. I'm back today with a scrappy update to share some big lessons I've been learning.  In this episode, you'll hear how my Year of No influenced my decision not to put out an episode now, what happened when we got Covid and how it affected my business, why I'm not freaking out about low launch results, and the huge *5 months in the making* revelation I had last week over a spoonful of Nutella.  Resources mentioned: Psst...Grown-Up Gap Year applications are open to podcast listeners through 10/4!

The Encanto Episode is here! But whether or not you’ve seen the movie, I’d like you to look at the three keywords in the title of this episode: Strong, Perfect, Waiting... Ringing any bells? There’s a reason this movie is so popular, and it’s not just because the songs are catchy as heck. The three Madrigal sisters give us an honest, sometimes gut-wrenching look into our own humanity and the pressures that come with it. Whether you relate to Mirabel, Luisa, Isabella, or all three on any given day, I’m giving you permission to slow down, release the pressure, and just be. Let’s share some magical Madrigal moments on today’s episode of the Tiffany Han Show.  Resources mentioned: RSVP to Tiffany’s Grown-Up Gap WEEK!

Has this thought ever crossed your mind? “I will _____ just as soon as I _____.” (Feel free to fill in the blanks with that thing you really want to do, followed by what you “have to” do.) It’s easy to feel like we have to keep chugging along even when things feel out of alignment, and today’s episode is a reminder that we are not worker bees! We are made of stardust, and we deserve to live in a place that doesn’t feel like burnout—even when there’s a lot to get done. Instead of hanging our hopes of relief on how quickly we can get things done, there is a gentler, more authentic, and meaningful way to move through our days and I want to tell you how. Less bee-ing and more being! Are you with me?   Resources mentioned: RSVP to Tiffany’s Grown-Up Gap WEEK! Get on the wait list for Grown-Up Gap Year Get Tiffany in your Inbox! Got a question?

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!
