Tiffany

Mother, wife, daughter, coach, beauty influencer and healthy lifestyle advocate. The best day of my life was giving birth to my boy/girl twins. Their cries were the sweetest things I'd ever heard. My worst day was finding out my mom had ovarian cancer. She is a true light in my life and is still fighting her fight. I'm an introvert with social anxiety so opening up and talking about myself to others can be difficult. My biggest insecurity is that sometimes when friends talk with each other I don't know what to say or do - it makes me feel like an outsider. I know that these are just my feelings and not reality but it’s hard not to feel this way. I'm on medication for depression and anxiety and that has helped me tremendously. I also practice deep breathing and standing with my hands on my hips while counting backwards from 5-1 when feeling anxious. I have felt not good enough and see these feelings in my daughter but I tell her she IS good enough and can make choices in life to empower her. I used to live by the story that what I had to say wasn't important. My new story is that my thoughts and words matter. I'd tell a 12 year old me that she will love her curly hair one day. That all her worries will be for not and that she will use her gifts to help others - to stay positive and love herself. I feel most alive when I'm hiking in the woods. It's when I feel connected to the earth and grounded in my soul. A perfect day would be zip lining with my husband, kids and best friends in CA. I've never been but it’s on my bucket list. Beauty is feeling good in your own skin. The recipe to a strong romantic relationship is communication, team work, respect and having individual interests. I wish women judged themselves less and knew they didn't have to do it ALL. In 10 years I hope to be wiser and to have learned even more about myself, to see my twins in college ready to launch into the world. I hope to have no debt and to be able to travel the world. I'm proud of how far I've come over the past few years and how confident I am with myself. I am centered, motivated and happy. I am Tiffany. I am a positive force in this world and I love to make people smile.
