In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany shares two deeply personal lessons that are shaping her journey right now: learning to honor the emotions tied to leaving her family home and discovering a formula for meaningful networking. From the hard pause of packing up a decade of memories to the courage of showing vulnerability in professional settings, she opens up about the messy and the practical sides of growth.

Through stories of transition, connection, and reframing what progress really looks like, Tiffany highlights why letting yourself feel is just as important as moving forward with intention. She also offers her simple yet powerful formula for networking (proximity plus vulnerability equals progress) and shows how it can change the way we build relationships in life and business.

In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with keynote speaker and author Nicole Kalil to discuss the real engine of confidence. It’s not the polished image or the applause, but firm, bold trust in yourself. Nicole shares the “confidence derailers” that quietly chip away at us (overthinking, perfectionism, comparison, people-pleasing, and external validation) and offers a practical path back to action and self-trust.

From navigating image, aging, and norms without losing authenticity to parenting confidence in a feedback-saturated world, this conversation is an honest look at how to build confidence that lasts, and what to do when achiever mode burns you out.
