Hard Beautiful Journey
Welcome to Hard Beautiful Journey, where vulnerability is our strength and courage is our compass. Hosted by Tiff Carson, who has walked a difficult path of her own, this podcast is a beacon of healing and hope. My mission? To create a space where we can talk openly about life’s hardest moments and the incredible strength it takes to move through them. If you’ve seen my podcast cover, you’ll notice a heart that’s broken, covered in ashes—but also healing. That heart represents the journey we all face. It’s through the cracks that the light shines in, and it’s in that light we find our way out of the dark. On this journey, I share my 7 pillars that guide us through healing: 1. Use Your Voice – Speak your truth and break the silence. 2. Love Your Story – Embrace your past, your pain, and your power. 3. Ignite Your Gratitude – Find the light even in the darkest moments. 4. Honor Your Body – Care for the vessel that carries you through it all. 5. Awaken Your Joy – Seek out the moments of laughter and joy, even when it feels hard. 6. Find Your Tribe – Build your community and lean on others. 7. Nurture Your Soul – Feed your spirit with what heals and uplifts you. Here, we dig into stories of grief, trauma, addiction, resilience, and overcoming loss, as well as the beautiful parts of life—like discovering inner strength, finding joy, and connecting with others in deep, meaningful ways. You’ll hear from people who’ve faced incredible challenges and emerged stronger, as well as those who are still in the process of healing. Together, we’ll explore what it means to rebuild after life knocks you down, and how to rise again, more whole than ever before. This community is for anyone on their own hard and beautiful journey. It’s for those who want to learn, grow, and feel less alone in the process. The Hard Beautiful Journey isn’t just a podcast—it’s a shared experience, built on these 7 pillars, and I’m so grateful to have you along for the ride.

On today's episode, my sweet hubby James is back to talk about our decision to try sleep divorcing and how we both think it has affected our marriage. I LOVE sleep, it's my number one when it comes to self care. More so than spa days and massages!! And I married a hard core snorer.

The very first interview goal I had when starting my podcast was with this organization. I wanted the WORLD to hear the message that this organization is about because they are VALUES that I hold as vital in my life. KIND.....This message is so universal....for children in grade school, to preteens and teens in high school, young adults in university and then businesses and organizations all over the world. The message is so simple....Do Good. Be Kind.

I booked that plane ticket faster than I had booked Vegas trips....I needed to KNOW what the heck ADHD was or I was going to lose what was left of my sanity.
In this episode, I am sharing some valuable insight I learnt at a presentation my Mom and I attended in Kelowna, BC by Dan Duncan. This presentation changed EVERYTHING for me and for our family.

The child went from being Tommy the Tortoise to Ben Johnson the sprinter right before my eyes. And the only thing that helped me find him was his bright coloured clothing. This was only PART of our family vacation to Florida. But there is always something to be grateful for. Find out what in this week’s episode of Hard Beautiful Journey!
